  1. Wine grape and almond growers strained by skyrocketing fuel prices amid tough harvest

    This vintage, Lindy Wright is spending more time in the kitchen and less time driving the tractor through her family’s vineyards in South Australia’s Riverland.  Her cupcake-ba…

  2. For a natural boost to your snacking routine: 🌰

    Eating a handful of soaked almonds as a snack may help reduce cravings, provide healthy fats, and support weight balance. 🌰

    A nutrient-dense way to stay satisfied between meals! 🌿✨

  3. Things we got right:
    - Perfect winter cycling weather - zero wind
    - Almonds were in full bloom all along the way - spectacular!

    Things we got wrong:
    Tomorrow is Andalucia day, and apparently Chirivel (the town we cycled to) also skives off today, so no local market

    Things to make it better:
    - Nice beer and a tostada + patatas fritas at the servo
    - Found a local mini-mart so we didn't go home empty handed

  5. #CentralAsia’s #fruit and #nut #forests: the real Garden of Eden?

    Birthplaces of some of the world’s most beloved snacks

    "Millions of years ago, in the temperate montane forests of a little-known region in Central Asia, some of the world’s best-loved fruit and nut trees began to grow. #Apples, #apricots, #cherries, #plums, #grapes, #figs, #peaches, #pomegranates, #pears, #almonds, #pistachios and #walnuts all originated in the hills and valleys of the #TianShan mountain range, which stretches from #Uzbekistan in the west to #China and #Mongolia in the east.

    "The area is volcanic and geologically tumultuous, but fertile – scientists have hypothesized that in a place prone to frequent eruptions, earthquakes and landslides, shorter-lived tree species that could disperse their seeds widely by making themselves palatable to large mammals had a better shot at survival than long-lived, slow-maturing trees.

    "And that tasty survival strategy has served these species well. For residents of the region, the foods represent both security and social currency. 'From the taxi drivers to the ministers to the local people, almost everyone carries some #DriedFruit or #Nuts with them,' says Paola Agostini, a lead natural resources specialist for Europe and Central Asia at the World Bank. 'It’s like this safety net, and it’s also a lovely gift: something to share with others that is always appreciated.'

    "Central Asian marketplaces offer a cornucopia of colors, flavors, textures and varieties – many more than those most of us are accustomed to finding in our local supermarket’s produce aisle. 'I was always astonished that people in the region could so easily tell which country a particular dried apricot came from,' says Agostini. 'Their knowledge of these products is just so deep.'

    "Procuring and sharing these energy-dense treats is an ancient practice in the area. Fruit and nuts were major commodities on the Silk Road, an ancient network of trade routes that tracked through the heart of Central Asia, linking Europe, the Middle East and Asia, from the first century BC through to the mid-1400s. Over centuries of trade and travel – and lots of munching by humans, camels and horses along the way – prized fruit and nut species spread their seeds wider and wider, and new hybrid varieties were created, many of which are now supermarket and home-orchard staples, cultivated enthusiastically in temperate regions across the globe.

    "Narratives of plant domestication often tend to overstate the role of humans, but newer science suggests that 'evolution in parallel' with the plants we love is often a more accurate way of framing this process. 'It’s very unlikely that when somebody took an apple from #Kazakhstan and carried it across an entire continent, they were thinking that they could cross it with another variety and end up with something better,' says #RobertSpengler, a paleo-ethnobotanist at the Max Planck Institute in Jena, Germany. 'They were more likely just carrying the seeds to plant somewhere else. And in doing so, they inadvertently set off a chain reaction of hybridization events.'

    "According to Spengler’s research into the origins of apples, humans were not the first mammals to participate in that process of dispersal and co-evolution, either. In the late #Miocene, which spanned the period from 11.63 to 5.33 million years ago, large mammals such as #mammoths and #horses played critical roles in dispersing apple seeds and facilitating their evolutionary process into the large, sweet, flavor-rich fruits we enjoy today."

    #California farms applied millions of pounds of #PFAS to key crops, study finds

    #ForeverChemicals’ sprayed on #almonds, #grapes, #tomatoes and other crops as activists warn of ‘obvious problem’

    by Tom Perkins
    Tue 18 Nov 2025 07.00 EST

    Excerpt: "California farms applied an average of 2.5m lbs of PFAS “forever chemicals” per year on cropland from 2018 to 2023, or a total of about 15m lbs, a new review of state records shows.

    The chemicals are added to pesticides that are sprayed on crops such as almonds, pistachios, #wine grapes, #alfalfa and tomatoes, the review of California Department of Pesticide Regulation data found. The Environmental Working Group nonprofit put together the report.

