Fruit trees in the garden pruning and bend of plum trees (stone fruit)

Plums are among the stone fruits. Plum Trees questions generally low maintenance and are relatively easy to grow and prune. Usually, the plum trees with a more limited pruning. By pruning plum trees will give you a better tree, less fruit and fewer branches that break. The fruit can grow better and tastier flavors by pruning. Some plum varieties can be pruned as little better because they can die from severe pruning. Pruning in winter is generally not recommended for stone fruit. Prune in summer a dry day so the wounds can quickly dry up.


Plants of sweet cherries (Prunus avium)Plums are among the stone fruits. Plum Trees questions generally low maintenance and are relatively easy to grow and prune. Usually, the plum trees with a more limited pruning. By pruning plum trees will give you a better tree, less fruit and fewer branches that break. The fruit can grow better and tastier flavors by pruning. Some plum varieties can be pruned as little better because they can die from severe pruning. Pruning in winter is generally not recommended for stone fruit. Prune in summer a dry day so the wounds can quickly dry up.Naming plum - Prunus domestica:- The ordinary European plum has the scientific name: Prunus domesticaThe plums are like cherries, cherry, peach, nectarine and apricot to the group of stone fruit (Prunus species).

 Meaning of scientific name: Prunus domestica insititia- Prunus: From prune (Gr.), cherries and plums, plum tree. Several stone fruits.- Domestica: From domus (L = house, home, native). Domesticated or cultivated plant. Is common in culture.- Insititia: From to (= L. in, on) and situs (L = places) used for grafting, rootstock. Lower part of a grafted plum tree that bears roots.- Cerasifera: From cerasus (L. = cherry) and ferre (= bear), bearing cherry.Read more about the origin and explanation of Greek and Latin plant names: "ABC of Latin plant. The use of botanical names"

Plant Family: Rosaceae or Rose family.Rootstock: Prunus domestica insititia 'Saint Julien A', Prunus domestica 'Brompton, Prunus domestica cerasiferaKnowledge of scientific plant family name is useful because some fungal diseases (bloesemmonilia, galena fungus) also in the closely related stone fruits may occur.Fruit trees pruning: Prune plum trees in winter!Pruning Time:

Pruning plum trees may only occur between mid-April and mid-September. Often after picking plums in August the necessary pruning. Prune plum trees and stone fruit Never in wintertime!
Choose a warm, dry days for the pruning so that the pruning wounds quickly dry up.

 

 

 

 

Bend of branches to prune fruit quicker to have:

A total of 4-5 system branches to the trunk in a position of 65-80 ° to the stem stand (Just above the horizontal). The older the plum trees, the more the leaders may drop slightly, but remain preferably just above the horizontal.

The fruiting wood in the trunk, branches above that 4-5 frame should have a horizontal position.

 

 

 Photo: When should bend the rope lace up. Have a large loop around the branch holds.
Prune trees prune many or few?




A plum tree that bears little or no fruit, does not bear fruit by pruning! Even the opposite! Pruning promotes vegetative growth and thus get (slightly) less fruit.

Pruning up to 1 / 3 of the branches. Try to pruning neglected trees over three years to distribute.

      Plum trees should not be pruned much! Compared with apples and pears to plums with a lot less further pruning.

      Prune if possible, or even as little as possible. Some plum varieties such as 'Reine Victoria' (= 'Queen Victoria') tolerate pruning well and not die easily.

      A neglected plum trees it is better not to drastic pruning, but pruning spread over 2-3 years. (Up to 1 / 3 cut). Too drastic pruning is sometimes badly ....

      Gestel branches bend almost horizontally is better than pruning. Choose a warm day for this bend, otherwise more takbreuk occur. Bend reduces local growth curves branch out and obliged to give more fruit.

       Cut a large branch off better than many small branches to prune away.


How strong plum twigs treated?

      Growing Strong rugtwijgen can break away as early as possible. That might happen if they are still herbaceous, the first year of growth.

