It is located 7.7 km from Terni, a provincial capital of the Italian region of Umbria.

Tourists try to be there the moment the gates are opened to see the powerful rush of water. The Velino river flows through the highlands that surround the city of Rieti. In ancient times, it fed a wetland in the Rieti Valley that was thought to bring illness (probably malaria). To remove that threat to the city of Rieti, in 271 BC, the Roman consul Manius Curius


title: "Cascata delle Marmore" content: Dentatus ordered the construction of a canal (the "Curiano Trench") to divert the stagnant waters into the natural cliff at Marmore. From there, the water fell into the Nera river below. However, that solution created a different problem: when the Velino river was in flood stage, its water flowed through the Nera toward the city of Terni, threatening its population. The issue was so contentious between the two cities that the Roman Senate was forced to address it in 54 BC. Aulus Pompeius represented Terni, and Cicero represented Rieti. The Senate did nothing about the problem, and the problem remained


title: "Cascata delle Marmore" content: the same for centuries. Lack of maintenance in the canal resulted in a decrease in the flow, until eventually the wetland began to reappear. In 1422, Pope Gregory XII ordered the construction of a new canal to restore the original flow (the "Gregorian Trench" or "Rieti Trench"). In 1545, Pope Paul III ordered that a new canal be built (the "Pauline Trench"). The plan was to expand the Curian Trench and to build a regulating valve to control the flow. Upon its completion some 50 years later (in 1598), Pope Clement VIII inaugurated the new work, and named it after

In the following two centuries, the presence of the canal was problematic for the countryside in the valley below, as the Nera often flooded it. In 1787, Pope Pius VI ordered architect Andrea Vici to modify the leaps below the falls, giving the falls its present look and finally resolving the majority of the problems. In 1896, the newly formed steel mills in Terni began using the water flow in the Curiano Trench to power their operation. In the following years, engineers began using the water flow to generate electricity. Most of the time, the water

It is a highly variable tree, being tall in favorable situations, and a much smaller prostrate shrub when growing in boggy soils or directly on basalt. It produces a brilliant display of flowers, made up of a mass of stamens, which can range from fiery red to yellow. Many native Hawaiian traditions refer to the tree and the forests it forms as sacred to Pele, the volcano goddess, and to

It is a common misconception that the word "ōhia" is used to refer to the tree and that the word "lehua" refers only to its flowers. "The Hawaiian Dictionary" (Pukui and Elbert 1986: 199) defines "lehua" with these words: "The flower of the "ōhia" tree... "also the tree itself" [emphasis added]." Thus the "Metrosideros polymorpha" may be referred to correctly as a "lehua" tree, or as an "ōhia lehua", or simply an "ōhia". "Metrosideros polymorpha" is

It is relatively slow growing. Dominant in cloud forests above , the tree is also common in seasonally wet forests, where it may be dominant or form mixtures with the native "Acacia koa".

Rainfall of per year is favored, but ōhia can grow in dry forests that receive as little as or bogs that get more than of rain. On moist, deep soils, ōhia grows to high. Specimens reaching high are on record. The trunk varies in form. In some trees, it is straight and smooth; in others, it is twisted and prominently fluted. Trees growing in forests often have stilt roots, having germinated on logs or the stems of fallen hāpuu ("Cibotium" tree


title: "Metrosideros polymorpha" content: ferns), which have long decayed away when the tree has reached maturity. Some trees have fibrous aerial roots to gather moisture. At high elevations, and in areas with poor soils or little rainfall, shrub forms are the norm. Flowers are usually bright to medium red but orange-red, salmon, pink, yellow, or orange forms are also found. The flowers appear in clusters on the terminal ends of the branches. Masses of stamens extend from the flower and give the blossoms their characteristic pom-pom shape.

