Davidson Plum – Davidsonia pruriens Davidsonia pruriens, also known as ooray, Davidson’s plum, or Queensland Davidson’s plum, is a medium sized rainforest tree of northern Queensland, Australia. The leaves are large and compound. The edible dark burgundy colored fruit is produced in large clusters from the branches or the trunk, depending on the type. There are at least two distinct forms, with a suggestion that one of these is an undescribed species. The indigenous name – ooray – is being increasingly used by growers and processors. The tree is cultivated to a limited extent for its sour fruit, which is used to make jam, sauces, cordial and wine. The fruit is high in antioxidant activity. https://lnkd.in/g7pwGFK3

#snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking FRUITS Fruits are the means by which flowering plants (also known as angiosperms) disseminate their seeds. Edible fruits in particular have long propagated using the movements of humans and other animals in a symbiotic relationship that is the means for seed dispersal for the one group and nutrition for the other; humans and many other animals have become dependent on fruits as a source of food.[1] Consequently, fruits account for a substantial fraction of the world's agricultural output, and some (such as the apple and the pomegranate) have acquired extensive cultural and symbolic meanings. In common language usage, fruit normally means the seed-associated fleshy structures (or produce) of plants that typically are sweet or sour and edible in the raw state, such as apples, bananas, grapes, lemons, oranges, and strawberries. In botanical usage, the term fruit also includes many structures that are not commonly called 'fruits' in everyday language, such as nuts, bean pods, corn kernels, tomatoes, and wheat grains.

5 Steps to Sprouting Seeds 🌱 Step 1: Choose Your Seeds. Select seeds for the veggies and herbs you'll need to create a classic Métis dish. Step 2: Prepare the Soil. In Métis culture, we recognize that the land is sacred. Take time to prepare your soil with care, enriching it with compost and nutrients. Step 3: Plant with Intention. As you sow your seeds, reflect on the tradition and history behind each plant; certain seeds are a connection to our Métis roots and the traditional diet of our ancestors. Step 4: Cultivate and Water. Tend to your garden with diligence and care, watering regularly. Step 5: Harvest with Gratitude. When the time comes to harvest your vegetables and herbs, do so with gratitude. #MétisTraditionalRecipes #MétisHeritage #MétisNationalCouncil #BisonStew #MétisFoods

If life is what you make of it - so is internet. This is a nice quick video to discuss food, science, or agriculture. It can also be an intentional descend into a deep dive that touches the broken spirits of students and communities dealing with globalized agriculture that relies on their local threatened natural capital, and even those living far away whose hearts and minds are weary with ecoanxiety that has no outlet. You could lead with curiosity and let it flow. What can we learn from cinnamon harvesting to help our local forests or trees to thrive? See, if you take bark away from a tree the way these experts are, plants can be managed sustainably. That inner bark or even a whole plant is rebuilds and other trees are available for harvest during that time. Other methods of dissecting and harvesting plants and trees can be useful for fruit production, timber, soil erosion, and habitat restoration.

As a kid, did you ever care about what fancy names or labels came with your candies?? As long as those delectable treats tickled our taste buds and gave us sheer satisfaction, that was all that mattered...right Little did we know, that agriculture played a vital role in bringing those indigenous candies to our eager mouths.

The luscious coconut that forms the base of this candy is nurtured and harvested by coconut farmers who carefully tend to their coconut trees. These farmers make sure that their trees receive ample sunlight, water, and nutrients to yield the best coconuts with the perfect balance of sweetness and flavor. Without their expertise and dedication, we wouldn't have that creamy goodness that makes our taste buds dance with joy. And let's not forget about the scrumptious fruit candies that made our mouths water. Fruits like mangoes, pineapples, and strawberries are meticulously grown and harvested by dedicated farmers. They carefully choose the best varieties, provide the right soil conditions, protect the trees from pests, and ensure the fruits ripen to perfection. These farmers play a crucial role in bringing those fruity flavors to our candies, pleasing our taste buds, and providing us with that much-needed satisfaction. So, the next time you indulge in your favorite indigenous candy, take a moment to appreciate the hard work and expertise of our farmers.

Not all fruits taste sweet. Tomatoes are botanically classified as fruits. Tomatoes grow from a flowering part of the plant. So everything having seed inside, cucumber 🥒, pumpkin, are all fruits A vegetable in botanical terms means all other edible aspects of the plant; the roots, stems and leaves #Know_your_food

Strawberries, despite their name, aren't true berries in botanical terms because their seeds come from different parts of the flower, not a single ovary. Instead, they're considered aggregate fruits. Surprisingly, bananas, avocados, and watermelons, which might not seem like berries in everyday language, are actually classified as berries because they develop from a single ovary and have seeds inside their flesh, meeting the botanical criteria for true berries.
