GUEST COLUMN: Food & Thought: November Eats – News – The Arlington Advocate | Black Watermelon Seeds

When storing watermelon seeds it is essential to ensure that they are dry so after removing them from the fruit. You can pat them dry with a towel or dry them in the sun. Drying them in the sun is the best way out. If you try to dry them in the oven or microwave, you will be cooking them so don’t. Once dry, place them in a paper envelope and place them in a dry place away from any moisture. Ensure that they do not get wet as that would cause them to go bad.

If you take a close look at this knobby nut (as in the above photo), you’ll see that it closely resembles the cerebral cortex of the brain! Mother Nature works in mysterious ways, given that this nut is well-known for contributing to brain health. Walnuts date to as far back as 7000 B.C., and were called Juglans regia (“Jupiter’s royal acorn”) by the Ancient Romans. There are two main varieties of walnuts: The Persian (or English) walnut, which originated in Persia, and the black walnut, which is native to United States. However, the black walnut is not commercially produced, which means that most walnuts you buy in the store will be Persian walnuts. Walnuts are an excellent source of antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, which assist in the creation of new neurons in the brain, and also may work as a mood booster. They also improve cardiovascular health and help cleanse the digestive system due to their high fiber content.

Sunflowers have two main commercial uses, oil and confectionery (for direct seed consumption). Oil varieties of the flower have small, black, oil-rich seeds with thin hulls, which are pressed to produce an edible, almost tasteless, pale oil, rich in unsaturated fatty acids (especially oleic acid and linoleic acid). The oil is popular for cooking, margarine manufacture and even bio-diesel production. Leftovers from oil extraction are used to make high-protein animal feed. Confectionery types, on the other hand, have large, striped, oil-poor seeds with thick hulls. Both oil and confectionery types are the results of centuries of careful selection and breeding from wild plants.

On and off the court, LeBron makes international news. He’s been an economic and cultural force since he was in high school. Today, he’s a cultural and political gatekeeper — at icon status. When posting, he speaks to more than a hundred million people (he has platforms beyond Twitter and IG), and James lives a version of The Truman Show. But, despite Avenger-like feats on the court, even this deep into a career, he is still human.
