Calendula (English Marigold, Pot Marigold, Calendula Officinalis L.)
Calendula (English marigold, pot marigold, Calendula officinalis L.) Nancy W. Callan, Mal P. Westcott, Susan Wall-MacLane, and James B. Miller Western Agricultural Research Center Montana State University Calendula (Calendula officinalis L.) is an annual with bright yellow or orange daisy-like flowers. The flowers are harvested while in full bloom and dried for use as a medicinal or culinary herb. The entire flower heads or the petals alone are used. An industrial oil may be expressed from the seeds and an absolute oil is obtained from the flowers. Laying chickens may be fed orange calendula flowers to give the egg yolks a deep yellow color. Calendula is a fast-growing annual that is easy to cultivate. It may be direct-seeded in the field and begins to flower in about two months. Harvest of calendula is time-consuming because the flowers form over a long period of time and individual flowers mature quickly. Overmature flowers are undesirable in a herbal product. Frequent hand harvest is necessary to obtain the highest quality product, but some mechanization of harvest may be possible for a lower- grade product or for seed for industrial use. Western Agricultural Research Center Two cultivars of calendula, 'Resina' and 'Erfurter Orangefarbige,' were direct-seeded on May 15, 1998, and May 18, 1999, at 5 lb/a in six-row plots 8 ft long, with rows 18" apart and four replications. Final stand of Resina was 3.3 (1998) and 4.6 (1999) plants/ft and of Erfurter Orangefarbige was 5.5 and 3.9 plants/ft. Flower heads were plucked from the plants by hand and air-dried out of direct sunlight. -

Natural Colourants with Ancient Concept and Probable Uses

S. School, Agartala, Tripura, India. 4 Department of Human Physiology, Swami Vivekananda Mahavidyalaya, Mohanpur, Tripura, India. *Corresponding author: Biplab De, E-mail: [email protected] Received: February 20, 2017, Accepted: April 15, 2017, Published: April 15, 2017. ABSTRACT: The majority of natural colourants are of vegetable origin from plant sources –roots, berries, barks, leaves, wood and other organic sources such as fungi and lichens. In the medicinal and food products apart from active constituents there are several other ingredients present which are used for either ethical or technical reasons. Colouring agent is one of them, known as excipients. The discovery of man-made synthetic dye in the mid-19th century triggered a long decline in the large-scale market for natural dyes as practiced by the villagers and tribes. The continuous use of synthetic colours in textile and food industry has been found to be detrimental to human health, also leading to environmental degradation. Biocolours are extracted by the villagers and certain tribes from natural herbs, plants as leaves, fruits (rind or seeds), flowers (petals, stamens), bark or roots, minerals such as prussian blue, red ochre & ultramarine blue and are also of insect origin such as lac, cochineal and kermes. -

Tips for Cooking with Coriander / Cilantro Russian Green Bean Salad
Recipes Tips for Cooking with Coriander / Cilantro • Gently heat seeds in a dry pan until fragrant before crushing or grinding to enhance the flavor. • Crush seeds using a mortar and pestle or grind seeds in a spice mill or coffee grinder. • Seeds are used whole in pickling recipes. • Cilantro is best used fresh as it loses flavor when dried. • Clean cilantro bunches by swishing the leaves in water and patting dry. • For the best color, flavor and texture, add cilantro leaves towards the end of the cooking time. • The stems have flavor too, so tender stems may be chopped and added along with the leaves. • Store cilantro stem in a glass of water in the refrigerator, with a loose plastic bag over the top. Russian Green Bean Salad with Garlic, Walnuts, Basil, Cilantro and Coriander Seed ½ cup broken walnuts ¼ cup firmly packed basil leaves 2 large cloves garlic, peeled and each cut into ¼ cup firmly packed cilantro leaves and several pieces tender stems 4 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil 1 pound fresh green beans, stems removed 2 Tbsp white wine vinegar and steamed until crisp – tender and cooled 1 Tbsp lemon juice in ice water 1 Tbsp water ½ cup thinly sliced green onions 1 tsp ground coriander seed ½ cup thinly sliced radishes ⅛ to ¼ tsp hot pepper sauce such as Tabasco Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 2 Tbsp firmly packed parsley leaves and tender stems To prepare dressing, place walnuts and garlic in food processor fitted with knife blade; chop, using pulse control, until evenly fine.

It is only recently (the first artificial dye was invented in 1857) that the textile industry has turned to synthetic dyes. Today, many craftspeople are rediscovering the joy of achieving colour through the use of renewable, non-toxic, natural sources. Natural dyes are inviting and satisfying to use. Most are familiar substances that will spark creative ideas and widen your view of the world. Try experimenting. Colour can be coaxed from many different sources. Once the cloth or fibre is prepared for dyeing it will soak up the colour, yielding a range of results from deep jew- el-like tones to dusky heathers and pastels. -
