    "#GeorgiaUSA is famous for its #peaches, #pecans and #peanuts, but thanks to its mild climate, the state also supports a variety of uncommon and exotic fruits and nuts.

    "In a series inspired by University of Georgia #CooperativeExtension publication 'Minor Fruits and Nuts in Georgia,' edited by UGA Extension consumer horticulturist Bob Westerfield, we’ll highlight lesser-known edibles that can thrive in Georgia home gardens.

    "This issue's focus is black walnut, a large nut tree native to Georgia and many parts of the eastern United States.

    "Historically, the black walnut was a crucial tree for Native Americans, particularly the Cherokee, Delaware and Apache tribes. Indigenous people used various parts of the tree in their daily lives as a key ingredient in breads, soups and puddings. Parts of the bark and leaves repelled bugs and treated snake bites, sores, toothaches and other ailments."

  6. After over 130 yrs of providing food to America, ranging from #Pineapples to #Pears to #Peaches to #PetFoods, modern marketing #mismanagement puts #California cannery #DelMonte into big #Bankruptcy blaming "borrowing" binge that led to billions in 21st century debt.

    Current company HQ claims they secured another nearly $100m in #loans to keep operating as they seek a buyer.

    Once one of the great west coast companies, "Del Monte Plant No. 1" built in post earthquake #SanFrancisco was heralded as the largest #fruit and #vegetable cannery in the world, employing 2,500 people and producing 200,000 cans of Del Monte brand food per day.

    Later, it became a subsidiary of RJ Reynolds tobacco, and owner of #SunKist oranges & #StarKist tuna. In 2006, Del Monte became the second largest pet foods corp by purchasing Meow Mix & Milk Bone brands, but since then, HQ moved to suburban Walnut Creek CA and many of the Del Monte operations & brands have been thinned out and sold off. In 2025 brands still include #Contadina, College Inn #soups, and since 2001, a similar subsidiary 100+ yr old #canning brand called S & W and a more recent foray into burgeoning bubble teas.