      Growing Strong zijtwijgen that aside from the leaders, it is best to grow horizontally bend. The horizontal bend reduces the strong growth and more flowers buds are produced.

      Growing strong twigs to the trunk to grow and grow straight up it is best to remove. Let the takkraag (about 2-5 cm), so that a new shoot below which may arise naturally grows horizontally.

      Extensions of frame branches bend slightly so it is best to grow almost horizontally. (65-85 ° angle from the central leader t.o.v. / strain). In young plum trees, the position 65 °.

      Strong branches that are at the bottom of the stem of the rootstock and game storage is best to completely remove. Do this regularly so that the pruning wounds as small as possible.


Fruit trees pruning. How to remove the prunes pruning?

      Storage of the wild rootstock

      Broken and dead branches

      Too thick branches at the top of the trunk or central leader.

      Branches that bend at the outbreak can best be pruned away. Mainly steeply growing branches break off easily. Do not include a small takstomp of 3-15cm stand.

      crossing branches

      Vertical growing rugtwijgen remove that too much light.

      Branches growing straight up the trunk. This too sharp implanted top of the tree branches, seem half cup or stem to form.

      Too long and hanging fruit wood

      Too low hanging branches on the tree

      A branch that is affected by the fungal disease galena. Perhaps it is good for the life of your tree a little stretch.

      Trees that were fruiting bodies (mushrooms) show the galena fungus it is best to completely clean! They are a major source of infection for other trees! Let the prunings are not in the area, but destroy it!

      Also remove dried or moldy fruit, they are an important source of infection for the next harvest.

      Use sharp pruning material so pruning wounds are so small and clean as possible.

      Pruning is not too close to the main branch. The takkraag should be preserved wherever possible, for proper wound healing.

      Small pruning wounds should not be smeared

      Large (saw) to be recommended for wounds to rub with a wound healing agent for infection of the galena prevent fungus.

      Disinfect your pruning equipment, when you suspect a plum tree (loodglanschimmel) have been cut.

 

 

 

Fruit trees in the garden: mirabelles are self-pollinating and require little maintenance!

Mirabelles are easy and healthy trees in the orchard. By the numerous white flowers in April-May this stone fruit suitable for the ornamental garden. Mirabelle are self-pollinating and do not require cross pollination. They grow well on poor soils, provided they are not too wet. Fruit thinning may, but is usually not necessary. Mirabelle are usually ripe in August, but there are earlier and later ripening mutants or hybrids. Mirabelvruchten are smaller, rounder and sweeter than regular plums. The most recommended are mirabelrassen "Bella Mira", "Nancy-Mirabel ',' Mirakose 'and' Mira Grande.

Origin, naming and plum root stocks:


  The mirabelles, kroosjespruimen, wichters or Damson (Prunus domestica insititia) originated in the Middle East (Syria) and around 1600 in Central European countries. They are very closely related to the ordinary European plum (Prunus domestica). The well-known plum rootstocks' St. Juliën A 'and' Pixy 'also belong to the kroosjespruimen.
Etymological sense of Prunus domestica insititia:

Prunus: ancient Latin name of plants with reference to the cherries and plums, plum tree. All stone fruits nominate genus Prunus.
domestica: means domestic, indigenous, (cultivated) (Latin domus = house)
insititia: to inoculate used (root)

Taxonomic classification of the plum or kroosjespruimen:

Empire (Regnum): Plantae (Plants)
Stam (Phyllum): Magnoliophyta (angiosperms)
Class (Classic): Magnoliopsida (dicots)
Order (Ordo): Rosales
Family (Familia): Rosaceae (Rose family)
Under Family (Subfamilia): Prunoideae (or prune stone fruit)
Gender: Prunus
Indicator species (species): domestica
Subspecies (subspecies) insititia
Botanical characteristics of plum and kroosjespruimen:

Usually a moderately strong growth, moderately large trees that are fertile and healthy. Much zijhout developed at medium heavy system branches.
By the dense tree growth is affecting red spider (spider mites) possible.