In native Hawaiian society, it was used in house and "heiau" construction, as well as to make "papa kui ai" (poi boards), weapons, tool handles, "hohoa" (round "kapa" beaters), and "kii" (statues and idols). Although the trunk of "ōhia" was not used to make the "kaele" (hull) of "waa" (outrigger canoes), it was used for their "nohona waa" (seats), "pale" (gunwales), and "pola" (decking). "Wae" (spreaders) were made from the curved stilt roots of "ōhia". "Pā" (fencing) was made from the wood due to its availability; "kauila" ("Colubrina oppositifolia" or "Alphitonia ponderosa"), more durable woods when in contact

The "lehua" (flowers) and "liko lehua" (leaf buds) were used in making "lei". The flowers were used medicinally to treat pain experienced during childbirth. Ōhia lehua is one of the few honey plants that is native to the Hawaiian Islands. There are about 50 species in the genus "Metrosideros" in Southeast Asia and the Pacific and as well one species in South Africa. The Hawaiian Islands are home to five species of "Metrosideros" that are "endemic" to the islands, meaning they are found nowhere

The species are readily distinguished from one another by the characteristics of their leaves. "Metrosideros kermadecensis", from the Kermadec Islands north of New Zealand, has recently become naturalized on Maui and may become a pest species. Several cultivars of "M. excelsa", the Pōhutukawa tree of New Zealand, have been sometimes planted as ornamentals in Hawaii but are not reported to have naturalized. "Metrosideros polymorpha" was originally classified as a variety of "M. collina", native to Rarotonga, Tahiti, and other islands of Polynesia, but now


title: "Metrosideros polymorpha" content: is generally accepted as a distinct Hawaiian endemic species. "Metrosideros polymorpha" forests in Hawaii have been invaded by myriad alien species. In the wet forests these include the strawberry guava ("Psidium littorale"), albizia ("Falcataria moluccana"), and "purple plague" ("Miconia calvescens"). In drier areas, problematic invaders include faya tree ("Myrica faya") and Christmasberry ("Schinus terebinthifolius"). Alien grasses such as meadow ricegrass ("Ehrharta stipoides") may form an understory that prevents or inhibits natural regeneration of the forests. In drier areas, "M. polymorpha" has to compete with silk oak ("Grevillea robusta") and fountain grass ("Pennisetum setaceum"). More recently, a strain of fungus initially

In April 2018, the cause of Rapid 'Ohi'a Death was identified as two species of "Ceratocystis" previously unknown to science: "C. huliohia" and "C. lukuohia". By May 2018, infected ʻōhiʻa trees were found on the island of Kauai, prompting requests that members of the public limit transportation of ʻōhiʻa

The genus name "Metrosideros" is derived from the Greek words "metra", meaning 'heartwood', and "sideron," meaning 'iron', and refers to the hard wood of the trees in this genus. The specific epithet "polymorpha," meaning 'many forms', is very appropriate, since individuals of this species exhibit many different morphologies and inhabit a broad range of ecological situations. The Hawaiian language word "ōhia" is thought to have been derived from the ancestral Proto-Oceanic word, "*kafika." Throughout Oceania, there are many similar-sounding words that were also derived from the same ancestral protoform and, in most cases, they are names

In the Hawaiian Islands, however, the word "ōhia" is not only used to refer to "Syzygium malaccense", but also to other species of "Syzygium" and "Metrosideros" that occur there. The derivation of the word "lehua" is more obscure, and while there are many opinions regarding its origin, there has been to date, no historical linguistic study of the word to provide convincing evidence for any particular etymology. In Hawaiian mythology, Ōhia and Lehua were two young lovers. The volcano goddess Pele fell in love with the handsome Ōhia and approached

Lehua was devastated by this transformation and out of pity the other gods turned her into a flower and placed her upon the ōhia tree. Other versions say that Pele felt remorseful but was unable to reverse the change, so she turned Lehua into a flower herself. It is said that when a "lehua" flower is plucked from an "ōhia" tree, the sky will fill with rain representing the separated lovers' tears.