    The risk for uptake of PFAS is likely higher in water-rich fruits and vegetables, because water attracts the chemicals, and research has shown PFAS may concentrate at dangerous levels in some produce. The chemicals also pollute water supplies and present a higher risk to the often low income and Latino #farmworkers."

    My son gave me a container of booze soaked almonds and raisins as you can see in the picture.
    What can I make with this? I thought fruitcake if I added some other things to it, but when would we eat it next Christmas? And I'm the only one that really likes it!

    #Trump’s Immigration #Crackdown Hits #CaliforniaFarms

    #Farmworkers hid in fields on Tuesday as word spread that ICE agents were conducting raids in California’s breadbasket, an activist said.

    By Bernard Mokam and Pooja Salhotra
    June 11, 2025, 9:08 p.m. ET

    Excerpt: " 'The #Trump administration is ramping up its immigration crackdown, with a focus on workplaces with undocumented #laborers, such as #farms, #restaurants and #construction sites. Estimates show more than eight million undocumented #immigrants work in the United States.

    "Last Friday, federal immigration agents swept through the garment district of Los Angeles, setting off protests that have rattled sections of downtown L.A. and have spread to a number of cities across the country.

    "For #farmworkers — about 42 percent of whom are undocumented, according to the Agriculture Department — the escalation in arrests has created widespread fear.

    " 'Children are terrified,' Ms. Romero said. 'They don’t want to go to school because they don’t know if their parents will be home when they come back.'

    "Local leaders have rebuked the escalation, which could bring hardship to one of California’s agricultural corridors. The #CentralValley — which grows #almonds, #grapes, #walnuts and #cherries, among other crops — produces a quarter of the nation’s food, worth an estimated $17 billion a year, according to federal data.

    " 'These actions are completely unjustified and harmful,' said Mayor Luis McArthur of Oxnard. 'They create chaos in our city without contributing much to public safety. Furthermore these actions undermine the very principles of #DueProcess.'

    "The raids this week represent the first organized immigration enforcement from the new Trump administration to hit California’s agricultural region, which covers about 40 percent of the state, Ms. Romero said. A handful of federal operations have been conducted in other rural communities in recent weeks. Last month, federal agents pulled over a bus in #AlbionN., and detained 14 immigrants who worked at a nearby farm. In April, three children and their mother were detained at an upstate New York dairy.

    "Rural migrants are particularly vulnerable to immigration enforcement because they stand out in towns that are often racially homogenous, said Will Lambek of Migrant Justice, an advocacy organization for farmworkers in #Vermont, where eight dairy workers were detained in April.

    "In California, Ms. Davalos said the agents could have made more arrests had the community been less prepared. Once a volunteer spotted officers in the area, an alert was sent through a network of support.

    "Federal agents were denied entry to at least nine farms in the Central Coast, Ms. Davalos said. Some growers parked their vehicles in front of their gates. Employees also obscured their cars.
    'We demonstrated the power of brave, nonviolent #resistance to #ICE’s tactics of #terror,' Ms. Davalos said, lamenting what she described as politically driven attempts to reach a deportation quota. 'At the end of the day, they’re seizing our family, friends, neighbors and co-workers.'

    "If federal immigration enforcement activities continue, #FoodProduction will become increasingly difficult, and food prices could rise, warned Bryan Little, senior director of policy advocacy at the California Farm Bureau."

They wanted to know if any other countries had Poutine Mobiles, Camembert Camions or Kartoffelwagens. “Keep your wiener and almonds to yourselves,” wrote one commenter.

    They are decently good. They have a little bit of flavor, just not real strong of a flavor. Good enough to taste the Snickerdoodle.

  22. We've always called it the 'Mighty Murray.' But in recent years, our most iconic river has struggled to live up to the legend. In fact, it had slowed to a feeble trickle, sucked dry by years of drought and the demands of those who rely on its bounty. Then it rained. And rained. And, rained some more. The clouds that delivered such devastating floods to much of Queensland and Victoria, had one spectacular silver lining. The entire Murray-Darling river system has come roaring back to life.

    You would think a #water reservoir in an arid state is something to protect.
    But no.
    People drained it, to grow thirsty crops like #almonds, plus #dairy cattle.

    This winter, #California got hit by more than one #AtmosphericRiver; the #snow pack is deep. That's now melting.
    The meltwater is refilling the lake. And the warm season hasn't even started yet.

  26. Tonight's #vegan dinner was a butternut squash, leek and apricot brown rice pilaff with home-roasted almonds and mandarin garnish. Flavoured with cinnamon, cardamom, bay and all spice.

    Verdict: Very tasty, took forever for brown rice to cook, needed some additional protein (maybe Quorn pieces or hefty butter beans) as I'm still feckin' hungry after it. #foodporn #veganfood #dinner #dinneridea #pilaff #almonds #squah #apricots
