It passes through the body undigested. Fiber comes in two varieties, both beneficial to health. Soluble fiber, which can dissolve in water, contains pectin (a soluble gelatinous polysaccharide present in many fruits, used to thicken preserves), gums (an adhesive substance), mucilage (a thick gluey polysaccharide from plant), and some hemicellulose (similar to cellulose but more random). The following food contain soluble fiber: Oatmeal, nuts, beans, and apples. Soluble fiber has the following benefits: lowering glucose levels and cholesterol. Insoluble fiber (insoluble in water) contains cellulose (a polymer of glucose), lignin (a class of complex organic polymers that makes up cell walls and wood), and some hemicellulose. The following foods contain insoluble fiber: Whole wheat, whole grain couscous, brown rice, legumes, carrots, cucumber, and tomatoes. Insoluble fiber has the following benefits: Help food move through one’s digestive system, and help preventing constipation. This is why children and adults need at least 20 to 30 grams of fiber everyday for good health, but most people get much less fiber.

Flavor took a backseat in the breeding of hybrids in favor of characteristics that enhanced pro- ductivity, uniformity, disease-resistance, and long shelf life. Heirlooms can have their downside. Though some heirlooms are quite pro- ductive, many produce lower yields than hybrids. Also, heirloom fruits have soft- er flesh and thinner skins, making them less suited to long-term storage because they are more likely to bruise or spoil. But tender skins, plump juiciness, appe- tizing texture, and unadulterated flavor is a big part of what makes growing heir- looms so appealing for a home gardener. WHAT IS AN HEIRLOOM? A consensus as to what defines an heirloom still eludes us.

  • 2018 Summary for Knoxville Location of Tennessee Home Vegetable Trials Natalie R
    2018 Summary for Knoxville Location of Tennessee Home Vegetable Trials Natalie R. Bumgarner, Plant Sciences Department, University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture (UTIA), Knoxville, Tennessee Introduction There are many factors other than yield that contribute to success in vegetable gardens. Taste, appearance, novelty, and ease of management as well as how the cultivar fits in garden space is important. These various factors mean that trials for gardeners need to address the growing habit of crops, ease of establishment and disease resistance that contributes to ease of management, appearance, and productivity. Currently, there are many novel and/or disease resistant cultivars being introduced, but their quality for the home gardener is not well known. These preliminary single replication trials seek to assess a range of crops and cultivars for suitability and expanded trialing in Tennessee vegetable gardens. Materials and Methods Transplant Production and Crop Establishment Transplanted crops were started in bay 1 (glass greenhouse with automatic shading and mist bench) of the UT Greenhouse in open seedling trays on 10 March, 2018. At the appearance of true leaves, seedlings were transplanted to 36 count, deep cell trays. Transplanting was done on 28 March and 29 March, 2018. Prior to transplanting in the field, plants were grown in a plastic covered heated greenhouse and hardened off in a shaded cold frame or outdoors on the UT campus. Trial plots were located at the East Tennessee Research and Education Center (ETREC), Organic Crops Unit (OCU) in plot L, which is a non-certified plot that allows for the use of conventional management practices.