Designed by architect Gabriel Baranovskii (Baranovsky, Baranowski, Гавриил Васильевич Барановский), it is one of the most striking examples of St. Petersburg Art Nouveau architecture, although at the time of its construction the building was considered controversial. A restaurant formerly


title: "Schinus molle" content: Schinus molle Schinus molle (Peruvian pepper, also known as American pepper, Peruvian peppertree, escobilla, false pepper, molle del Peru, pepper tree, peppercorn tree, California pepper tree, pirul and Peruvian mastic) is an evergreen tree that grows to 15 meters (50 feet). It is native to the Peruvian Andes. The bright pink fruits of "Schinus molle" are often sold as "pink peppercorns" although "S. molle" is unrelated to true pepper ("Piper nigrum"). The tree is host to "Bombycomorpha bifascia", known as the pepper-tree moth. "Schinus molle" is a quick growing evergreen tree that grows up to 15 meters (50 feet) tall


title: "Schinus molle" content: and wide. It is the largest of all "Schinus" species and potentially the longest lived. The upper branches of the tree tend to droop. The tree's pinnately compound leaves measure 8–25 cm long × 4–9 cm wide and are made up of 19-41 alternate leaflets. Male and female flowers occur on separate plants (dioecious). Flowers are small, white and borne profusely in panicles at the ends of the drooping branches. The fruit are 5–7 mm diameter round drupes with woody seeds that turn from green to red, pink or purplish, carried in dense clusters of hundreds of berries that can

"Schinus molle" is native to the arid zone of northern South America and Peru's Andean deserts, and goes to central Argentina and central Chile. It has, however, become widely naturalized around the world where it has been planted, known for its strong wood used for saddles. It was part of the Spanish colonies' supply sources for saddles; as an ornamental and for spice production. "S. molle" is a drought tolerant, long-lived, hardy evergreen species that has become a


title: "Schinus molle" content: serious invasive weed internationally. In South Africa, for example, "S. molle" has invaded savanna and grasslands and become naturalized along drainage lines and roadsides in semi-desert. It is also invasive throughout much of Australia in a range of habitats from grasslands to dry open forest and coastal areas, as well as railway sidings and abandoned farms. In the United States, either "S. molle" or its close relative "Schinus terebinthifolius" is particularly invasive in Florida and Hawaii, and can also be found crowding out native vegetation in southern Arizona, southern California, Texas, Louisiana and Puerto Rico. Although not related to commercial


title: "Schinus molle" content: pepper ("Piper nigrum") the pink/red berries are sold as pink peppercorns and often blended with commercial pepper. The fruit and leaves are, however, potentially poisonous to poultry, pigs and possibly calves. Records also exist of young children who have experienced vomiting and diarrhea after eating the fruit. Presently "Schinus molle" lacks generally recognized as safe (GRAS) status with the FDA. Extracts of "S. molle" have been used as a flavor in drinks and syrups. In traditional medicine, "S. molle" was used in treating a variety of wounds and infections due to its antibacterial and antiseptic properties. It has also been


title: "Schinus molle" content: used as an antidepressant and diuretic, and for toothache, rheumatism and menstrual disorders, with recent studies in mice providing possible support for its antidepressant effects. It has also been speculated that "S. molle" insecticidal properties make it a good candidate for use as an alternative to synthetic chemicals in pest control. Fresh green leaves in bunches are used shamanically in Mesoamerican traditional ceremonies for cleansings and blessings. The leaves are also used for the natural dyeing of textiles in the Andean region. This practice dates back to pre-Columbian times. The Incas used the oil from its leaves in early mummification


title: "Schinus molle" content: practices to preserve and embalm their dead. The word "molle" in "Schinus molle" comes from "mulli", the Quechua word for the tree. The Inca used the sweet outer part of ripe fruit to make a drink. Berries were rubbed carefully to avoid mixing with the bitter inner parts, the mix strained and then left for a few days to produce a drink. It was also boiled down for syrup or mixed with maize to make nourishing gruel. There is also significant archaeological evidence that the fruits of "S. molle" were used extensively in the central Andes around 550-1000 AD for

The seeds have a particularly hard coat and germination rates are greatly improved after they have passed through the gut of birds or other animals. Seeds germinate in spring, with seedlings slow growing until established. The seeds easily germinate under the tree in the existing leaf litter of the mother tree, by the hundreds at once and can be easily transplanted.

