Strawberry

Strawberry is a small, red fruit that is a member of the rose family. In the Northern Hemisphere, strawberries are usually in season from May to July. The fruit is known for its sweet taste and bright red color and is often used in desserts and jams. The strawberry plant is a perennial, meaning it can grow and produce fruit for many years. Strawberries are also a good source of vitamin C, manganese, and folate. They can be eaten fresh, frozen, or used in a variety of foods such as cakes, ice creams, and smoothies. Strawberries are also used to make jams, jellies, and syrups. Strawberries are often grown in cooler climates in greenhouses or plastic tunnels to extend the growing season. Strawberries are highly perishable and should be stored in a cool place, preferably in the refrigerator. The strawberry is not actually a berry, botanically it is a whole accessory fruit, meaning the fleshy part is derived not from the ovary of the plant but from the receptacle containing the ovary. Strawberries are one of the most popular fruits, as they are compact, ideal for containers, and produce delicious sweet berries from early summer. There are summer fruiting, perennial, and alpine types to choose from, each with many delicious varieties. All three varieties have a lot of variation, including variations in taste, sweetness, fruit size and color, disease resistance, harvest time, and even flower color. Attractive and productive at the same time, strawberries are easy to plant in the ground or in containers and are happy in a sheltered, sunny, or lightly shaded location. Just water regularly and weed, and protect the fruit from birds, slugs, and snails, and you'll enjoy the fruits of your very minimal labor in the first summer. Many strawberries even produce new plants after fruiting, so you can easily grow your plants each year or use them to replace old plants that are past their best.

Coffee

Coffee: is a very popular beverage worldwide. Coffee is made by roasting a type of bean known as "coffee bean" and mixing it into a powder. This seed is the seed of a fruit called coffee cherry. This fruit tree grows in about 70 countries. Green coffee is one of the most traded agricultural products in the world. Coffee contains a type of stimulant called caffeine. 8 ounces of coffee contains about 135 mg of caffeine. Coffee has a stimulating effect on humans and acts as a stimulant because of caffeine. Now, coffee is the most popular beverage in the world after tea.

Green coffee is made from unroasted coffee beans

Coffee is the world's second-largest traded commodity (after fuel oil) and one of the world's most consumed beverages. Between 1998-2000, 6.7 million tons of coffee were produced. Coffee production is expected to increase to 7 million tons by 2010.

It is widely recognized as a widely used stimulant drink all over the world. According to 1999 estimates, American citizens consume an average of 3.5 cups of coffee per day.

More than half of the population in the United States is a regular coffee drinker, and they drink an average of 3 cups of coffee per day.

History

Humans have been drinking coffee for over 500 years. The first evidence of coffee drinking in the world can be found in Ethiopia in the fifteenth century.

Health

Various studies have shown that coffee improves liver health and prevents cancer. High levels of caffeine in coffee are beneficial for problems such as low blood pressure. However, consuming more than necessary can cause constipation in people with high blood pressure. It can increase the risk of heart disease.

Coffee Day

National Coffee Day is celebrated annually in the United States on September 29.

I like coffee very much. I thought I would write down what I know about it. First, write about all the coffees that are available in the coffee shop. Like Americano, Cappuccino, Latte, Espresso, Macchiato, Hazelnut, Mocha, etc. Their main ingredient is espresso. Different names on the measure of mixing milk or something else with espresso.

Espresso is usually made with an espresso machine in a coffee shop. After the coffee beans are ground, they are placed in the portafilter of the espresso machine. After that the water vapor that comes out after passing through the coffee powder is Espresso. It is called brewing.

Brew ratio

The test depends a lot on the brew ratio. A 1:1 brew ratio means that the number of coffee grounds you put into the portafilter will produce the same amount of espresso output. For example, 20 grams of coffee powder will give 20 grams of espresso output. 1:2 means 20 grams of ground coffee will yield 40 grams of espresso output, etc.