See also "Fruit ABC pruning calendar"

Usually they budded or grafted on plum rootstocks ordinary 'St. Julien A 'and tall for the rapidly growing rootstock' Brompton '. Strains are high at about 2 meters above the ground seeded, half logs are inoculated at about 1.25 meters and low bushes and logs are from 0.20 to 0.40 meters above the ground grafted.

Root suckers can be planted separately, as mirabelle (and wichters) are also on their own roots to grow.

Most are yellow mirabelle, but there are also some red and blue types.

They are small, round, sweet fruit. Mirabelle have remarkably dry and sweet flesh. This makes them particularly suitable for processing (stewing, jam / marmalade, canning and freezing). For fresh consumption mirabelle useful.

Flowering and pollination in mirabelles:

Numerous white flowers adorn late spring (April-May) the trees, making it suitable for the ornamental garden.
Most are self Mirabelle (S), but cross-pollination by another equal pruimenras is thriving even more fruits. Suitable late blooming pollinators include "Belle de Louvain ',' Altesse Simple," "Monsieur Hâtif ',' Reine Claude d'or at least ',' Reine Claude Crottee ',' Reine Claude d'Oullins' and 'Victoria'.

Pitch for mirabelle plums:

Mirabelles make fewer demands on the ground than regular plums. They also grow on poor soils, provided they are not too wet.


Harvest and use of mirabelles:

The fruit production is usually very large, so that branches can break.
The inner fruit quality is usually less than the normal plum.
Because the fruits are usually shed caused numerous minor injuries, so storage and transport difficult. For fresh fruit consumption can not usually buy.
Mirabelle is particularly suitable for freezing, canning (canning) and for processing into jam or marmalade.


   

Fruit trees in medium and large gardens: planting of walnut trees

Overview walnuts tips:

Walnuts / walnuts fit well in medium and large gardens. Choose a healthy, vaccinated and walnotenras plant in a moist soil, you can pick up notes after three years already. Walnut Seedlings are very large, are fertile late (after 10 years) and are sometimes prone to nasty fungal diseases. Limited pruning best done in September and not in the winter. Walnuts are rich in protein and unsaturated fat, source of vitamin B, vitamin E and folic acid. Recommended varieties include walnut Juglans regia 'Axel', 'Broadview', 'Buccaneer', Coenen, Drjanovski, Hansen, Nr. 16, Plovdivski, Proslavski, R


