ughh i love these jasmine soymilk instant powder packets.. you just add not-quite-boiling water and maybe some sugar to the powder. once you stir it well a little foam develops on top of the main soymilk part. good jasmine flavor and aroma not overpowering not weak just right. lovely creamy alternative to tea but theyre too expensive at $7 for a box of 6. probably will only buy them as a special treat but what i really wanna do is experiment with recreating it at home

As part of the 'maker space,' they've set up a candle-making station. Candles are something easy for anyone to make with wax harvested from both the beehive and soybean plants and abundant scrap materials, and a great practical item to give away or trade.

A day spent candle-making at the community space, however, does often result in going home with a few good burns.

"Tch!!"

Navigating Regulatory Frameworks in the Mayonnaise Market

The Rise of Mayonnaise Market as a Condiment Powerhouse The Origins of Mayonnaise Mayonnaise originated in Mahón, Spain in 1764 when it was proposed as a way to stretch eggs for household budgets. Made with just egg yolks, olive oil, vinegar and salt, the emulsion spread quickly gained popularity across Europe. By the early 19th century, French chefs had refined mayonnaise and it became a staple in French cuisine. In this article, we will discuss the history, types, preparation methods and the global mayonnaise market outlook. The Growth of Commercial Mayonnaise Production The Industrial Revolution drove mechanization and standardized recipes emerged. In 1906, a cook in Nashville successfully developed a commercial eggless mayonnaise using soybean and cottonseed oils. This allowed large-scale production and opened the floodgates for new brands. Two of the largest players today, Hellmann's and Kraft, were founded in the early 1900s. Sales boomed in the postwar economic growth era of the 1950s as refrigeration made mayonnaise more convenient. Jars outsold bulk at grocery stores. Health Conscious Trends Drive Innovation Concerns around artery-clogging saturated fats in the late 20th century took a toll on mayonnaise. Companies responded with new light and fat-free varieties using ingredients like canola oil. As consumers sought cleaner labels, brands ditched artificial preservatives and added unique ingredients like avocado or sriracha to draw interest. Emerging startups met demand for organic, non-GMO, vegan and gluten-free options. Mayo categories now span traditional to specialty flavors and formulations. Filling a Versatile Role in Global Cuisines Mayonnaise is used for much more than sandwiches across world cuisines. In Japanese cooking it’s paired with tonkatsu or karaage to add richness. Aïoli garlicky mayo is quintessential in Provençal dishes. Aioli seasonings vary globally from Mediterranean to Spanish to Brazilian varieties. Indonesians created “mayo” recipes with peanuts. Americans slather mayo on everything from chips to coleslaw to potato salads at picnics and barbecues. Versatility makes mayonnaise a top-selling condiment worldwide in grocery stores and restaurants. The Rise of Artisanal Producers As with other foods, artisans saw opportunities in mayonnaise’s popularity. Boutique brands crop up emphasizing transparency and high-quality sourcing. Boutique ingredients set specialty mayos apart - Meyer lemon, chipotle peppers, wasabi, porcini mushrooms. Customized flavor profiles appeal to adventurous home chefs and upscale restaurants. Online marketplace growth connects small batch makers to a worldwide audience. While commodity mayo dominates supermarket shelves, artisanal varieties carve profitable niches with affluent consumers seeking locally-made gourmet products. The Growth of Mayo Imports and Exports As globalization grows ingredient trades, mayonnaise markets expanded internationally. Germany exports mayonnaise production technology. Asian and Latin American markets proved eager for Western condiments and familiar brands gained footing. Meanwhile, the U.S. imports tons of mayo annually from Mexico, Canada and Europe for various price points. Emerging markets in the Middle East and Africa also represent rising demand. Overall the $2 billion global mayonnaise industry continues scaling up with steady consumption and trade worldwide.

The Unseen Consequences: How Green Policies and Globalism Are Harming American Agriculture

Farmers Warn of Impending Crisis as Green Policies and Globalism Threaten US Agriculture

American farmers are sounding the alarm about the hidden costs of globalist "green" policies and rising costs, which they argue are leading to a decline in U.S. agriculture. While events like the Pennsylvania Farm Show and Iowa State Fair continue to draw crowds, farmers reveal that beneath the surface, there are troubling signs. Thinner herds, farm foreclosures, and rising input costs are creating a potential domestic food crisis that could affect every American. As farmers struggle to stay afloat, they argue that the government is neglecting American agriculture while providing financial aid to farmers abroad. This article explores the concerns raised by farmers and sheds light on the unseen consequences of sustainability policies and globalism on American agriculture.

