Everyone is talking about the rising oil prices due to the Iran War, but very few are discussing the increasing price of pistachio ice cream. Did you know Iran is the world’s largest producer of pistachios? https://archive.is/wY7Eq #uspol #iran #nuts #pistachios #agriculture #trade #icecream

#CentralAsia’s #fruit and #nut #forests: the real Garden of Eden?
Birthplaces of some of the world’s most beloved snacks
by Monica Evans
17 December 2020"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."

CW: Rambling about possible weight loss and factors
It seems possible that I've lost one or two pounds recently. I had a stable weight plateau that might be shifting downward now. There were some recent changes intended to bring that about, and also some confounding factors:
-- a diluted tablespoon of cider vinegar every morning; even diluted it's so offensive to me - malic acid? - that I can barely finish the cup, but allegedly it aided weight loss in children. Being an adult, do I need to change the dose?
-- a handful of pistachios every day
-- a little extra fiber, in the form of sandiches with "keto" bread and alfalfa or other sprouts
-- a half dozen dark chocolate milkshakes in the last couple weeks, LARGE ones that use half a bucket of Breyer's Natural Vanilla (that isn't so natural since Unilever got its mitts on the company and added gum to it). Did I gain benefit from the dark chocolate in spite of the calorie excess, as recounted by someone else?
https://autistics.life/@SilverArrows/115015155746772528-- deep depression for some weeks that often results in me sleeping most of the day, avoiding even my usual distractions.
That's a lot of confounding factors and the loss is yet small, so a pattern is not yet obvious.

In case someone else wondered: The weight ratio of pistachios is approximately 54% nut, 46% shell.¹

¹ based on a sample of 10 pistachios. 6.04g nuts, 5.19g shells. -
Shout out to everyone else working on staining their fingers pink this week.

Friends, there is nothing like old, stale, pistachios. You still do all the work to open each one, but the little nugget inside is just a tasteless piece of cardboard way past its sell by date. Be warned.
I'm bringing you the big issues of the day here.

There's a distinct lack of western wine snobs boycotting Shiraz because it's an "Iranian" grape variety.

Being in the grape industry, I found this podcast about pistachios interesting as water use is a big issue, marketing has been key to trying to increase demand to meet an upsurge of plantings, and the dominant company in California is vertically integrated, like many wineries...

I normally get #Kirkland brand aka #Costco #pistachios but ran out, so I got a bag of #Wonderful brand.
Wonderful are small, a lot are closed up tight. Most are roasted till they're brown, tiny, and shriveled.
1lb Wonderful bag was $9.99.
Costco are larger. Almost all are wide open. Perfectly roasted, still flavorful and green. Undoubtedly better in quality and flavor.
3 lb Costco bag was $15.

If the medical establishment was truly serious about weaning people off of crystal meth, cocaine, crack, heroin, weed, etc. all they have to do is prescribe salted and roasted pistachios as a treatment. There's probably not a more addictive substance known to mankind 🤔😎
