Mastic Fantastic
Innovation > Retail > Mastic fantastic MASTIC FANTASTIC RETAIL There’s a new premium commodity in town, and its name is mastiha. Those of you with no ties to the Eastern Mediterranean or the Middle-East are forgiven for not knowing exactly what mastiha, or mastic gum, is. It’s a product of the mastic tree, which is mainly cultivated on Chios, a Greek island in the Aegean Sea. Small cuts are made in the bark of the tree, the sap seeps out and congeals into ‘tears’ of resin, which are harvested and cleaned by hand. The resinous result has been popular and highly valued in the region for thousands of years, and was traded from Venice to Damascus. More than just a sticky flavouring, mastiha is cherished for its antibacterial properties, used to reduce tooth plaque and treat gastric ulcers. It was once considered so precious that countries fought for the right to control its cultivation. (The ancients were very fond of mastic chewing gum.) Flash forward 20 centuries, and welcome to modern Greece, where the Chios Gum Mastic Growers Association started Mastihashop to stimulate demand for its produce. Mastiha is used in a wide variety of products, and Mastihashops carry everything from mastiha-flavoured coffee, biscuits and liqueur, to toothpaste, cosmetics and chewing gum. All well-branded and sleekly packaged. There are currently seven Mastihashops in Greece. But the cooperative-formed retailer has its eye on international expansion: both in the Middle-East, where mastiha is a familiar ingredient, and in the west, where the fragrant and exotic product has yet to catch on.

The use of saline water in irrigation affects various Accepted 21 December 2009 biochemical processes. For a number of crops, yields have been shown to decrease linearly with evapotranspiration (ET) when grown in salt-stressed environments. In the case of pomegranate, little Keywords: research has been conducted regarding the effect of salt stress. Our study focused on the responses of ET, Pomegranate crop coefficient (Kc) and growth in pomegranate irrigated with saline water. Experiments were Salt stress conducted using lysimeters with two varieties of pomegranate, P. granatum L. vars. Wonderful and SP-2.

GRADE LEVELS 4th -6th OBJECTIVES Students will: CONNECTION TO CURRICULUM Explain the general relationship Science between an element's Periodic Table Group Number and its TEACHER PREPARATION TIME 10 minutes tendency to gain or lose electron(s). LESSON TIME NEEDED Explain the difference between 45 minute Complexity: Basic molecular compounds and ionic compounds. Use a model to demonstrate sodium chloride's cubic form which results from its microscopic crystal lattice. Describe the nature of the electrostatic attraction of the oppositely charged ions that holds the structure of salt together. NATIONAL STANDARDS National Science Education Standards (NSTA) Science as Inquiry Understanding of scientific concepts Skills necessary to become independent inquirers about the natural world Physical Science Properties of objects and materials MANAGEMENT It is suggested that the “Electrolysis of Water” activity listed in the additional resources section of this lesson be performed prior to introducing this lesson to students. It can be done as a demonstration or as a full engagement activity with students. CONTENT RESEARCH Chemically, table salt consists of two elements, sodium (Na) and chloride (Cl). Neither element occurs separately and free in nature, but are found bound together as the compound sodium chloride. It occurs naturally in many parts of the world as the mineral halite and as mixed evaporites in salt lakes. Seawater contains an average of 2.6% (by weight) sodium chloride, or 78 million metric tons per cubic kilometer, an inexhaustible supply.

Tupperware Seasoning Blends
Tupperware Seasoning Blends • When stored properly, spice mixtures should last approximately 1-2 years. • Store seasoning blends in a cool, dry place away from sunlight (kitchen cabinet, pantry or drawer.) You can also extend the life of herbs, spices and seasonings by storing them in the refrigerator or freezer. • For best results, use a 4 or 8-oz. Modular Mates Spice Shaker. • Avoid storing near a window or humid area (dishwasher, stovetop or sink area). Sunlight can cause the color to fade, while heat can diminish flavor and humidity can cause clumping. • To avoid clumping, do not use a wet spoon when scooping spices or seasonings from their storage container. Also avoid sprinkling spices or seasonings directly into a steaming pot. 1 2 Seasoning Blends Recipes Apple Pie Seasoning Blend 3. Apple Pie Seasoning Blend 25.