Farmers Facing Extinction:

John Boyd Jr., founder of the Black Farmers of America, warns that American beef cattle producers are depleting their herds, resulting in a one billion pound decrease in U.S. beef production over the past year. Boyd emphasizes that this trend could lead to an impending crisis that will be felt by every American at their local grocery store or butcher. He criticizes the lack of support from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for American farmers facing foreclosure, contrasting it with financial aid provided to farmers abroad. Boyd, who farms soybeans, grain, and cattle, highlights the combination of adverse public policy and higher input costs as major challenges for Black farmers like himself, pushing them towards extinction.

The Biden Administration's Failure:

Boyd points out that the Biden administration has failed to address the issues facing American agriculture. He highlights the spike in diesel fuel prices, which has added to the financial burden faced by farmers. Boyd argues that the lack of government support and failure to address these challenges are forcing farmers off their land. He stresses the need for the Biden administration to prioritize American agriculture and take action to address the concerns raised by farmers.

The Attack on Beef and Agriculture:

Host Laura Ingraham draws attention to media narratives that demonize beef production and agriculture. She references a recent PBS expose on methane emissions from cattle and their "high-fiber diet," which portrayed beef as one of the least climate-friendly food sources. Ingraham also highlights comments made by Biden Climate Czar John Kerry, who claimed that agriculture contributes to one-third of all harmful emissions. She suggests that these narratives indicate a global push to shrink the agriculture sector itself. Ingraham further reveals that the U.S. cattle population is currently at its lowest point since the 1970s, raising concerns about the negative repercussions of these policies.

The Globalist Agenda:

Shad Sullivan, a rancher in Texas, argues that globalism is the overarching issue affecting American agriculture. He asserts that global elites use climate change as a pretext to impose sustainability regulations that control production and consumption worldwide. Sullivan warns that these regulations would cripple Western agriculture and accuses corporate agricultural interests of investing in alternatives to beef and pork, such as insect consumption. While Tyson Foods has invested in a Dutch insect ingredient maker, the company's CFO clarifies that their focus is on ingredient application rather than consumer application. Sullivan emphasizes that these challenges are fundamentally about liberty and freedom, urging a united effort to resist the globalist agenda. The concerns raised by American farmers shed light on the unseen consequences of green policies and globalism on U.S. agriculture. Thinning herds, farm foreclosures, and rising costs are threatening the stability of American food production. While events like the Pennsylvania Farm Show and Iowa State Fair continue to celebrate agriculture, the underlying challenges faced by farmers demand urgent attention. The Biden administration must prioritize American agriculture and address the concerns raised by farmers to ensure a sustainable and thriving future for the nation's food supply. As the debate surrounding sustainability and globalism intensifies, it is crucial to strike a balance that supports both environmental stewardship and the livelihoods of American farmers.

Certainly! Here's a simple Soy Milk recipe that you can make using a soy milk maker, presented in English:

Homemade Soy Milk Recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup of dried soybeans

6 cups of water (for soaking)

4 cups of water (for blending)

Instructions:

Soak the Soybeans: Place the dried soybeans in a large bowl and cover them with about 6 cups of water. Let them soak overnight, or for at least 8 to 12 hours. They will expand, so make sure there’s enough water.

Rinse and Drain: After soaking, rinse the soybeans under cold running water and drain them.

Blend the Soybeans: Add the soaked soybeans and 4 cups of water to the soy milk maker. If your soy milk maker is manual, blend the soybeans and water together until smooth before adding them to the machine.

Start the Soy Milk Maker: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific soy milk maker. Usually, you'll just need to press the start button on the "soy milk" setting.

Strain the Soy Milk: Once the cycle is complete, strain the soy milk through a cheesecloth or a nut milk bag into a large pitcher or bowl to remove the soy pulp (okara). Squeeze out as much milk as possible.