Walnuts botany and useful features:- Ordinary walnuts (walnuts), whose scientific name Juglans regia, belong to the family Juglandaceae. In Esperanto, the juglandoThe genus name Juglans comes from Jovis composition-gloss, head of Jupiter (Zeus), dedicated to Zeus tree after a wedding when the bride entered the bedroom, threw the ancient Greeks nuts among the guests, that Zeus would make marriage fruitful .The species designation means regia royal and is derived from the Latin rex (= king).- Note boots fit very well in our environment. Flies and mosquitoes are in the vicinity of the tree banned. (Very useful in the stables of animals!) They give lots of shade, and are well suited to sit in when the temperatures in summer high. Aphids are rare on the tree.- Regarding health, it is usually easy fruit trees. Most new walnut varieties are little or not susceptible to disease.Older varieties may be susceptible to fire blight and fire spotty nature (leaf spot). Insects / mites need not be sprayed.Normally they require no plant protection products (pesticides).- Walnuts usually fit in small gardens. They should be planted wide apart. An exception is the weak-growing resume. "Hansen".- Nuts fit well in our current diet. In autumn you can collect the nuts, to dry off and eat. They are particularly rich in proteins and are therefore very useful for people who do not wish to eat meat (vegetarians).Nuts are a healthy treat most people, which they use for several months. Juglans regia: walnut, walnut
- Among the Walnuts, there are several plants which are not able / want to grow. The roots of Juglans could contain toxic substances, the growth of other plants can disturb. In which the leaves are not toxic, so they certainly take on the compost heap can be done.Tips in the planting of nut trees - walnuts common / walnut.- The recommended planting distance is 7.5 (6) x 8 m (or 9 x 10 m). This distance is dependent on the soil and of the race. Seedlings usually charge a very large distance.
- In general, grafted varieties strongly recommended. These may already after 3 years the first notes indicate. Seedlings show sometimes after 10-12 years the first notes. Inoculated with races you can be sure of their properties (disease susceptibility, fruit quality, scale, quality, nut width, ...). With seedlings this is a big question mark because the typical racial characteristics often lost.
- Preferably one species / cultivars that take very little disease prone. For older breeds nuts sometimes there are problems with bacterial fire, fire and patchy nature of the quality scale. Bacteria in a fire, the contents of the notes completely rotten.
- A tree pole is necessary for the grafted walnut trees. (2.5 m long and 6 cm thick)
- Preferably one plant in the fall (October-November) or spring (March-April)
- No plant nut trees on wet or dry soil. The best rooting depth is 1 meter. The pH (acidity) of the soil is best between 6.5 to 7
- Cross-pollination is usually recommended. So your best to plant two different nut trees which bloom right. A very good (self) pollinator is 'Buccaneer'. "Broadview" alone sometimes gives good results.If you really want only one nut tree / plant is then the races 'Amphyon', 'Buccaneer' and 'Chiara' the best solution. Both varieties are self-pollinating.
- Nuts are a loose, weed-free and warm soil. The graft will be best to just above ground plants. Also stemmed notes (grafted) always have a support post required!
- In low-lying land which are sensitive to late spring frost (frost pockets), there is some chance that the young shoots and flowers afvriezen. Preferably, they are not nuts / walnuts plants. If you still want to do that than to go down ahead late varieties in the spring. vb. "Drjanovski ',' Hansen 'and' Red Donaunuss.
- No fertilizer in plantput do. This can root combustion.
- Walnut Trees in pots usually regrow better than bare root plants.



Pruning nut trees / walnuts
- The best pruning time is between May, June and September. It can also happen just after the walnut harvest. See also "Fruit pruning calendar".
For walnut trees in the Netherlands suggest some pruning of specialists only in June to cut, so the bleeding (profuse loss of juice) is avoided.

- Pruning Tips: Little or no pruning. The stem length is minimal and better 1m30 1.80 to 2 meters. Only broken branches and twigs to remove abrasive.


Fungal diseases in regular walnuts (walnuts)
Brown-black spots on the leaves of walnut trees
Leaf and fruit diseases of walnut stain / walnuts may include two causes:
1) Fire Bacteria - Bacterial blight:
Xanthomonas campestris pv. juglandis (Pierce) Dye
Pseudomonas (Xanthomonas) juglandis.
The leaves of walnut / walnut are small brown spots, leaf fall in serious damage. On their hulls wet black rotten spots occur. In early summer infection by the bacteria penetrate the shell so that the nut rot and fresh glue (= wet rot).

A too large donation nutrients could cause more Xantomonas in some breeds. (Better a little more poor soil)
Chemical control: copper oxychloride (50 g per 10 liters of water). Shortly before flowering and at the appearance of the young nuts. In the spring, so 2 - to 3-fold spraying.

Insensitive / tolerant varieties are nuts, 'Broadview', ....
Sensitive species notes: "Axel", "Belnoot" and several other older varieties.

In young walnut trees that grow strongly, the shoots may be affected. One sees then brown, sunken spots with some slime growth, surrounded by an oily edge. If this occurs on or koptak gesteltak, it can be better to delete and start a new branch. Warm and humid weather increases the chance of an attack. This disease may also be transmitted by pollen.


