A delicious little turd 😂😋😂

Why did you go there? Now l won't be able to eat' 'em without seeing the turd part!

You wouldn't be able to eat cashew apple, it's really unpleasant and even toxic, but the juice from processed cashew apples is really really nice indeed!

The juice is delicious and very refreshing! Is very common here in Brasil.

North Africa and that is why cashews are so costly.

Brazil, especially in the Northeastern region of the country

Bless you

Good tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, a bit of salt... mmmmmm. Maybe with a little bit of appel vinegar... and some good bread for dipping at the end. But it's not about the glutamate, actually. Tomatoes contain glutamate (140-250 mg), but green tea contains much more (up to 670 mg) and I wouldn't put salt on my tea.

Catered a Very Fancy wedding. Cut circles into white bread (don't worry, scraps were used for other things. no waste). A little mayo, fresh tomato slice, and a dash of Lowry's. Top with a piece of fresh basil. The only thing we ran out of, and we had made hundreds.

Try it with mayo and then put on salt taste even better when it’s fresh growing tomatoes

What kinda worked?

Are you telling me you've never put salt on a tomato???

I like sugar on my tomatoes it cuts down the acidity and it's a nice treat.

Glutamate is what is in tomatoes. MSG is sugar or starch that is fermented, and that is natural as well, but there is nothing you can do to a tomato to create msg.

Brassica oleracea, it is quite the plant! Not all of the ones you listed are the same species (mustard greens are Brassica juncea, unless there is another common name I don't know!) so they are more like coyotes to dogs. (With apologies, I'm a botanist and I can't help myself!)

The difference is that all the dogs mentioned taste pretty much the same.

You forgot Kale

Don't forget Kale, collard greens, swede (rutabaga), turnips, kohlrabi, rape (the source of the above-mentioned canola oil), and the seeds used to make mustard. All cultivars of brassica. A huge share of the green veg we eat come from 1 of 5 brassica species, which are all hybrids of each other. Crazy!

The same goes for all varieties of salmon and trout

And domesticated animal

At my old house there was a cherry tree that had ornamental “weeping” cherry branches grafted in. By the time we bought the house, the original cherry tree had started fighting the graft, and the tree had some ornamental branches and some regular branches. We called it the frankencherry tree.

I think the point is that, if you plant Macintosh apple seeds, you might get Empire apples.

Its regani (pronounced reeghanee), but it does come from oros and ghanos, the first word being mountain/highland terrain and starting with an O

Feels like that should involve the art of 'herb folding' 😁

Yeah me either, I'm just not a fan of herbs altogether. Oregano, rosemary, thyme, i loathe cilantro. Spices yes, absolutely, layer them on. Herbs, I'm gonna take a pass. But everybody likes their own thing right