They concluded that "an optical continuum cannot be explained by self-phase modulation alone." They continued by pointing out the difficulties of phase-matching over long lengths of fibre to maintain four wave mixing, and reported an unusual damage mechanism (with hindsight this would probably be considered a very short fibre fuse). They note a much earlier suggestion by Loy and Shen that if the nanosecond pulses consisted of sub-nanosecond spikes in a nanosecond envelope, it would explain the broad continuum. This idea of

She was the daughter of the British Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone, and achieved notability as his advisor, confidante and private secretary. She also attained a fair degree of political influence by controlling access to him. The Gladstones were a large and eccentric family. Mary's mother ("née" Catherine Glynne) and her mother's sister Mary, Lady Lyttelton, married on the same day in the same church, and often kept both families in the same house.

He was responsible for a quarter of the total amount of all recorded sermons released before 1943. The Reverend is credited with introducing the gospel music of former blues artist Thomas A. Dorsey into the black gospel market via his crusades. Gates died of a cerebral hemorrhage in August 1945. His funeral drew the largest crowd of any memorial service in Atlanta before Martin Luther King, Jr.

The territorial right to the islands is disputed between the People's Republic of China, the Republic of China, and Japan, who currently controls them. The group regularly sends expeditions to the islands and would make landing on them to assert Chinese sovereignty. In addition to its goals regarding the Diaoyu Islands, the group has also called for the Japanese government to


title: "Candy cap" content: Candy cap Candy cap or curry milkcap is the English-language common name for several closely related edible species of "Lactarius"; "L. camphoratus", "L. fragilis", and "L. rubidus". These mushrooms are valued for their highly aromatic qualities and are used culinarily as a mere flavoring rather than as a constituent of a full meal. Candy caps are small to medium-size mushrooms, with a pileus that is typically under 5 cm in diameter (though "L. rubidus" and "L. rufulus" can be slightly larger), and with coloration ranging through various burnt orange to burnt orange-red to orange-brown shades. The pileus shape ranges from


title: "Candy cap" content: broadly convex in young specimens to plane to slightly depressed in older ones; lamellae are attached to subdecurrent. The entire fruiting body is quite fragile and brittle. Like all members of "Lactarius", the fruiting body exudes a latex when broken, which in these species is whitish and watery in appearance, and is often compared to whey or nonfat milk. The latex may have little flavor or may be slightly sweet, but should never taste bitter or acrid. These species are particularly distinguishable by their scent, which has been variously compared to maple syrup, camphor, curry, fenugreek, burnt sugar, Malt-O-Meal, or


title: "Candy cap" content: "Maggi-Würze". This scent may be quite faint in fresh specimens, but typically becomes quite strong when the fruiting body is dried. Microscopically, they share features typical of "Lactarius", including round to slightly ovular spores with distinct amyloid ornamentation and sphaerocysts that are abundant in the pileus and stipe trama, but infrequent in the lamellar trama. The candy caps have been placed in various infrageneric groups of "Lactarius" depending on the author. Bon defined the candy caps and allies as making up the subsection "Camphoratini" of the section "Olentes". Subsection "Camphoratini" is defined by their similarity in color, odor (with the


title: "Candy cap" content: exception of "L. rostratus" – see below), and by the presence of macrocystidia on their hymenium. (The other subsection of "Olentes", "Serifluini", is also aromatic, but have very different aromas from the "Camphoratini" and are entirely lacking in cystidia.) Bon and later European authors treated all species that were aromatic and had at least a partially epithelial pileipellis as section "Olentes", whereas Hesler and Smith and later North American authors treat all species with such a pileipellis (both aromatic and non-aromatic) as the section "Thojogali". However, a thorough molecular phylogenetic investigation of "Lactarius" has yet to be published, and older


