Description

Gardeners tend to assume that any organic product is automatically safe for humans and beneficial to the environment—and in most cases this is true. The problem, as Jeff Gillman points out in this fascinating, well-researched book, is that it is not always true, and the exceptions to the rule can pose a significant threat to human health. To cite just one example, animal manures in compost can be a source of harmful E. coli contamination if imporperly treated. Gillman's contention is that all gardening products and practices—organic and synthetic—need to be examined on a case-by-case basis to determine both whether they are safe and whether they accomplish the task for which they are intended. Ultimately, Gillman concludes, organic methods are preferable in most situations that gardeners are likely to encounter. After reading this eye-opening book, you will understand why, and why knowledge is the gardener's most important tool.

Description

Quality is a composite term encompassing many characteristics of foods. These include color, aroma, texture, general nutrition, shelf-life, stability, and possible presence of undesirable constituents. Obviously deterioration of quality may lead to changes in the attributes that characterize the food in its fresh or freshly processed state. In addition, quality enhancement of products may be carried out using appropriate processing techniques. Interaction of different components present with one another could have a profound effect on sensory quality of products. Meanwhile, presence of extraneous matter such as pesticides and debris may also contribute to a compromise in the quality of foods. In addition, processing often brings about changes in many attributes of food including its nutritional value. Thus, examination of process-induced changes in food products is important. In this book, a cursory account of quality attributes of fresh and processed foods is provided. The book is of interest to food scientists, nutritionists and biochemists in academia, government and industry.

In the modern suburban landscape, beautiful, green lawns are perhaps the most ubiquitous feature of all. It’s difficult to imagine a friendly neighborhood without broad, clean stretches of neatly shorn grass.

Step by step, he takes readers through the many elements that work together to form a healthy, organic lawn. Well-treated soil, fed properly with compost and natural fertilizers, is the foundation of every great lawn.

A beautiful, naturally maintained lawn can be as simple as that.An organic, healthy lawn is the best defense against weeds and pests, but when unwanted visitors creep in, Tukey is ready with Weed and Thug ID Guides and advice on dispatching them naturally or learning to live with the benign offenders.

Description

Spaghetti literally means "strings", and this spaghetti is long and curved in the middle. The best sauces for spaghetti are oil based, which coat the noodles evenly and keep the strands from clumping together.Just outside Naples and the Amalfi coast, Gragnano is reputed as the birthplace of dried pasta. There, a consortium of small producers, the Cooperativa di Pasta Gragnano, produces the region's most traditional cuts, strictly adhering the artisan production techniques of yesteryear. Using only bronze dies and slow-drying techniques, the Cooperativa crafts pasta of unbelievably rough texture and palate-bursting flavor. Today, they are at the forefront of a local effort to preserve the artisan traditions behind the legendary Gragnano name. Says Cooperativa president, Antonio Marchetti, in the Washington Post, "Real pasta can be forgotten if we are not careful."

Features

• Literally "strings", Pasta di Gragnano's popular slender noodles are terrific with simple tomato sauces or oil-based sauces.
• Produced in Gragnano, just outside Naples, the birthplace of dried pasta.
• Made with the highest quality local wheat
• Produced traditionally by the Cooperativa Pasta di Gragnano, a tiny cooperative of pasta-makers

Description

To describe the location of the San Matteo farm is immediately to want to go and live there: it's set amidst a splendid and extensive citrus grove, that looks out over the sea at the enchanting gulf of Taormina on the one side, and up to Mount Etna on the other. Add to that the naturally mild climate, the highly fertile volcanic soil, the skill and passion of Carlo Limone, the use of organic agriculture, and you begin to understand why the products of this company are so good. Take this Red Onion Preserve, for example: on opening the jar you are greeted by the delightful sweet onions perfume. Well, this seems to be a preserve for real experts, but in fact it is simply a gourmet preserve, one of those you are tempted to match with anything savory you'll find in your kitchen, fresh and aged cheeses, meats and hams, to bring the colors and the flavors of Sicily at home. All that remains is to emphasise that production is artisanal, the product free of preservatives and that, instead of using caster sugar, wheat-syrup is employed to allow reduction in total sugar content.

Features

• Made with organic fruit by Carlo Limone in Sicily
• Oranges picked on the farm's groves on the Taormina Gulf
• Unique bitter sweet combination of orange and coffee beans
• Low sugar content, wheat syrup is added instead
• A glass jar of 13 oz
