Sweet potato

According to the Constitutional Rights Foundation, “more than half of the Irish people depended on the potato as the main part of their diet, and almost 40 percent had a diet consisting of entirely potatoes…if the potato crop failed, there was nothing to replace it.” It was in the summer of 1845 that the first sign of trouble occurred. The crop seemed to be flourishing, but when the potatoes were being harvested…

be using potatoes. Potatoes are members of the family Solanaceae. Solanaceous plants originated in the new world, and the potato and its relatives were first introduced to Europe in the 16th century. The edible part of a potato, the tuber, is derived from the potato stem. It is rich is starch and has some protein just under the skin. These nutrients are stored in the potato and are intended by the plant to be used for supplying energy and raw materials for new plant growth (Schultz 2006).…

fries, Hash browns, Vodka, these are just some of the fantastic uses for potatoes. The Potato is a fantastic starch and a very versatile vegetable. Where did they come from? Where are they Grown? How do we store and eat them? These are just some topics I will be discussing in this paper. Staring with the history we will find where and when the first potatoes had been farmed and cultivated. The history of the potato begins in the high Andes Mountains of South America at elevations often…

Sustainable Consumption: French fries The article, “Study Sheds Light on Broadening U.S. Hunger Problem” was very interesting to read. I am thankful for programs that help people out when they are in need for food because sometimes I have to get help from their services. I would always wonder why most healthy foods were for a higher price than unhealthy foods; I believe that is why most people are having a hard time getting rid of fat. Maybe stores should have discounts on items for college…

Investigation was carried out to assess the effect of salt concentration on quality of sauerkraut prepared from mature cabbage head. Cabbage sample were chopped in small pieces and mixed with different salt concentrations ie., 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 % and allowed to ferment for preparation of sauerkraut at ambient condition. Acidity of sauerkraut increased with increase in fermentation period and it reached maximum on 21 days after fermentation and thereafter it decreased in all the salt…

There are various ways to grow tasty, nutrient-packed potatoes, all of which are reasonably easy and straightforward. In a nutshell, potatoes grow best when placed in light, loose soil and placed out of direct sunlight—farmers who grow potatoes pray like mad men for rain because they want to ensure that they’ll be able to harvest a luxury of well-grown potatoes when the time comes. With most crops, you could see the “fruit of your labor” while it’s growing. Potatoes, on the other hand, grow…

Five Guys gets their potatoes primarily from Idaho and display the exact farmer whose potatoes are being used in that particular store each day. They buy about five percent of the total potato product of Idaho according to the President of the Idaho Potato Commission, Frank Muir (Ellis, 2012). Rick Miles Produce of Rigby, Idaho delivers all of the 2.5 million pounds each week to Five Guys from his association of only 100 families. However, as the brand grew/grows sourcing…

Wanting someone to plow The ground is hard and full of rocks, thorns and weeds. No new life can spring up on the ground until it is first plowed. Plowing a field will be extremely hard work and it will take up time, but in order to have a crop, the field must be plowed. In understanding that a field must be plowed before seeds are sown, the field will produce a health crop. However, I believe that many of us have forgotten this fact when it comes to the Word of God and someone’s heart. As I…

Cecilia Wong Nature of the task and the research question: Two centimetre piece of potato is bathes into different salt solutions (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 25%, 35%) over a period of time, to determine the effect of different salt solutions on osmosis. To investigate the effect of increasing the concentration of sodium chloride (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 25%, 35%) on the process of osmosis, by calculating the mass change of the potato core (g, ±0.01g) at room temperate of lab (25.0˚C) Table 1: Raw data Table…

Mustard oil is a fatty vegetable oil which is obtained from mustard seeds. There are basically three varieties of mustard oil available. The difference between these three varieties lies in the method of extraction, chemical composition and properties. The fatty vegetable mustard oil is extracted by pressing mustard seeds. Mustard oil is obtained by cold compression of the mustard seeds and by infusing this extracted oil with other oils to get the final product. Essential mustard oil is obtained…