title: "Candy cap" content: classification systems of "Lactarius" are generally not regarded as natural. Like other species of "Lactarius", candy caps are generally thought to be ectotrophic, with "L. camphoratus" having been identified in ectomycorrhizal root tips. However, unusually for a mycorrhizal species, "L. rubidus" is also commonly observed growing directly on decaying conifer wood. All candy cap species seem to be associated with a range of tree species. The most notable differences between "L. camphoratus", "L. fragilis", and "L. rubidus" are as follows: It is possible to mistake other distasteful or toxic species of mushrooms for candy caps or mistakenly include in such


title: "Candy cap" content: species in a larger collection of candy caps. Those inexperienced with mushroom identification may mistake any number of little brown mushrooms ("LBMs") for candy caps, including the deadly galerina ("Galerina marginata" and allies), which can occur in the same habitat. Candy caps can be distinguished from non-"Lactarius" species by their brittle stipe, while most other "LBMs" have a more flexible stipe. It is therefore recommended that candy caps be gathered by hand, breaking the fragile stipe in ones fingers. By this method, LBM's with a cartilaginous stipe will easily be distinguished. Candy caps may also be confused with any of


title: "Candy cap" content: a large number of small, similarly colored species of "Lactarius" that may be distasteful to downright toxic depending on the species and the number consumed. Candy caps may be distinguished from other "Lactarius" by the following characteristics: The chemical responsible for the distinct odor of the candy cap was isolated in 2012 by chemical ecologist and natural product chemist William Wood of Humboldt State University, from collections of "Lactarius rubidus". The odoriferous compound found in the fresh tissue and latex of the mushroom was found to be quabalactone III, an aromatic lactone. When the tissue and latex is dried, quabalactone


title: "Candy cap" content: III is hydrolyzed into sotolon, an even more powerfully aromatic compound, and one of the main compounds responsible for the aroma of maple syrup, as well as that of curry. The question of what compound was responsible for the odor of candy cap had been under investigation by Wood and various students for a period of 27 years, when a mycology student in a class he was teaching asked what compound was responsible for the mushroom's odor, triggering investigation into the question. Isolation of the compound remained elusive, until solid-phase microextraction was used to extract the volatile compounds, which were


title: "Candy cap" content: then analyzed using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. Earlier investigation of the aromatic compounds of "L. helvus" by Rapor, et al. had also yielded sotolon (among a large number of other aromatic compounds), which was identified as giving this species its distinct fenugreek odor. Other important volatile compounds identified included decanoic acid and 2-methylbutyric acid. Analysis of "Lactarius camphoratus" has shown that it contains 12-hydroxycaryophyllene-4,5-oxide, a caryophyllene compound. However, this was not identified as an aromatic component of this mushroom. Candy caps are not typically consumed as a vegetable the way most other edible mushrooms are consumed. Because of the strongly aromatic


title: "Candy cap" content: quality of these mushrooms, they are instead used primarily as a flavoring, much the way vanilla, saffron, or truffles are used. They impart a flavor and aroma to foods that has been compared to maple syrup or curry, but with a much stronger aroma than either of these seasonings. Candy caps are unique among edible mushrooms in that they are often used in sweet and dessert foods, such as cookies and ice cream. They are also sometimes used to flavor savory dishes that are traditionally prepared with sweet accompaniments, such as pork, and are also sometimes used in place of


title: "Candy cap" content: curry seasoning. They are usually used in dried form, as the characteristic aroma intensifies greatly upon drying. To use them as a flavoring, the dried mushrooms are either powdered or they are infused into one of liquid ingredients used in the dish, for example, being steeped in hot milk, much the same way whole vanilla beans are. As a result of these culinary properties, candy caps are highly sought after by many chefs. "Lactarius rubidus" is commercially gathered and sold in California while "L. camphoratus" is gathered and sold in the United Kingdom Marchand reports that some individuals use "L.


