The cyanide

Arbendolondoaren (<em>Prunus dulcis</em>) loreak.
Arbendolondoaren (Prunus dulcis) loreak.José García Gabarrón.

There are animals faster than us. Most of them. Unlike us, they know very well which plants to eat and which ones not. Is this about us? Is that you, personally? To get rid of him on the mountain for a couple of weeks...

Among those who produce sweet fruits in the mountains and at home we find plant people of the genus Prunus with a lot: peach (Prunus persica), plum (Prunus domestica), eggplant (Prunus armeniaca), wild boar (Prunus avium), cherry (Prunus cerasus), brinodo (Prunus var. nectarina), rooster (Prunus mahaleb), lobster (Prunus padus), paraguayan (Prunus persica var. platycarpa), Portugal bouquet (Prunus lusitanica), cherry bouquet (Prunus 1980cerasus), black thorn (Prunus spinosa) and, if we pay attention to the name, the most delicious of all the arbendolond (Prunus dulcis).

The arbendola fruit of this arbendolondo, however, advises us to be a magician with this genus of plants and should attract our attention. I mean, bitter arbendolas. The whole genus of Prunus is poisonous; few or more are poisonous. And the mare people know it; our people don’t, but she does. This poison is called “Arbendola bitter” because it is perfectly summed up by the unique aromas and tastes that this bitter fruit has. The question of the daily dose of bitter arbendola that is said to have been used to kill the great Napoleon has been exposed in this corner for years.

Well, it's cyanide that has the bitter arbendola poison. Even these plant people who produce a lot of sweet fruits. Or should we say plant multitude? leaf, bark, wood, roots... If we bite the plant everywhere, we'll take cyanide. Horses, mules and donkeys, that is, mare people won’t bite you right away. It will be tasted by some crazy brute or foolish fool, apika, but soon you will receive the lesson of those around you, as well as learn to recognize the taste of the “bitter arbendolondo” and store it forever in your memory. Not all of them at all. In addition to cyanide poisoning, there are numerous suspicions that it may cause other serious ailments, here and there. In the United States, for example, some plants of this genus have found signs that MRLS causes abortion in the pregnant medium.

Winning gentlemen

The day exceeds the night with the spring equinox. This year it happened on 20 March, at 22:59 hours, opening the door of the spring. The Eki prefix means the same thing. Until then the night had been longer. The day and night were twelve hours. Since then, the day is extended... [+]

Climate change and landscape

Time has been on our line for a long time, but the climate is relatively recent. There is no need to clarify too much what climate change is. Explaining what the landscape is is a redder necessity. Conferences, round tables or international conferences on climate change are... [+]

It's time to pick up the fruits and get them on the way to the lagar. Pear (Pyrus communis), apple (Malus x domestica), grape (Vitis vinifera)... It seems a short and quick road, but you have to work a lot of rodeos and their variants until the fruit becomes must and must become... [+]

Eating everywhere

In the Basque Country, agriculture is the history of permanent colonization. Like everywhere. Before, the land was not cultivated; before, the harvest was not sown; you enjoyed what was not eaten before. They had brought it all from elsewhere. Many of these stories have been... [+]

Curve

Returning to the wines that are made with the crops, the left madreselva (Humulus lupulus) is conservative and bitter tasting aggregator. The union of crops and madreselvas produces many dirty jets, especially in beer countries. A friend has just explained to me the stories of... [+]

Madreselva

In our house we met him with the name of madreselva (Humulus lupulus). In fact, we have worked hard and sinister on the banks of the river in our country, coinciding with the expansion of beer. We've learned that it's also called lobster, beer, beer, wart and grass on the left... [+]

Ice in the wood
Ice has done its own thing: evil. At the end of April there have been large white ice cream which has not been seen for a long time. A work of satin but in sight, without any shame: cunning. It has rained terribly in the south of Euskal Herria.

Fireflies home
We have started a beautiful month of May. By the time we realize, we are on the longest days of the year. They will then be the shortest nights of the year, but with a unique show. I don't mean those furious feasts that sanctify the feasts. Fireflies are quieter.

Sweating with sweat
Plants are a big wave or a bomb. Big trees, needless to say, it has. A beech (Fagus sylvatica) with a meter and a half of a caravan needs about 400 liters of water a day to contain the metabolism. It has to find 400 liters of water somewhere, it develops a huge substrate to find... [+]

Getozka is cosmopolitan, Portulaca oleracea. We have traveled the world, knowingly or in word, and in many places it lives well. It's Norwegian and ubiquitous. Like all we know, we don't know very well where it is from. When we talk about plants, we have a terrible trend: this is... [+]
