🍋In the December issue, Cyndie Lipka (Bell Flavors & Fragrances) pens, "So, what is a citrus devotee such as me to do? Well, we can cast our eyes upon some new citrus fruits that are at various stages of acceptance in the United States. Yuzu can be confused as a lemon or lime, there is a noticeable difference in flavor profile. It’s often called out as being herbal and or floral or called a cross between lemon and grapefruit with even mandarins and oranges have been mentioned. Yuzu is heavy in terpenes as you might expect for a citrus fruit. Containing significant amounts of β-ocimene, β-myrcene, γ-terpinene, linalool, α-terpineol and of course limonene, yuzu peel oil might at first blush be confused for a lemon or lime when looking at compositional data. However, the presence of relatively high levels of linalyl acetate and something called yuzu lactone (FEMA# 4959), certainly differentiates this citrus from others." #citrus #yuzu Read here: https://lnkd.in/eVNGw4GY

Our teas are of such high quality that the same leaves can be infused several times. Each time you infuse the tea different subtleties of the delicate flavors will be released. It is essential that the tea leaves are not left to stew once they have been infused; straining the tea completely between infusions will prevent the leaves from becoming bitter - it's akin to cooking a steak to perfection and then leaving it in the frying pan.

Exploring the Diversity of Tea There is an incredibly wide world of tea out there once you begin to explore beyond more common black and green varieties. Here is a glimpse at a few lesser-known types of tea and what you can expect when you take a sip. Oolong - This partially oxidized tea from China and Taiwan offers a smooth, but complex flavor profile. It often features notes of honey and ripe fruit underscored by a pleasant roasted aroma. High quality oolong can have an almost floral quality. Pu-erh - This fermented tea gets better with age, much like a fine wine. Young Pu-erh tends to be earthy and bitter, while aged versions take on hints of mocha, wood, tobacco, and even camphor. The flavor is strong, raw, and often an acquired taste. White - Made from young tea buds and leaves, white tea often comes across as airy and delicate. It is minimally processed to preserve a fresh, slightly sweet flavor. You may encounter notes of melon, vanilla, honey, and citrus in some white teas. Rooibos - Technically a tisane or herbal tea, South African rooibos carries a distinct reddish hue. It possesses a mild, smooth flavor profile with hints of cinnamon, nuts, honey, and wood. Rooibos is high in antioxidants and completely caffeine-free. These are just a small sample of the amazing diversity in the world of tea. What interesting new varieties have you discovered recently?

While we in the DACH-region use cinnamon traditionally seasonally at Christmas, elsewhere it is an important ingredient in cooking all year round. Today in our Spice Knowledge series we want to talk about where cinnamon comes from, how it is cultivated and harvested. In this little series we talk about all the facts around the different spices to highlight the varieties of our product range. There are many different types of cinnamon, but only very few of them are cultivated for spice production. Ceylon cinnamon originated in Sri Lanka but is now cultivated throughout Southeast Asia. Regardless, only Ceylon cinnamon from Sri Lanka is allowed to be declared as "Ceylon cinnamon" and different places of origin must be declared separately. Cassia cinnamon is mainly cultivated in China. Ceylon cinnamon is the higher quality cinnamon compared to cassia cinnamon. The main difference between the two is the coumarin content, with Ceylon being the variety with the lower content. This is a sign of quality because coumarin can be of high risk for liver problems in children, seniors, and those with pre-existing health conditions. However, there is no need to fear health risks for healthy people if they consume it normally. Cinnamon is mainly known as a cinnamon stick or in ground form. The spice is obtained by drying the bark of the cinnamon trees, which then rolls up into the typical stick shape. If the dried bark is then ground, cinnamon powder is obtained. The blossom can also be used as a spice. In addition to baking, cinnamon is also used to flavor drinks or some curries and other spice blends. #hacogroup #custommade #spices

Mint, as a medicinal herb doesn't need an introduction. These plants are known for the cooling sensation they impart. It is a popular ingredient in several foods and beverages, ranging from teas and alcoholic drinks to sauces, salads and desserts. Mint is a good source of nutrients like Vitamin A, Iron, Folate, Manganese. It is also a potent source of antioxidants. Different varieties of Mints have distinctly different taste, flavour and aroma. While, I usually find just one or two varieties of Mint being sold at the local supermarkets. I was amazed to see some good 25 varieties of Mint at Biogaertnerei Christian Herb. Here are some varieties of Mint mentioned below, that I loved propagating and working with, this week at work : Morocco Mint Persian Mint Russian Mint Swiss Mint Lemon Mint Orange Mint Pineapple Mint Strawberry Mint Hillary's Sweet Lemon Mint Basil Mint Ginger Mint Apple Mint Nane Mint Choco Mint My favourite ones are Morocco Mint and Choco mint..Whats yours? #organic #minze #mint #gaertnerei #nursery #herbs

📖Introducing The Beautiful Inside and Out Lychee Fruit📖 Lychee Profile📚 The fruit lychee is indigenous to southern China and is a member of the soapberry family. The outer layer of lychees is crimson, oval-shaped, and 1-2 inches broad. The thick, translucent-white part of the lychee fruit, which covers a seed, is located beneath the skin. When is Lychee Season? 🌳 Lychees are usually imported since they require a tropical climate to thrive (except in Hawaii and some sections of Florida). Peak seasons vary based on the nation from whence they originate, but they typically occur in May through September. If you can find fresh lychees, wrap them in a paper towel and place them inside a perforated or airy storage bag; this will keep them fresh for up to a week. Is Lychee Good for The Body? 🤔 Lychee is a wonderful way to get your recommended daily intake of fruit and has a respectable quantity of vitamin C. Additionally, research suggests that fresh lychee fruit may have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant qualities. The Right Way to Eat Lychee🤤 Don't be alarmed by that rough exterior. First, split the lychee open, right below the stem. From there, the fruit, which has a texture similar to a grape without the peel, is readily revealed by peeling away the leathery red skin or popping it out with a little squeeze from the other end. Remove the seed and eat the lychee fruit like you would a cherry. Lychees should not be peeled right before serving or consumption for optimal flavor. And How Does Lychee Taste Like? 😋 Sweet, slightly flowery, and slightly acidic flavors abound in the fragrant lychee. When you bite into it, you'll experience a rush of juicy flavor that tastes like a pear or strawberry with a touch of citrus. Some people even like the flowery flavor of roses. If these have made your mouth water, then don’t hesitate to reach out to NDFood and order some to eat!