title: "Candy cap" content: camphoratus" as part of a pipe tobacco mix. A number of species of "Lactarius" are distinctly aromatic, though only some of these species are thought to be closely related to the candy cap group. The subsection "Camphoratini" includes "Lactarius rostratus", a species found in northern Europe, though quite rare. Unlike other members of subsection "Camphoratini", "L. rostratus" has an unpleasant (even nauseating) smell, described as resembling ivy. "Lactarius cremor" is a name sometimes used for mushrooms in this group, however, Heilmann-Clausen, et al. consider this name to be nomen dubium, referring variously to "Lacarius rostratus", "L. serifluus", or "L. fulvissimus"


title: "Candy cap" content: depending on the author's concept of "L. cremor". "Lactarius mukteswaricus" and "L. verbekenae", two species described from the Kumaon area of the Indian Himalaya in 2004, are reported to be very closely related to "L. camphoratus" and "L. fragilis", respectively, including in odor. "Lactarius rufulus" is reported by one source as being a "candy cap" species and having a similar odor to the other candy caps, though earlier monographs do not report such an aroma and describe the flavor as subacrid. "Lactarius helvus" and "L. aquifluus", found in Europe and North America, respectively, are also strongly aromatic and similar to


title: "Candy cap" content: candy caps, the former having the odor of fenugreek. "Lactarius helvus" is known to be mildly toxic, causing gastrointestinal upset. The edibility of "L. aquifluus" is unknown, but as it is a close relative of "L. helvus", it is suspected of being toxic. "Lactarius glyciosmus" and "L. cocosiolens" both have a distinct coconut odor. "L. glyciosmus", however, has a subacrid flavor, though it is reported as having been gathered commercially in Scotland.

It extends north from the northern front of the Royal Palace passing over Helgeandsholmen in front of the Riksdag building, and from there over to Gustav Adolfs torg. Norrbro was designed by the city architect Erik Palmstedt (1741–1803) in a neoclassical style. Norrbro was one of the first bridges of Stockholm to be built in stone. It was completed in ten years, with the northern portion, supported by three arches, finished in 1797, and the southern, supported by a single arch, in 1806. Norrbro replaced two

In many aspects Norrbro remained an unparalleled bridge in Stockholm for a long period, exceeding all other not only by its width (19 m) and span, but also by being the first street to be paved and furnished with separate pavements. For the foundation work of the bridge Erik Palmstedt introduced a new method. The base of a pillar was bricked on a barge with tall walls, which was then filled with enough water to sink to the piling on the bottom. There the walls of the barge were

title: "Poppy seed" content: Poppy seed Poppy seed is an oilseed obtained from the poppy ("Papaver somniferum"). The tiny kidney-shaped seeds have been harvested from dried seed pods by various civilizations for thousands of years. It is still widely used in many countries, especially in Central Europe, where it is legally grown and sold in shops. The seeds are used whole or ground into meal as an ingredient in many foods – especially in pastry and bread – and they are pressed to yield poppyseed oil. The poppy seed is mentioned in ancient medical texts from many civilizations. For instance, the Egyptian papyrus scroll


title: "Poppy seed" content: named Ebers Papyrus, written c. 1550 BC, lists poppy seed as a sedative. The Minoan civilization (approximately 2700 to 1450 BC), a Bronze Age civilization which arose on the island of Crete, cultivated poppies for their seed, and used a milk, opium and honey mixture to calm crying babies. The Sumerians are another civilization that are known to have grown poppy seeds. Poppy seeds are less than a millimeter in length, kidney-shaped, and have a pitted surface. It takes 3,300 poppy seeds to make up a gram, and between 1 and 2 million seeds to make up a pound. The


title: "Poppy seed" content: primary flavor compound is 2-Pentylfuran. The seeds of other poppy types are not eaten, but they are cultivated for the flowers they produce. Annual and biennial poppies are considered a good choice to cultivate from seed as they are not difficult to propagate by this method, and can be put directly in the ground during January. The California poppy ("Eschscholzia californica"), for example, is a striking orange wildflower that grows in the Western and Northwestern United States. In 2016, world production of poppy seeds was 92,610 tonnes, led by the Czech Republic with 31% of the world total, followed by


