I've just came back from my "citadel" harvesting these fruits.
Do you know their latin name and/or your local name ?
What you can do with them ? When is the right time to harvest?
I use them a lot, but I want to see if stackers are also "touching grass" and know how to live "from the land"...
2,100 sats paid
mirtilo. I ate a ton of that stuff this summer, fresh off the farm right near me. I got a few frozen ones to munch on this winter.
Vaccinium myrtillus or European blueberry
nope, look closer
If it ain't a myrtillus, it's gotta be 'abrunheiro-bravo' (Blackthorn, Prunus spinosa). We have that in Portugal too, but not around my way.
Right!
Now tell me what you can do with it and you get another CCs.
btw... their spines are fucking annoying!
You eat them. They are really tasty. But unless you live far up north you picked them too early. I think the folklore says to pick them after the first freeze. That's what we do.
Other use cases include jam (to use as a side for meat) and alcoholic beverages (wine or spirits).
Exactly that. We just had the first freeze. This year we have sooo many. Not every year are getting many fruits.
You know them well, yes I do a liquor and jam with them. Delicious.
Few years ago I made also some wine. Is not a strong wine but a curative wine due to high concentration of Vitamin C.
Nice! :)
We also have a lot around here, but have not had the first freeze yet.
It's gotta be useful for a lot, but all I know is you can make liqueur with it. I'd have to Google it to tell you more.
That doesn't count.
probably vaccines, yep, definitely, it's in the name, gotta be
or jam, but I kagi that
Are those huckleberries?
We have some in Canada but usually darker or even red ones.
Looks like blueberry to me. We have a few bushes at our citadel.
Vaccinium Angustifolium?
Harvest time varies by region but summer is what I expect you mean.
You eat them. Right off the bush or make a pie or cobbler with them. They are delicious and good for your body. Growing your own food is another act of rebellion against the state. Anything that makes you more independent and strong is a win against tyrannical overlords.
you are close but not so close...
indeed
Arándanos 😋
Se ven como los Arándanos 🫐
Arandanos son blueberries.
But is a wrong name to these.
@0xbitcoiner said the right name of them, but failed to say what you can do with.
So you know what you can do with them ?
Excelente, cada día se aprende algo nuevo, muchas gracias