2) Brandvlekkerigheid/ bladvlekkenziekte of Antharacnose bij Juglans
- Gnomonia leptostyla (con. v. Marssonia juglandis).
Gnomonia leptostyla (Fr.:Fr.) Ces. & De Not. (anamorph: Marssonina juglandis (Lib.) Magnus)
Zowel op de bladbovenzijde als op de onderzijde vrij grote hoekige vlekken. Ziek notenblad vergeelt en valt af Juglans regia-gewone walnoot: bladvalziekte

Op de scheuten en bolsters ietwat ingezonken scherpbegrensde bruine vlekken. De noot zelf kan ook soms bruin worden en verdrogen (= droogrot). Nat lenteweer bevordert de infectie; deze gaat uit van zieke afgestorven bladeren die in de nabijheid van de bomen blijven liggen.

Bestrijding: Preventief bestrijding met koperoxychloride.
Koperoxychloride (50 gram per 10 liter water) in de voorzomer 2- tot 3-maal spuiten.
Let op! Gebruik geen koperhoudende producten waar schapen grazen!

Minder gevoelige/ tolerante notenrassen zijn: 'Broadview', ...
Gevoelige notenrassen: 'Axel' (= vuistnoot), ('Fey's Spezial'), 'Bel'

Significance of scientific plant names. Scientific names have a meaning and are universal (all used).

Plant nomenclature is an international scientific naming of plants and plant groups. (= Taken name, Calar = vomiting).
In ancient times named one plant with a family name that was descriptive and for this long and used the Latin and Greek. Theophrastus (4th century BC.) Organizes plants according striking morphological features. Disappeared after the use of Greek names for plants and was used more Latin.
In the Middle Ages is the arrangement of plants according to the medicinal properties of plants (herbals) and religious use scientific names in Latin. (From the year 500 to 1500 AD).
The Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) was the founder of the current naming of plants and in 1753 gave an important book, namely the "Species Plantarum". Each plant will play a two-part name consisting of a genus and a species designation.
The priority principle ensures that each plant had only one correct and valid scientific names may possess and this is the first legal name after 1753 always prevail. Other scientific names for plants than the one synonymous names.
Important advantages of using scientific names are:
- Only one name for a plant species. It prevents misunderstandings.
- Universal botanists and professionals from all over the world to use.
- Mutual relationship is easy to see. Example, Prunus domestica (plum), Prunus persica (peach), Prunus armeniaca (apricot), Prunus triloba (almond tree) and Prunus dulcis (almond) all belong to the genus Prunus (stone fruits =). All stone fruits belong to the same plant family. See "Fruits and plant family (A-M)"
- Point to a feature often, such as medicinal, edible, color, aroma and use. See significance of scientific (genus) names and generic names. See also explanatory dictionary of plants: ABC of Latin plant. Meaning of botanical plant names. Forgotten history or vegetables are back!
- Telling sometimes something of the origin, such as = sibirica from Siberia come
- It's easy to additional information via the Internet and a plant catalog to search.