title: "Poppy seed" content: Turkey and Spain as other major producers (table). The poppy seed harvest can be a by-product of cultivation of Papaver somniferum for opium, poppy straw, or both opium and poppy straw. However, harvesting for poppy seeds of superior quality is in conflict with harvesting for opium as poppy seeds should be harvested when they are ripe, after the seed pod has dried. Traditionally, opium is harvested while the seed pods are green and the seeds have just begun to grow and their latex is abundant. Poppy straw can be a by-product of cultivation of poppy seeds. Compared to the seed


title: "Poppy seed" content: pod and straw, the seeds contain very low levels of opiates. The seeds may be washed to obtain poppy tea but a large amount is needed, around 300-400g depending on the levels of opiates. Since poppy seeds are relatively expensive, they are sometimes mixed with the seeds of "Amaranthus paniculatus", which closely resemble poppy seeds. In a 100 gram amount, poppy seeds provide 525 Calories and are a rich source of thiamin, folate, and several essential minerals, including calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus and zinc (table). Poppy seeds are composed of 6% water, 28% carbohydrates, 42% fat, and 21% protein


title: "Poppy seed" content: (table). Whole poppy seeds are widely used as a spice and decoration in and on top of many baked goods and pastries. In North America they are used in and on many food items such as poppyseed muffins, rusk, bagels (like the Montreal-style bagel), bialys, and cakes such as sponge cake. Poppy seeds can also be used like sesame seeds, added to hamburger buns or to make a bar of candy. The bars are made from boiled seeds mixed with sugar or with honey. This is especially common in the Balkans, Greece and even in the cuisines of former Austro-Hungarian


title: "Poppy seed" content: countries. The color of poppy seeds is important in some uses. According to "The Joy of Cooking", "the most desirable come from Holland and are a slate-blue color." When used as a thickener in some dishes, white poppy seeds are preferred, having less impact on the color of the food. In other dishes, black poppy seeds are preferred, for maximum impact. Blue poppy seeds are used in various German breads and desserts as well as in Polish cuisine. Poppy seeds can be ground using a generic tool such as a mortar and pestle or a small domestic type electric blade


title: "Poppy seed" content: grinder, or a special purpose poppy seed grinder. A poppy seed grinder (mill) is a type of burr grinder with a set aperture that is too narrow for intact poppy seeds to pass through. A burr grinder produces a more uniform and less oily paste than these other tools. The poppy seed paste is used for fillings in pastries, sometimes mixed with butter or milk and sugar. The ground filling is used in poppy seed rolls and some croissants and may be flavored with lemon or orange zest, rum and vanilla with raisins, heavy cream, cinnamon, and chopped blanched almonds


title: "Poppy seed" content: or walnuts added. For sweet baked goods, sometimes instead of sugar a tablespoon of jam, or other sweet binding agent, like syrup is substituted. The poppy seed for fillings are best when they are finely and freshly ground because this will make a big difference in the pastry filling's texture and taste. Poppy seed paste is available commercially, in cans. Poppy seeds are very high in oil, so commercial pastes normally contain sugar, water, and an emulsifier such as soy lecithin to keep the paste from separating. Commercial pastes also contain food preservatives to keep them from becoming rancid. In


title: "Poppy seed" content: the United States, commercial pastes are marketed under brand names including Solo and American Almond. Per 30 gram serving, the American Almond poppy seed paste has 120 calories, 4.5 grams fat, and 2 grams protein. Poppy seeds are pressed to form poppyseed oil, a valuable commercial oil that has multiple culinary and industrial uses. Poppy seeds are often used as bird seed, in which case they are usually called maw seeds. Poppy seeds are used around the world in various cuisines. Across Europe, buns and soft white bread pastries are often sprinkled on top with black and white poppy seeds


title: "Poppy seed" content: (for example Cozonac, Kalach Kolache and, Kołacz). The seeds of the czech blue poppy (food safety cultivars "Papaver somniferum)" are widely consumed in many parts of Central and Eastern Europe. The sugared, milled mature seeds are eaten with pasta, or they are boiled with milk and used as filling or topping on various kinds of sweet pastry. Milling of mature seeds is carried out either industrially or at home, where it is generally done with a manual poppy seed mill. Blue poppy seeds are widely used in Austrian, Croatian, Czech, German, Hungarian, Lithuanian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Turkish and Ukrainian