Brew time

Time is very important. The test also depends on how long it takes to brew. Also, brew time is related to coffee powder. The size of the powder, i.e. more or less powder (grain size), also depends on the coffee test. More powder may take longer brew time. Again the coffee test will be the same. It will be a bit tough. If the powder is less, i.e. a little grainy, the brew time will be shorter. The coffee will also be light.

Brew temperature

The taste of coffee also depends on the temperature. Usually brewed at 200 degrees Fahrenheit. The test may be different but less than this.

Espresso machine

Espresso

Those who like very strong coffee, drink this espresso straight. Different flavors of coffee are made by mixing different ingredients with this espresso.

Americano

Americano means black coffee. Espresso is mixed with water and sugar of your choice. Usually, coffee shops mix 1:2 amount of water. 20 grams of espresso is 40 grams of water. It depends on the coffee shop though.

Macchiato

A macchiato uses a little milk foam with the espresso. Italian Macchiato means Mark. The name suggests what it is. Mark a little bit of foam! nothing else Although many use foam to milk in a 2:1 ratio. That means 20 grams of espresso and 10 grams of milk.

Cappuccino

Cappuccino usually has a milk-to-espresso ratio of 1:2. That means 20 grams of espresso is 40 grams of milk. May contain some foam.

Latte

Latte contains more milk. Usually 1:3+ ratio. 20 grams of espresso is 60 grams or more of milk.

Mocha

Mocha is a mixture of chocolate with cappuccino or latte. Cafe mocha is made by mixing espresso, milk, and chocolate in a 1:1:1 ratio or a ratio of your choice. Every coffee shop uses a single ratio. And so the taste of each coffee shop is different.

Iced Cappuccino, Iced Latte, Iced Mocha, etc. are mixed with cold milk instead of hot milk with these flavors. Coffee shops usually do not mix sugar with coffee. Mix the sugar according to your choice. Many people do not like to eat a little too much or too little sugar. Best if eaten without sugar.

Apart from these, there are thousands of other coffee flavors. Ice cream, hazelnuts, caramel, vanilla, strawberries, brandy, whiskey, and many other things are mixed and served with espresso. Depending on this mix, each name is different.

So far I have written mainly about espresso. Now let's write about the coffee bean or coffee plant. There are two types of coffee available. One is Arabica and the other is Robusta.

Arabica coffee

Arabica coffees taste good. Compared to Robusta, they have lower caffeine content. Arabica coffee is also more expensive. Because they cost more to produce. Insects easily attack these Arabica plants.

Robusta

Robusta coffees are slightly bitter and contain more caffeine. The cost of Robusta coffee is relatively low.

Coffee roast

Coffee beans are usually roasted before being ground. If you roast too much, the coffee beans become dark. Some prefer low-roasted or light coffee beans, some prefer medium, and some prefer dark. The flavor of the coffee depends on this roasting. The caffeine content remains the same though.

Making coffee or espresso without an espresso machine

Coffee can be made at home by bringing powdered coffee beans. Very easily through a filter or French press. The filter is made of paper. If there is no filter, cloth can be used as a filter. And the French press is available to buy in the market. A small machine. The price is not too high.

If you use a filter, you need to grind a little more. After putting the coffee powder on the filter and pouring hot water slowly, the coffee will fall. After that, you can mix milk and sugar as you like and eat it.

French press is simply a coffee machine. Pour coffee powder and water and keep it for a while. Then a press separates the liquid coffee from the coffee powder. Simple. A little searching will turn up the French press. If you don't have it, you can go to any branch in North End and bring both French press and coffee. They will grind coffee beans in front of you. For grinding, you have to say how you use the coffee. One type of powder is required for the filter and one for the French press. And most espresso machines usually come with a coffee grinder. If you have an espresso machine, you only need to buy coffee beans.

The barista

Coffee experts are called baristas. A good barista is a good artist. You don't need to know how to make a coffee. Coffee tests well if temperature, measurement, and time are all correct.

