#yogurt — Public Fediverse posts

Am... am flabbergasted....
b TWICE
in less than a year... two plotters.. asked me what are blackberries for!! good grief!! one, an immigrant, was amazed when I told him they're edible and delicious, he made a disgusted face.... the other a local with the plot right next to mine, also asked what are they for. I said they're edible and delicious and grown all around you; offered one fruit from a box I'd just filled in from the nearby bushes, she made a face and refused.

Goodness gracious me. I rest my case. Am not telling them am having a handful of them in goat yogurt, for breakfast, lest they run away in fright.

Picked up some new potatoes over a couple of weeks; thanks to blackbirds digging for worms, they pull them up clean and tidy. nice.

From #yogurt to yield: Potential applications of #LacticAcidBacteria in plant production

Highlights
• Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been used for decades to improve plant growth.
• The plant - LAB relationship has yet to be fully characterized.
• LAB can serve as biofertilizers, biocontrols, biostimulants, and bioelicitors.

Abstract:
"Ferments containing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been used for decades in agricultural systems to improve soils, control disease and promote plant growth, however, the functional roles of LAB in the phytomicrobiome have yet to be discovered. An understanding of the symbiotic relationship between plants and LAB could be exploited to improve agricultural plant production.

"Scientific investigations to validate plant growth promoting properties of LAB are increasing in number and scope. LAB isolated from diverse sources have been shown to be effective biofertilizers, biocontrol agents, biostimulants. As biofertilizers, LAB can improve nutrient availability from compost and other organic material. In fermented food, LAB has served as an effective biocontrol agent; recently LAB have been shown to be effective in the control of a wide variety of fungal and bacterial phytopathogens. As biostimulants, LAB can directly promote plant growth or seed germination, as well as alleviating various abiotic stresses.

"In this review, we discuss the history and ecology of plants and LAB, appraise the available information on the use of LAB in improving plant production, and consider the limitations and potential new directions for the use of LAB in plant agriculture."

Mango and blueberry Greek Yoghurt 😋

Yoghurt making started this morning.

Our little 8-container yoghurt incubator works well for the Canadian bagged-milk situation. When I have one container left, I heat up a single bag's volume of milk (1.3 L) then let it cool. That volume plus the last container dumped in to inoculate the batch makes exactly 8 full containers again. A continuous loop.

Il consumo di probiotici è collegato alla salute mentale in modi inaspettati: il Lactobacillus influenza la gestione dello stress, la prevenzione della depressione e dell'ansia. Approfondiamo insieme lo studio appena pubblicato.

Hoy, pusimos a hacer dos litros de yogurt. That escalated quickly #yogurt #casero
