Avocado an introduction The tree from which the commercial avocado fruit (technically a berry due to the fact it develops from a single ovary and has the seed embedded in the fruit), come from the avocado tree Persea americana Mill which originates from Central America. The avocado is a nutritious fruit high in lipids particularly mono unsaturated which may help lower levels of cholesterol. Avocados are sources of fibre and fairly high levels of protein. It is a good source of Vitamins A, B3, B5, C and E and of the mineral potassium. For a more detailed breakdown of avocados see appendix 1.
The first and probably most obvious similarity is that they are both fruits, and quite popular fruits at that. Both apples and oranges are tasty and are good sources of vitamin C. The FDA recognizes apples and oranges as a full serving of fruit on the food pyramid. Another similarity between these is that they both grow on trees and are generally a round spherical shape with seeds in the center. They are both often packed in lunches or as snacks because they are easy to handle and can last a long time in a refrigerator before going bad. In contrast, apples are usually red or green, and oranges are surprisingly an orange color.
Although they both carry the famed name Cheerios, both cereals are different in taste but almost exactly the same in vitamins and minerals. These cereals offer a variety of health benefits such as lowering high cholesterol. And providing families with food that everyone can enjoy. Honey Nut and Apple Cinnamon Cheerios are both high in folic acid, which helps prevent birth defects and improves the spinal system of new born babies. Calcium and Phosphorus can also be found in these Cheerios, they help improve eye sight and bone health by making them stronger.
Wilson English 101 (Extra Credit) How to Grow an Avocado Tree: Have you ever eaten an avocado and wished you could do something with the enormous seed? Well, you can; with a little luck and a little skill, you can grow an attractive house plant from it. Caring for an avocado is not complicated, provided you follow a few simple rules. Wash the seed in tepid water, removing all the pulp. Suspend the seed with the broad end pointing down in a water-filled glass or jar by driving three toothpicks into the sides for support.
The species, often called sweet leaf or sugar leaf, is widely grown for its intensely sweet leaves. A component on the leaf called stevioside is extracted and manufactured into the calorie-free sweeteners you see in stores. Originally Stevia was only available as a "dietary supplement" in the U.S. In 2008 the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status to rebaudioside A, one of
A very large majority of banana varieties are not really able to grow for international trade, according to the article, their skin is too thin, or their pulp is very bland. Big banana companies like Dole and Chiquita are working on developing a replacement variety of the Cavendish, which has become the mass-market banana of choice for farmers and distributors because it provides a lot of fruit. Although Cavendishes need a lot of caring to grow, they are the only variety that provides farmer with a large amount of palatable fruit that can endure overseas trips without ripening or bruising too easily. The Cavendish is rich in Vitamins B6 and C, it contains a lot of potassium, magnesium, and fiber in it. It is also not very expensive, that is almost 60 cents per pound.
Because as malnutrition patients are weak and thin, the healthy high calorie food contains high amount of nutrients, vitamins and minerals. It also contains fat that are healthy and well. However, Malnutrition patients should be careful because some of the foods are unhealthy even though they are high in calorie. Some of the healthy high calorie foods that I would recommend for patients are: fruits such as banana which is healthy and contains 115.6Kcals. Fruits juices are as well healthy option such as Orange juice 87.7Kcal per glass, Pineapple 100.0 Kcal per glass, Apple juice 94.9 Kcal per glass.
The results indicate that fresh pineapple is best for digesting protein instead of using tinned pineapple. The experiment concludes that tinned pineapple is not as effective in breaking down amino acids in gelatine and that fresh pineapple digested is the process of catalysing the chemical reaction in breaking down protein. It is recommended that the use of fresh pineapple over tinned pineapple is used because results are more evident in the subdividing of proteins. This will therefore increase the speed of digesting protein, to maximise the efficiency of an athlete or performer. Introduction: There have been many studies on finding a way to digest protein quickly and efficiently.
In fact, he planted nurseries rather than orchards, built fences around them to protect them from livestock, left the nurseries in the care of a neighbor who sold trees on shares, and returned every year or two to tend the nursery. Although apples grown from seed are rarely sweet or tasty, apple orchards with sour apples were popular among the settlers because apples were mainly used for producing hard cider and apple jack. In some periods of the settlement of the Midwest, settlers were required by law to plant orchards of apples and pears in order to uphold the right to the claimed land. So Johnny Appleseed planted orchards that made for popular real estate on the frontier. [8] His first nursery was planted on the bank of Brokenstraw Creek, south of Warren, Pennsylvania.
The trees have adventitious roots that bud out from the trunk, and the female trees appear to bear pineapples. The pineapple –like flower is actually made up of a cluster of seeds or keys that range in color from reddish to bright orange to golden. The male trees are called hinano (Hawaiian word), and usually have less leaves, and have a much more fragrant flower. The leaves of the hala tree are long and skinny with thorny edges and midribs along the base. Most of the leaves are green, but there are some hybrid species now with yellow and green striped
