Consumption of olive oil has steadily increased worldwide over the last 25 years. In fact, Australian consumption of olive oil has tripled since 1991. A portion of the increased consumption can be attributed to consumer interest in “heart-healthy” products. Many believe that olive oil is a healthier alternative to other cooking oils due to the high content of monounsaturated fats. Monounsaturated fats may reduce the risk of stroke and heart disease. In addition, the antioxidants found in olive oils are believed to reduce inflammation in the body.
Like the production of wine, the steps in olive oil processing can vary depending on the desired qualities of the final product. In all cases, processing starts with raw olives. Olives grown for oil production have different flavour profiles and oil content based on the maturity of the olives. Young, green olives typically have strong, bitter flavours but yield less oil compared to mature olives. Mature olives demonstrate mellow flavours and lower antioxidant concentrations than young olives, but yield more oil.
When harvesting, it is important to find a balance between flavour and oil yield.
Harvested olives are crushed to produce a paste, which undergoes a process called “malaxation.” This process involves churning and heating the paste to 27 to 30°C for a period of 20 to 60 minutes in order to release more oil and extract flavour from the olive solids. Overheating the mixture can lead to oxidation and a reduced shelf life of the final product. As an alternative, “cold extraction” may be utilised which omits heating the paste. Next, the oil is separated from the mixture typically through centrifugation. If necessary, the oil is then stored in tanks or barrels to allow additional particulates to settle out by gravity. Finally, the oil may be filtered to increase clarity.
In an effort to avoid mislabeling olive oils, the International Olive Oil Council and Standards Australia (AS 5264-2011) have created standards for grading olive oil based on chemical and sensory properties. According to the standards, Extra Virgin Olive Oil must have a free fatty acid (FFA) content of less than 0.8%, while Virgin Olive Oil must contain less than 2% FFA. Olive oil labelled neither extra virgin nor virgin often incorporate refined olive oil. Refined Olive Oil is virgin olive oil that undergoes additional processing to correct defects such as high acidity and/ or poor taste. Due to the strict standards in olive oil labelling, oil testing is critical in ensuring that the oil matches the label claim.
An olive oil manufacturer contacted best pc poker games Instruments interested in testing their olive oil for free fatty acids. They already had a testing lab set up and wanted an accurate way to quantify the acidity of their product. best pc poker games Instruments suggested the HI902 Automatic Titrator.
The free fatty acids titration requires a non-aqueous solvent, so best pc poker games suggested the HI1043B Refillable Double Junction pH Electrode. The HI1043B’s refillable design allows the user to replace the internal electrolyte. In this case, the customer used a lithium chloride in isopropanol electrolyte instead of the conventional potassium chloride in water. The use of a non-aqueous electrolyte provided a quicker and more stable electrode response, shortening the speed of the titration.
The chemically resistant materials of the burette (PTFE valve and tubing) provided the customer peace of mind that their alcohol-based titrant would not damage the equipment. The customer appreciated the large data storage capacity of the titrator which allowed them to easily track the acid content of multiple batches. In addition, the flexibility in configuring the method options gave the customer full control over their testing and enabled them to optimise their titrations to increase overall efficiency. As a result, the HI902 proved to be an excellent fit for the customer’s needs.

Season Coming to a Close
Saturday, July 14 will be the last day for u-pick blueberries at Outback Farm for the 2018 season. There are no pre-picked blueberries available, sold the last gallon just this morning. Thanks to each and every one of you for making this a great season!
It's Blueberry Pickin' Time
At Outback Farm in Pryor, OK it's time to pick the best ever blueberries. Our first official picking day for the 2018 season was May 31st and we've been going strong ever since. Blueberries came little later than years past and that allowed some of our blueberry fans to enjoy the daily fresh cut asparagus also available at Outback Farm.
"Dukes" are the first of our blueberry varieties to ripen. They are plump and delicious...especially when chilled. The blues, that is, Bluegold, Bluecrop and Bluejay are the next to ripen. I'm told the Bluejays are particularly sweet this year, give them a taste when you come out. Other varieties will be coming along shortly so if you have a favorite stay tuned to see when they will be ready to pick.

When I started hosting family holidays and celebrations, it was very important to me to have everyone feel included. That meant planning meals for people with celiac, vegetarians, vegans and food allergies. Celiacs were easy. I’m allergic to gluten so I’ve had a lot of practice baking gluten-free treats. The most difficult challenge was trying to make charoset for passover without apples or nuts. Charoset is an important part of the passover seder representing the mortar that enslaved Jews used to build the pharaohs’ buildings. Our traditional recipe has been handed down for generations and is essentially the same for most Jews of Ashkenazi descent. For a non-allergenic version I had to find something with the crunch and sweetness of apples and the earthy flavor of walnuts. Here’s our traditional recipe and the allergen free version.

