The role of post-harvest handling in determining the quality and market value of avocados cannot be overstated. Poor handling practices can lead to mechanical damage, reducing fruit quality and, ultimately, the market price. Therefore, careful harvesting to avoid bruising, correct packing to minimize pressure on the fruits, and appropriate storage conditions are fundamental to preserving quality. Ensuring a seamless transition from harvest to market is crucial. It's Avocado Season - Let the Green Fest Begin! #AvocadoSeason?? #newmonth #coldstorage #SokoFresh

You know how people say 'just plant one thing', and part of you thinks 'but one bit of lettuce isn't going to save the world'. What they're getting at, though, is that planting something is the first step towards growing lots of things. It's the first step towards appreciating the seasons, to discovering the magical world of nematodes and humus that lies beneath our feet, to spending more time outdoors and less time in line at the supermarket. It's the first step towards seed saving and having a deep appreciation for local food sovereignty. It's a step towards taking our needs into our own hands and removing our vote from the industrial food system. It's the first step towards learning how to cook with whole foods, how to forage wild fruit and eat local weeds. It's a step towards the deep satisfaction we feel from embracing growing food as a new and important skill. Planting one thing leads to all this and more.

Tomato shoots, also known as tomato sprouts or tomato suckers, are young growths that emerge from the junctions between the main stem and branches of tomato plants. These shoots play several important roles in the growth and management of tomato plants. Tomato shoots typically appear as small, tender stems that develop at the leaf axils, where leaves meet the main stem. #Crops

To day is National Strawberry ?? Day (US) Strawberries have grown in the wild for thousands of years, and it was the French who first brought this delicious red berry into their gardens for cultivation in the 14th century. Not long afterward, English Archbishop Thomas Wolsey created the winning combination of strawberries and cream for Henry VIII’s court that so many people still enjoy today. However, the early species of strawberries were very different from those we feast on now. It wasn’t until 1712 that a French excursion to Chile resulted in the mixing of different types of strawberry plants, and the garden strawberry we know today was born. In the early 19th century, love for strawberries spread quickly when strawberries and cream were seen as a luxury, and the invention of the railroad meant that they could be transported quickly all around the country. New York produced bumper crops and farms also sprang up in Arkansas, Louisiana, Florida, and Tennessee. Now, 75% of U.S. strawberries are grown in California, but they are still grown in every state. The berry’s name may be due to a number of reasons: some argue that it comes from the Old English “streawberige” because of its straw-like fronds. Others suggest that they’re so called because of farmers mulching them with straw, and there are also accounts that the berries were sold on straw skewers at markets #science?#sciencecommunication ?#scienceandtechnology?#chemistry? #scienceandtechnology?#foodbusiness #foodchemistry #strawberry #food #foodandbeverageindustry #organicchemistry #organicsynthesis #infographic?via?Compound Interest | Chemistry infographics