title: "Poppy seed" content: cuisines. The states of former Yugoslavia (notably Macedonia and Serbia, but also Croatia and Bosnia) have a long tradition of preparing poppy seed pastry (strudel, baklava, pajgle) and dishes (pasta with poppy seeds). In Poland, Lithuania and Eastern Slovakia, a traditional dessert is prepared for the "Kūčios" (Christmas Eve) dinner from poppy seeds. They are ground and mixed with water or milk; round yeast biscuits ("kūčiukai" in Lithuanian; "opekance" or "bobalky" in Slovak) are soaked in the resulting poppy seed 'milk' (poppy milk) and served cold. In Central Europe, poppy strudel is very popular, especially during Christmas. In Germany, Poland


title: "Poppy seed" content: and countries belonging to the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, poppy seed pastries called "Mohnkuchen" are often eaten around Christmas time. Recipes for Mohnstriezel use poppy seed soaked in water for two hours or boiled in milk. A recipe for Ukrainian poppyseed cake recommends preparing the seeds by immersing in boiling water, straining and soaking in milk overnight. In Eastern European Jewish cuisine, pastries filled with black poppy seeds in a sugary paste are traditional during Purim, which occurs exactly one month before Passover and approximately a month before Easter. Traditional pastries include poppy seed kalács and hamantashen, both sometimes known as


title: "Poppy seed" content: "beigli" (also spelled "bejgli"). Poppy seed hamantashen were the main traditional food eaten by Ashkenazi Jews at Purim until the filling was replaced by other fruit and nut fillings. Poppy seed pastries are common in Jewish bakeries and delicatessens throughout the United States. In Indian cuisine white poppy seeds are added for thickness, texture and also give added flavor to recipes. Commonly used in the preparation of korma, ground poppy seeds, along with coconut and other spices, are combined as a paste to be added at the last stage of cooking. It is quite hard to grind the seeds when


title: "Poppy seed" content: raw, so water is usually added after they are toasted or broiled to get the right consistency when grinding. Words for poppy seed paste include Assamese – "Aafu guti (আফু গুতি)", Hindi/Marathi – "Khas Khas" (खस खस), Odia – "Posta", Bengali – "Posto", Kannada – "Gasagase" (ಗಸಗಸೆ) or Telugu "gasagasa" (గసగసాలు) or gasagasaalu or Tamil "Kasa kasaa" () or Malayalam – " (കശ കശ)". Poppy seeds are widely used in Maharashtrian cuisine, Gujarati cuisine, Andhra cuisine, Bihari cuisine, Bengali cuisine, Odia cuisine, and Malabar cuisine (Northern Kerala). In Maharashtra, poppy seeds (called खस खस in Marathi) are used to garnish


title: "Poppy seed" content: anarsa (अनारसा), a special sweet prepared during the festival of Diwali. It is also added to boiling milk sometimes. In Gujarat, poppy seeds are mostly used in sweets. The most common use is to garnish on a traditional Indian sweet – Ladoo. In Bengal (West Bengal and Bangladesh), white poppy seeds are called "posto " পোস্তো). They are very popular and are used as the main ingredient in a variety of dishes. One of the most popular dishes is aloo posto (potato and poppy seeds) which consists of a large amount of ground poppy seeds cooked together with potatoes and


title: "Poppy seed" content: made into a smooth, rich product, which is sometimes eaten with rice. There are many variants to this basic dish, replacing or complementing the potatoes with such ingredients as onions (pnyaj posto), pointed gourd (potol posto), Ridged Luffa (jhinge posto), chicken (murgi posto), and prawns (chingri posto). The cooked poppy seeds are sometimes served without any accompanying ingredients at all. The consistency of the dish may vary depending on local or household traditions. There are many other posto dishes. Chadachadi is a dish from Bengali cuisine and includes long strips of vegetables, sometimes with the stalks of leafy greens added,