Beans and other legumes help keep your body shape with the content of phytonutrients, magnesium, and potassium is abundant in it that can act as bruleur de graisse(fat burner). Beans can increase metabolism and burn fat faster. Beans also an excellent source of antioxidants that help to remove toxins from the body.
The content of folic can fight insulin resistance. While the tin mineral helps increase the production of leptin, a hormone that serves to remind the brain when the stomach is feeling full. Although known as an appetite enhancer in bruleur de graisse(fat burner), chili turns including vegetables that can help burn fat in the body. This become bruleur de graisse(fat burner) because chili peppers contain capsaicin, the spicy chili flavoring. This bruleur de graisse(fat burner) compound is a thermogenic that is able to increase the body temperature thus increasing the burning of calories and fat.
Jong Won Yun, biotechnology expert from Daegu University, Korea, reported that capsaicin can reduce calories, diluting the fat tissue, and lowering fat levels in the blood. Research conducted at University of California also shows that consumption of chilies can help increase metabolism and act as bruleur de graisse(fat burner).

Difference between ice-cream, gelato and sorbet ?
August 20th, 2013
Ice-cream, gelato and sorbet, all 3 can be made at home. Mentioned below are some quick and easy recipes which can be tried at home.
Ice cream is frozen desert made from milk and cream . It has a lot many different flavors including fruits, coffee, chocolate, mint etc, depending upon the preference. Air is incorporated in the mixture during the whipping process and it makes it light and fluffy.
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup milk
2/3 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Chocolate chip/chopped walnuts/peanuts (optional)
1. Combine cream, milk, sugar, vanilla extract in a sauce pan and heat until sugar is dissolved.
2. Add chocolate chip or any other nut at this stage.
3. Freeze the mixture in an air tight container for 6 hours then take out the mixture and churn it in an ice-cream maker as per the machines instructions.
4. Freeze the ice-cream once again for 12 hours. Ice-cream is ready to be served when chilled completely.
It is the Italian version of the ice-cream. Gelato and ice-cream have the same basic ingredients including milk and cream but Gelato is more dense then ordinary ice-cream and has more intense flavors. Its recipe also includes egg yolks which gives it a more dense texture. It requires less air in its whipping process.
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
4 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
2 cups full cream milk
1 2″-piece cinnamon stick
Pinch of salt
6 egg yolks
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1. Heat 3/4 cup sugar, cinnamon and butter in wide saucepan until sugar melts and it becomes crisp. Let it cool and break into small pieces.
2. Now combine milk , cinnamon stick and salt and bring to a boil and let it cool for 20 min.
3. Whisk remaining sugar and egg yolks.
4. Mix together the egg mixture, cream, vanilla and milk and return the saucepan over medium heat and cook until mixture thickens.
5. Freeze the Gelato before churning it in the ice cream maker for 6 hours.
6. Fold in the crispy cinnamon sugar pieces.Gelato is ready when chilled.
Sorbet is also a frozen dessert but very different from ice-cream and gelato. It is made from fruit puree and sometimes might include the flavorings of different herbs and spices. Sorbet is also whipped which makes it lighter , but there is no milk in the recipe.
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 Lemon zest
1/2 cup lemon juice
1. Heat sugar water and lemon zest in a sauce pan until sugar is completely dissolved. Turn off the heat.
2. Now cut the mangoes in small cubes and put it the blender along with sugar water, lemon juice and salt and blend until smooth.
3. Pour the mixture in an air tight container and refrigerate for 12 hours. Sorbet is ready to be served when chilled.
Hope this answers your question.

I didn't take any pictures of soup last night, but got a couple requests for me to post what I made. Here goes nothing!
Fast & Easy Black Bean Soup
2 slices bacon
1 bell pepper (I used a few small snacking peppers from Costco)
3 - 4 cloves garlic
2 cans black beans
1/2 - 1 cup chicken broth
1/2 tsp. cumin
pinch of red pepper flakes
salt and pepper
- Chop bacon and fry up in a soup stockpot. While bacon is cooking, chop the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. When bacon is fairly crisp, add onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for a few minutes.
- While ingredients are sautéing, take one can of black beans, drain, and blitz with some chicken stock. I used a pyrex container and a hand blender, but you can use a food processor or blender for this. Pour into pot with the vegetables.
- Open other can of beans and dump into pot. I didn't bother draining them, but you can if you like. If you like your soup thinner, add more chicken broth now.
- Add cumin, red pepper flakes and salt and pepper to taste. I actually went a little crazy here and added a splash of soy sauce, worcestershire sauce, and a teeny bit of dijon mustard.
- While the soup heated up and simmered for a couple minutes, I heated up a couple tortillas in a little olive oil to make them slightly crispy for soup dipping.
- Enjoy! :)