Flavor (Optional): At this point, you can flavor your soy milk if you like. Common additions include vanilla extract, sugar, or a pinch of salt. Blend or stir in your chosen flavorings to taste.

Boil the Soy Milk: Transfer the strained soy milk to a large pot and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Be sure to stir it occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom. Once it boils, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 2 minutes.

Cool and Store: Let the soy milk cool to room temperature, then transfer it to airtight containers and refrigerate. Homemade soy milk will keep for about 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator.

Enjoy your homemade soy milk! It's perfect for drinking straight, adding to coffee or tea, or using in various recipes. Making soy milk at home allows you to control the ingredients and avoid preservatives and additives found in commercial soy milk.

Top Pulp Supplier Warns Prices Set to Soar on Brazil Land Battle

The world’s largest supplier of pulp is preparing for a spike in the cost of the commodity amid surging land prices in Brazil. 

Pulp makers face fierce competition with other agricultural producers, prompting Suzano SA to search for “new frontiers” to plant eucalyptus trees and harvest wood, Chief Executive Officer Walter Schalka said in an interview.  

“I don’t think the price of pulp in the next 10 years will be the same. It will be higher,” Schalka said ahead of his company’s 100-year anniversary on Monday. “Agribusiness has grown at a very fast pace. Technology also increased and allowed products like soybeans and corn to enter areas in which they weren’t competitive in the past.”

Demand for pulp is growing because the world increasingly is using the kind produced in South America. The region’s eucalyptus-based product is entering new niches, such as absorbent products like diapers that previously were exclusive to more premium fiber harvested from trees in the Northern Hemisphere. Today no other country in the world ships more pulp overseas than Brazil. 

Suzano’s data show a 62% increase in the price of land in Brazil in the past five years. That also boosted the price of wood, which almost doubled in the period, the company said.

All About Candle Wax

Hello Everyone, Welcome back to the Healing Aroma Candle blog! If you are new here, I am Danielle, and this blog is where I will be sharing tips and tricks all about candle making. I will also be sharing my journey with my own candle company and maybe help other candle makers in theirs. Today's post is about candle wax!

What wax should candlemakers use for their candles? Choosing the correct wax for candle makers is simple once they decide what candle they want to create. Once you've decided what candle you will make, it's time to choose the wax. Here are our recommendations for the best wax based on the type of candle you are going to make. 

Pillars, Votive, Tarts

When it comes to pillar or votive candles and wax melts (tarts), harder wax is the best because the candle will burn slower and hold its form longer. Some popular waxes for these candles are soy, paraffin, and beeswax. You can also use blended wax, like Parasoy wax, which will make the candle less susceptible to dents. 

Soy wax is 100% natural wax made from hydrogenated soybean oil. For these candles, soy wax comes in white, odorless pellets. Working fast with this wax is important because it cools very quickly.

Paraffin wax is a white or colorless, solid, odorless slab of wax. It’s made from saturated hydrocarbons and it has a soft texture. You can cut the slab into flakes. Candles made with paraffin wax have an amazing fragrance throw and the possibilities for using dyes are endless.   

Beeswax is another 100% natural wax with a slow and clean burn and has a sweet aroma. This wax is available in white and yellow. Beeswax can be used with pillar candles or container candles.

Container Candles

Candles in containers require container wax. This wax is used in a heat-resistant container and has a softer consistency. Soy and paraffin waxes are common in container candles. But you can use coconut wax or wax blends. When these waxes cool, they will adhere to any candle-safe container. 

Soy container wax is a white flaky form. Soy wax has a low melting point and a smooth texture. It also has a good scent-throw. Paraffin wax has a high melting point along with beeswax. Beeswax is also known for its ability to purify the air. 

Coconut Wax is a natural colorless and odorless wax with a smooth texture and has a high melting point. Coconut wax is made from cold-pressing coconut meat. With a clean burn, Coconut wax holds fragrance and color very well and is easy to blend with soy, paraffin wax, or beeswax. When ordering coconut wax, read the labels to see what candle type to make (container or pillar).

Blended wax

Why mix different waxes? Wax blends can help candle makers get results that may not be possible with only one wax. By combining different waxes, candle makers can create a custom wax blend to have specific properties they desire. With all the wax being so similar, I suggest you try them all and see what works for you. Have fun!