gooseberries grow

Gooseberries grow, kinds, fruit, fertilization, pruning, planting, propagation, diseasesGooseberry: Ribes uva-crispa L.Types: There are over 150 known species.Increasingly, there is only offered mildew tolerant species.These are eg.: Abundance, Black Velvet, Captivator, Germania, Glendale, Green Sheet, Hinnonmaen, Keltainen, Houghton, Invicta *, Jahn's Prariebes, Josselyn, Jubilee, Captain, Karpaty, Korsun, Izvienickij, Krosien, Lepan Punainen, Mark, Martlet , Mc.Ginnis, MG2, MG3, MG4, Mercur Ines, Oregon, Pankiw, Remarka *, Resistenta, Reverta, Rexrot, Risulfa, Rixanta, Robustenta, Rochus, Red Eve, Roi, Rokula, Rolonda *, Sabine, Sebastian, Selby, Shefford, Siewka, Free Spin, Sutton, Thoreson, Welcome, Worcester.* = These species provide the biggest benefits.Origin: especially in North Africa and Europe, Central and South America, ...Flowering and pollination:- The Gooseberry is a hermaphroditic or monoecious and is pollinated by insects.- Cross-pollination can not do it. (According to Variety).- The flowers have a slightly green in color and have 4 to 5 fused sepals or calyx.- And 4-5 fused petals, or petals.- 4 to 5 Stamina (stamens).- Flowering is early spring (sometimes performs on frost damage). ---> - Possibly. opt for late bloomers.Fruit:Mixed controls provide only 1 or 2 berries that ripen to yellow, green, red and sometimes purple in color.Taste depends on the species. Maturity from about 15 June to mid September. Unripe fruits can be processed into jam.Fruits are high in pectin, and this was therefore planted. The best types are: Industry and White Smith.Location:The Gooseberry under a large tree can be planted in partial shade as well. Sometimes there is a growing consideration under plastic covers.There may be small hedges or borders are filled with. Sunny locations are also perfectly, and give a little earlier or ripe fruits.Tip: for a staggered harvest a plant in full sun and a plant in partial shade. (Distribution is then up to 3 weeks)Moist sunny places can not easily lead to mildew. (If this were not resistant).To sunlight can cause sunburn. (Breed).Fertilization:They are quick growers who thrive on almost all types of soils.Preferences are with soil enriched with plenty of humus.Slow-acting organic fertilizer to give their food slowly and the plant will benefit the soil structure.As a soil conditioner, you may well rotted manure or compost use.Apply the compost or manure to continue in the spring.Weed suppressing compost works and provides a good moisture in the soil.Calculation of good fruits at 14 grams. Potassium per square meter. ---> Ordinary compost cover these deficits.Wood ash can and contains about 33% calcium, 10 Potash, Magnesium 5%. Please note the large presence of calcium, this should be considered at the next scale donation.Mulching:Mulching can but still keep a distance from the trunk to avoid disease.Hoeing should be carefully done because the roots are immediately to the surface.Pruning:In younger shrubs are pruned back a strong effect. ie.: trim back to 10 cm. always with an eye outward.The year that follows it are soon strong branches, which we left with the four best. (Rest pruning).Provide a note that the branches 25 to 35 cm. stand apart. This provides much air and light between the branches.You know: benefits, only for wood that formed the previous year and older wood. It is important to always get refreshed young wood. Branches or spores "bones" that hardly grow.Fruit thinning is done automatically by winter pruning.Storage root pruning to keep coming back to the root.Drooping branches are pruned with an eye upward, so that hanging fruit hangs against the ground.Lots of water or upright shoots that provide little useful buttons are pruned away anyway.Provide year by year, enough space between the branches, in order to ensure a smooth harvest. The mold gives the best chance to develop.Ribes odoratumOnderstam: there are real roots and refined kinds of species offered.

Provide plenty of compost and well rotted manure in the plantput. Plant not too deep, this will only suckers or root storage.Possible forms: shrub, cord (Gordon) or at small strain (about 15 cm).Neglected in plants: two cutting operations about two years:

    1st year ---> - remove dead branches. - Long branches (eg hanging to the ground.) Shorten to 30 cm. - Keep up to about 5 branches, so that can be an easy pick.
   
    Next winter, new shoots formed to replace older branches. ---> Also make regular pruning.Multiply:Prunings can always be used for cuttings.Gooseberries of American origin to be easier than other types of cuttings.Late August to September is best suited for cuttings.A summer cutting is a twig about 20 cm with about 5 eyes and at least a thickness of 5mm.

    Remove all eyes on the last 2 post.
    Leave only two leaves on the stalk standing (to remove residual).

