pstp food garden 30 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... , 30a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... , Pumpkin seed oil (Kernöl or Kürbiskernöl in German, bučno olje in Slovenian, bučino ulje or bundevino ulje in Serbian and Croatian, and tökmag-olaj in Hungarian), a culinary specialty of south eastern Austria (Styria), eastern Slovenia (Styria and Prekmurje), north western Croatia (esp. Međimurje), adjacent regions of Hungary, is a European Union Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) product. Today the oil is an important export commodity of Austrian and Slovenian parts of Styria. It is made by pressing roasted, hulled pumpkin seeds (pepitas), from a local variety of pumpkin, the "Styrian oil pumpkin" (Cucurbita pepo var. styriaca, also known as var. oleifera). It has been produced and used in Styria's southern parts at least since the 18th century. The earliest confirmed record of oil pumpkin seeds in Styria (from the estate of a farmer in Gleinstätten) dates to February 18, 1697. The viscous oil is light to very dark green to dark red in colour depending on the thickness of the observed sample. The oil appears green in thin layer and red in thick layer. Such optical phenomenon is called dichromatism.[1] Pumpkin oil is one of the substances with strongest dichromatism. Its Kreft's dichromaticity index is -44.[2] Used together with yoghurt, the colour turns to bright green and is sometimes referred to as "green-gold". , sort http://www.nytimes.com/1998... , http://www.pumpkinseedoil.com/ , http://www.tourmycountry.com/austria... , http://www.reach.net/~schere... , http://idigmygarden.com/forums... , http://www.uni-graz.at/~katzer... , http://www.uni-graz.at/~katzer... , http://www.seedsanctuary.com/squash... , http://www.actahort.org/books... , http://www.alibaba.com/product... , http://www.facebook.com/l... , 30r Pepita Recipes http://www.chow.com/recipes... pstp 11 -7 http://www.drinkwaterkitchen.com/2010... http://foodists.ca/2010... 80s http://www.google.com/search... , http://www.bikudo.com/buy... , http://www.madeinchina.com/2685361... , http://www.tradekey.com/ks-seed... , http://www.zsqts.com.cn/Pumpkin... , http://www.cheaponsale.com/d-c1165... , http://www.nytimes.com/2010... , http://www.nytimes.com/2010... , http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2010... , http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2010... , - Thomas Page

Balsam apple / Momordica charantia, called bitter melon or bitter gourd in English, is a tropical and subtropical vine of the family Cucurbitaceae, widely grown in Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean for its edible fruit, which is among the most bitter of all fruits. There are many varieties that differ substantially in the shape and bitterness of the fruit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... , http://evergreenseeds.stores.y... , 5 -13 http://www.bitter-gourd.org/health-... 2 -3 Balsam_apple http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Thomas Page

(old world) Melon Humankind has been eating melons for more than 4,000 years. Surprisingly, melons have never been found growing in the wild—other than escapees from someone's garden. Melons are believed to have originated in the hot valleys of southwest Asia—specifically Iran (Persia) and India. Early American settlers grew cultivars of honeydew and casaba melons back in the 1600s. Yet, only in recent times, many more varieties are available, often out of season in grocery stores. The first documented use of the word "melon" was about 1395. John Ayto's Dictionary of Word Origins suggests that the word is derived from Melos (the Greek Cyclades Islands, best known for the Venus de Milo). Melons wend their way into literature. According to one hadith, Prophet Muhammad is reported to have said: "Whenever you eat fruit, eat melon, because it is the fruit of Paradise and contains a thousand blessings and a thousand mercies. The eating of it cures every disease."[5] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://agro.biodiver.se/2011...

Cucurbitacin is any of a class of biochemical compounds that some plants — notably members of the family Cucurbitaceae, that includes the common pumpkins and gourds — developed in order to defend themselves from herbivores. Cucurbitacins are chemically classified as steroids, formally derived from cucurbitane, a triterpene hydrocarbon — specifically, from the unsaturated variant cucurbita-5-ene, or 19-(10→9β)-abeo-10α-lanost-5-ene. They often occur as glycosides.[1] Cucurbitacins are generally cytotoxic and poisonous to some animals, and some of them are among the bitterest tastes to humans. They and their derivatives have been found in many plant families (including Brassicaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Scrophulariaceae, Begoniaceae, Elaeocarpaceae, Datiscaceae, Desfontainiaceae, Polemoniaceae, Primulaceae, Rubiaceae, Sterculiaceae, Rosaceae, and Thymelaeaceae), in some mushrooms (including Russula and Hebeloma) and even in some marine mollusks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... , 6 -13 Cucurbitacin E http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... 2 -1 JAK-STAT signaling pathway http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://friendfeed.com/citizen... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Thomas Page