Anthony Bourdain and Danny Bowien
Thursday, Oct. 5, 2017
Join award–winning author, TV host, producer and former chef, Anthony Bourdain, and James–Beard winning chef and Co–Founder of Mission Chinese, Danny Bowien, as they discuss one of the most pressing issues of our time: global food waste. "WASTED! The Story of Food Waste" is a feature–length documentary that will change how people buy, cook and eat food. Every year, 1.3 billion tons of food is thrown out. That’s $218 billion worth of food produced for human consumption that never gets eaten. With one–third of the world’s food being thrown away even before it reaches the plate, it’s time to shed new light on what is food and what is garbage. Join Kim Severson, a Southern–based correspondent for The Times who covers the nation’s food culture, in conversation with Bourdain and Bowien as they embark on a food revolution. This event is presented in collaboration with The New School Food Studies Program.

You can use metal forming to create a mold for baking little cakes. These pans were developed for baking lots of Twinkies.
The technique for this project came from an Instructable. This showed how to make the pan, but didn’t go into the process for producing many of them. It also gave a good recipe for baking the cakes. In a separate session, I experimented with an angel food cake mix, which was not as good as the yellow cake mix indicated in the instructable above. For a baking instruction that does not use any mixes, see Hilah Cooking’s version of the project.
When everything was going properly, it took approximately three minutes to make each pan from prepared materials.
There are photos of this project.