Week of fruit and vegetables

Become Flandrien with tasty vegetables
Our country is absolutely under the spell of the spring classics. The starting signal is given, the riders, cycling fans experienced the glory days. Everyone grabs a bike and young and old stabbing a mile.In the sector of fruit and vegetables, people under the spell of the spring classics. The Week of Fruits and Vegetables (21 to 27 March 2011) will be launched for spring and summer days that are full of blushing fruit and crunchy vegetables. The first months were used. A new season beckons. And everyone, young and old, benefit from the freshest offer to you later, "a masterpiece" to stabbing.For fresh fruits and vegetables: that's just energy for the real Flandrien!
Fresh fruit and vegetables: that's just energy

Fresh fruit and vegetables: that's just energyWeek of March 21 to 27 Fruits and Vegetables Fruits and Vegetables: More is better!
The campaign has not won its spurs. The entire fruit and vegetable sector began in 2008 with the campaign "All Day Long", led by FLAME, so consumers 'temptation' to a higher consumption of fruits and vegetables. The campaign runs for three years (end August 2011).
Week Fruit and Vegetable at the beginning of spring is an important part. An excellent timing, moreover, the first vegetables that are then in full swing. The start of the outdoor season, the many initiatives start-to-run to run, and, recently, the attention from the Flemish Government for healthy food in the context of the fight against obesity and diabetes, ... make fruits and vegetables obviously are in the spotlight.Target audience is mainly the young ones: and that means that young parents, schools, businesses and associations hot spots in the campaign.
A study showed that the campaign not only understood but also successful. The figures of consumption were significantly increased: 35% of respondents bought more fruits and vegetables and during the last 12 months increased the volume purchased fruit and vegetables by up to 26% with respect to the reference year 2006.Kim Gevaert was the figurehead of the campaign: a young and athletic image, a young mother and little known to anyone with a heart for the sport.And even doctors know that people encourage healthy eating is not the "imposition" of a diet, but by intrinsic motivation, their own choice. It is therefore extremely important from childhood to create fun with fruits and vegetables! Nutrition education is 90% motivation and 10% information. So right about 'All Day Long "!
The Prima Vera of firsts!
A new spring, a new sound. You could say if you just put the teeth in a young root, so your fingers. Slowly comes the first season started: the notes of a promising spring and a healthy active summer.The conservatory asparagus, radish flowers, lettuce and young carrots, scallions, hop sprouts, peppers, baby spinach and cucumber ... make it fun to bid farewell to winter. Colorful vitamins and minerals on the board provide a welcome culinary variety. An aperitif in style with spring carrots and cucumber sticks in a dip, a cocktail of juices including tomato, cucumber, carrot, celery and spring onion ... and suddenly life is different.
A perfect way to take advantage of our biorhythm that with the increase of the light is still active. Action means good nutrition and energy demands. So it sought to supply the necessary vitamins, minerals and fiber without the caloric intake drastically increase. This is tailor made for the first many vegetables that initially the shelves and then - with big smile - the vegetable drawer of our refrigerator storage or filling.
And the first thing about vegetables is that a 'first' is. The first tasting. Because soon followed, and much more ...
What science is telling ...
Eating fruit and vegetables not only gives us a huge chunk of our daily nutritional needs but they are also a good investment for health. It is recommended daily 300 g of vegetables and 2-3 servings of fruit to eat.
More and more studies show that a sufficiently high intake of fruits and vegetables reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease decreased. Eat enough vegetables and fruit also makes a positive contribution to the prevention of other health problems such as obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis and constipation.
An increase in fruit and vegetable consumption of 200 g per day lowers overall cancer risk by 4%. On some forms of cancer have vegetables and / or fruit significantly more effective than others. Variation remains the message. There are so many delicious fruits and vegetables that would be a shame not all agree to taste.Fruit and vegetables are rich in essential nutrients which today often prevent deficiencies (eg vitamin C, folate, potassium, dietary fiber). The best remedy to combat shortages and chronic diseases is not resorting to supplements but balanced and varied diet, according to the guidelines of the active food. That means more fruits and vegetables and plenty of variations within the wide range.