Instant coffee

Many brands of instant coffee are available including Nescafe and MacCoffee, These are usually brewed the same way espresso is brewed. After brewing, the water is dried and powdered and packaged. They are however not as tasty compared to the taste of fresh brewed coffee. After consuming freshly brewed coffee, the desire to consume instant coffee will decrease.

Gold Purity and Color Guide: What's the Difference Between 24K, 22K, and 18K Gold?

Karat is the term used to measure gold content or purity. Before we understand the difference between 24K, 22K, and 18K gold, it is important to know what your carat is. Karat is a unit used to measure the purity of gold. The higher the carat, the purer the gold. Here is a simple guide to understanding the difference between 24K, 22K, and 18K gold.

24K gold

24k gold is called pure gold or 100 percent gold. This means that all 24 parts of gold are completely pure gold without any trace of other metals. It is known to be 99.9 percent pure and has a distinctive bright yellow color. Gold has no value higher than 24K and you need to be aware of this before you go to any dealer who tells you that they are selling you 25K or 26K gold. Since it is the purest form of gold, it is naturally more expensive than 22K or 18K gold. However, the density of this type of gold is less than that of low-karat gold, which makes it soft and malleable. Therefore, it is not suitable for general jewelry. Coins and bars are often bought in 24K gold purity. 24K gold is used in electronics and medical equipment, such as gold tympanostomy tubes used in children with ear infections, which are known to improve air quality in the middle ear.

22K gold

22K gold jewelry means that 22 parts of the jewelry is gold and the remaining two parts are some other metal. This type of gold is commonly used for making jewelry. Out of 100 percent of 22K gold, only 91.67 percent is pure gold. The remaining 8.33 percent is other metals such as silver, zinc, nickel, and other metals. The addition of these metals hardens the structure of the gold so that the jewelry is durable. However, you must know that although this gold can be used to make jewelry, 22K gold is not good for diamond and heavy jewelry-rich jewelry.

18K gold

18K gold is 75 percent gold mixed with 25 percent other metals such as copper or silver. Usually, heavy jeweled jewelry and other diamond jewelry are made of 18K gold. This type of gold is less expensive than 24K and 22K. This gold color is slightly dull. Recognizing 18K jewelry is fairly easy - you'll see an imprint of 18K, 18Kt, 18k, or similar on the item. Sometimes, 18K gold is stamped with the number 750, 0.75 or so used to symbolize 75 percent gold jewelry.

How is purity calculated?

In the West expressed in carat purity. For example, 24 k gold is expressed as 1000 parts of 1000 purity or purity of 1.000. A 22k would be 22 divided by 24 multiplied by 1000 which would give you a purity of 0.9166, a 21-carat would be 21 divided by 24 multiplied by 1000, which would be 0.875 purity, and likewise, an 18-carat would be 0.750 purity.

Different colors of gold

24 karat gold is pure gold's natural bright color and its color purity cannot be changed without changing from 24K. Other colors of gold can be created by changing the type of alloy in the jewelry. Rose gold, for example, is made by adding more copper to the gold alloy. Similarly, green gold is made with zinc and silver, and white gold with more nickel. Color can also be applied to gold by electroplating. But this can only be an upper beauty and will go away with time.

24 karat gold contains 24 parts of pure gold. 22 karat gold consists of 22 parts of gold and 2 parts of other metals added as alloys. 21 karat gold contains 21 parts gold and three parts other metals. 18 karat gold consists of 18 parts of pure gold and 6 parts of other metals. In the West expressed in carat purity. For example, 24 k gold is expressed as 1000 parts of 1000 purity or purity of 1.000. For 22k 22 divided by 24 multiplied by 1000 would give you a purity of 0.9166, 21 carat would be 21 divided by 24 multiplied by 1000, which would be 0.875 purity and likewise 18 carat would be 0.750 purity.

24 karat = 100% karat or pure gold

22 carat = 91.7% gold

18 carat = 75.0 % gold

14 carat = 58.3 % gold

12 carat = 50.0% gold

10 carat = 41.7% gold
