At that time the nursery grew a very different range of crops, ranging from soft fruit, apples, plums and pears, to onions, leeks and all the usual vegetables of the time. He also kept cows and horses to use on the smallholding. The nursery was as is now a spread of over 22acres. The next generation, also called William Robinson, started to improve the size of onions and leeks in particular. This was done as it is still done today by selection. Only the best specimens were allowed to seed. He started to exhibit the results in the local Flower Shows of the time, winning many prizes. Soon other exhibitors wanted to grow the strain and the vegetable business as we know it was born. He called all his large varieties of vegetable by the prefix Mammoth, as we still do today.

  • Mollie Newman Tyramine Is a Cause of Migraine Headaches
    Running Head: TYRAMINE CAUSE OF MIGRAINES 1 Tyramine is a Cause of Migraine Headaches CAP 501 Graduate Capstone Mollie Newman American College of Healthcare Sciences Instructor: Cindy Fouhy Running Head: TYRAMINE CAUSE OF MIGRAINES 2 Abstract Tyramine is a cause of migraine headaches. Migraine headaches are an extraordinarily common disease that affects 38 million men, women and children in the United States. Almost everyone either knows someone who has suffered from migraine headaches, or has struggled with migraine headaches themselves. Saper (2015) states…nearly half of all migraine sufferers are never diagnosed. Tyramine is a naturally occurring compound, found in a variety of foods and beverages, and has been found to be a migraine trigger. Tyramine is not a food additive. This compound is organically produced when the amino acid tyrosine breaks down, which can happen when foods are preserved, fermented, or aged for a long time (Sun-Edelstein & Mauskop 2009). Riboflavin-5-Phosphate (R5P) can be supplemented to help break down tyramine in the body, for those who suffer from migraine headaches. In addition to adding in tyramine foods slowly, supplementing R5P, it is recommended to keep a food journal along with headache journal as a tool for migraine sufferers. As an action piece to this project, publishing a book, It’s a Lifestyle…The Link Between Tyramine and Migraine Headaches, giving people a guide to live migraine headache free. Keywords: tyramine, migraine headaches, riboflavin-5-phosphate (R5P) Running Head: TYRAMINE CAUSE OF MIGRAINES 3 Tyramine is a Cause of Migraine Headaches Migraine headaches are a disorder characterized by repeated attacks of severe headaches.

  • Get to Know: Gem Squash
    Get to know: Gem Squash Gem squash, Cucurbita pepo var. pepo, is a type of summer squash which was domesticated from two wild varieties; Cucurbita texana found in the southern and central United States and Cucurbita fraterna found in Mexico. It is edible at all stages of its growth. Early gems are the size of golf balls, and the skin and seeds are edible, as is the flesh. As this vegetable matures, the skin hardens to protect the flesh within. Nutrition One cup (100g) of gem squash has 25 calories, 5.9g of carbohydrates, 0.3g of fibre, and 1.75g of protein. With 28 calories per 1-cup raw serving, gem squash can easily be added to your plate, without costing you too many calories. If you're trying to control your calorie intake to lose or maintain a healthy weight, veg like gem squash make a good choice. Fun Facts Gem squash, or ‘skorsies’, are particularly well-liked by South Africans, but are not commonly found among squash varieties sold in the rest of the world. The saved seeds of gem squash ancestor stock are among the oldest evidence of agriculture found in the Americas, dating back over 10 000 years. In the ‘do not try this at home’ category, if one cooks a gem squash (without first poking holes into its centre) in the microwave at high power, it will explode and very likely take the microwave with it. Health Benefits Gem squash is low in Saturated Fat and Sodium, and very low in Cholesterol. It is also a good source of Protein, Vitamin A, Thiamin, Niacin, Phosphorus and Copper, and a very good source of Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Riboflavin, Vitamin B6, Folate, Magnesium, Potassium and Manganese.

  • Get to Know: Pumpkin
    Get to know: Pumpkin A pumpkin is a type of winter squash of the genus Cucurbita that is round with smooth, slightly ribbed skin. Pumpkins are most commonly deep yellow or orange in colour, but many other colour variations exist, including white and green. Pumpkins, like other squash, originated in North America. Pumpkin seeds dating to as early as 7 000 BC have been found in Mexico. Nearly every part of the pumpkin is edible, from the seeds to the skin to the flowers. Nutrition One cup (245g) of cooked pumpkin has 49 calories, 12g of carbohydrates, 3g of fibre, and 2g of protein. The 3g of fibre per serving is ideal to keep you feeling full while consuming less calories. A fibre rich diet has been shown to lead to people consuming less calories, so fibre rich foods such as pumpkin are perfect for those trying to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. Fun Facts The largest pumpkins ever recorded weigh over 1 000kg. In comparison, typical pumpkins range from 2.7 to 8.2kg. Pumpkin chucking or “Punkin Chunkin” is a popular competition in certain areas of the United States where pumpkins are grown. Competitors try to propel a pumpkin farther than their rivals using mechanical devices such as slingshots, catapults, trebuchets, and air cannons. The World Championship Punkin Chunkin (WCPC) is the biggest such competition, attracting dozens of teams, tens of thousands of spectators, and national TV coverage. The WCPC record is held by a team which used an air cannon to propel their pumpkin 1,431 meters in 2013.

  • National Tested Seeds Guide to the Production of Cucurbits
    National Tested Seeds Guide to the Production of Cucurbits 2 | P a g e INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY OF PUMPKIN AND SQUASH Pumpkins, squashes and melons belong to the family Cucurbitaceae and are therefore related to calabash marrow, calabashes and cucumbers. Pumpkins and squashes probably originated in North or South America from where they spread to Europe and other parts of the world. Jan van Riebeeck imported pumpkin seed from Brazil and this crop was therefore cultivated as a vegetable in the Cape long before the start of the Great Trek. In all members of the family Cucurbitaceae are mostly unisexual and the plants monoecious (male and female flowers are separate but are borne on the same plant). Under certain climatic conditions both male and female and sometimes androgynous (male and female parts in one flower) flowers as well, can be found on the same plant. PLANT DESCRIPTION Cucurbits are warm-season, herbaceous annuals. The growth habit of individual plants may either be determinate (shoot tip ends in a flower) with a bushy growth habit, or indeterminate (shoot tips grow continuously with flowers in leaf axils) with a prostrate and spreading growth habit. Leaves are borne singly and may be simple or lobed. Tendrils are found in the leaf axils on all species except some species in the genus Cucurbita. All plants in the Cucurbit family have extensive, shallow root systems. Tap roots of the Cucumis genus (cucumber and melon) can grow up to 100 cm deep. Tap roots of the Cucrbit genus (pumpkins and squash) can grow up to 200 cm deep in search of water.