Grocery Store – Definition
A grocery store means a full-scale supermarket or neighbourhood market where at least 5,000 gross interior square feet are dedicated to products which shall include each of the following categories: fresh meat, fresh produce, fresh dairy products, baked goods, toiletries, baby food, and diapers, cleaning products, paper towels, and toilet paper, beverages, canned vegetables, and fruits, cooking oils, flour, sugar, and frozen foods.
The following full-service supermarket chains shall automatically qualify for these points: AJ’s Fine Foods, Albertsons, Bachas’ Grocery Stores, Costco, Fry’s Food and Drug, Food City, IGA, Los Altos Ranch Market, Safeway, Sam’s Club, Sprouts Farmers Market, Walmart Supercentre, Walmart Neighbourhood Market, Whole Foods Market and WinCo Foods.
More Definitions of a Grocery store
A grocery store means a store that devotes seventy per cent (70%) or more of its business to retailing a broad range of food products, which may be fresh or packaged. There is a rebuttable belief that if a store receives seventy per cent (70%) or more revenue from retailing a broad range of food products, it qualifies as a grocery store. A grocery store is a retail facility that sells food products. This includes but is not limited to establishments commonly known as supermarkets, food stores, grocery stores, food warehouses, and any other food merchandising stores.
The Importance of Grocery Stores in the Community
Grocery shopping is an essential component of our day-to-day life, although selecting the right foods can be challenging. So, converting just any food shopping to healthy grocery shopping is vital for somebody who needs to stay healthy. The tips below will help you to advance your quality of health.
The food business is in a cycle of change from farm to table – whether it’s blowing up the Memphis barbecue stereotype or how we get our groceries.
All parts of that chain are found in Memphis’s business and culture. This is where Clarence Saunders innovated the modern supermarket concept with self-service Piggly Wiggly stores, a new experience for shoppers using a neighbourhood grocer to fill their orders and have them ready for pickup or doorstep delivery. We’ve come full circle in many ways: With a few clicks of a mouse, we can order groceries online and – depending on the service – either pick them up at the store or have them delivered to our homes.
The latest evolution in the grocery-buying process isn’t an improvement for us. Supermarkets are opening in clustered areas, pockets of activity where customers can choose from several grocers, depending on their preference or selection. Meanwhile, other city areas are classified as food deserts because they lack access to a retail source of a wide variety of food – mainly produce and other fresh products. This isolation is made worse in our city by the lack of a viable and vibrant public transportation system.
Grocery Store and will Make Things Informal than Ever Before:
When Kroger closed its stores in Southgate and Orange Mound earlier this year, it became even more evident how important these businesses are to a community’s ability to sustain itself and grow. The closings also demonstrated companies’ hard decisions in an industry where profit margins are historically narrow. As a result, it doesn’t take a lot of losses to force action by the front office.
As those stores closed, new experiments that are more grocery stores than supermarkets are underway in Binghamton, along with existing templates like the South Memphis Farmers Market, which works with grocers as suppliers for a limited range of products that the market otherwise couldn’t offer at competitive prices.
These are smaller-scale operations that don’t have all of the bells and whistles of a big-box supermarket where shoppers can buy everything they need in one location. Food is not just any business. It’s one of those businesses that have a relationship with the growth of a community. Existing growth, along with the potential for more, draws the interest of business owners. And their presence guarantees even more welfare and development.
How to Operate a Successful Grocery Store
A grocery store is just a retail shop that sells food in bulk. As much as the business doesn’t need intensive start-up capital and is easy to venture into, grocery retailing happens to be one of the most competitive businesses, especially in the United States. Therefore, making a success out of a grocery business will require a high level of promise and patience.
If you’ve already started your grocery corporate and are looking for ways to make it effective or are a first-time investor, this article will be pretty helpful. Before we can delve into the rules of operating a successful grocery store, let’s first look at a few factors before starting one.
A Successful Target in Grocery Store
You need to have a target client, have a good location for your new business, know the required amount of capital, and settle on the formation of your grocery store. Like every other business, the supplies are pretty much the same. You need to know all the necessary expenses to keep your store running, and of course, you need to have all the right documentation for your business to run smoothly. For instance, is it a partnership, a company, or a single proprietorship?
Some of the legal supplies you’ll need to start a grocery store include a Federal Employment ID Number (EIN), a business license and a certificate of incorporation. An insurance policy, an employment agreement, and a non-disclosure agreement. It is, however, essential to a letter that these rules vary affording to state.
Tips for Grocery Store Success
Inventory management – Managing grocery retail supply cables can be stimulating and lead to huge losses if ignored. To successfully achieve your store’s inventory,
you Need To:
- Order the goods you value most.
- When placing orders, don’t overlook the creation’s sill life label.
- Individually, achieve each product.
- Use software or spreadsheets to shape all data.
Marketing strategy by Grocery Store
Implementing a good marketing plan is a big step toward success. You can appeal to customers in your grocery store by leveraging promotions. However, you’ll have to be cautious not to incur losses. You might as well create a social media platform where you can communicate with customers and also advertise your store. An excellent example of such online venues is Libro Food Products. The platform features different foods and even goes as far as detailing their benefits.
Customer service – Making sure your customers feel welcomed and appreciated is essential to your grocery’s success. Train your staff well so that they can exceed customer expectations. Employ people who are approachable and have good massage skills. Provide uniforms to all your employees so that regulars can quickly identify them.
Keeping clean – No one would want to walk into a dirty grocery store flowing with flies and bugs. Keep your store clean and well-arranged, not just to create a welcoming environment for your customers but also to maintain the hygiene and health of your employees, your customers, and yourself. Difference Between a Grocery Store and Suitability Store
While both convenience and grocery supplies stock food and packaged consumer goods, their approach to staffing, store design, and product mix are significantly different. Suitability stores are geared toward short shopping trips for one or just a few items. At the same time, grocery pricing and logistics encourage extensive shopping trips to stock up on food and household supplies.
Grocery and suitability stores have different tasks. Grocery stores are an endpoint for consumers who need to obtain food and household products for everyday use and special occasions. The wide selection of products and brands and high inventory levels allow consumers to shop for goods their households may need for a significant period. Large, wheeled carts exist at the store entry, anticipating that shoppers will fill them with enough food to last a week or more.
The Convenience Store
On the other hand, convenience stores meet the needs of consumers who need one or two harvests right away. The lack of shop carts, for example, speaks volumes about how suitable stores operate: There is no need for a coach. As most clients will only buy a few items and can easily carry them up to the cash list.
Store Size: Usually, convenience stores have what is known in the retail industry as a “small footprint.” The regular convenience store size is around 2400 ft.² – whereas the average grocery store in the United States is about 45,000 ft.². It should be noted. However, store sizes vary, and there is some evidence that U.S. grocery stores may decrease in size.
Store hours: Convenience stores are often open every day. However, some do close throughout the late night and early morning hours. Still, one can usually imagine these stores to be available very early in the morning and close late at night. In addition, suitability stores are also often open on holidays.
While There are many Supermarkets and Big Box Stores that are Themselves open 24 Hours a Day.
Store staffing: Typically, grocery stores have multiple till lanes and registers. A large staff that includes store and department managers, and workers in speciality departments. Such as the deli or meat counter, cashiers and stockroom workers.
Typically, convenience stores have a small staff and only one or two employees on duty at any one time. Although some stores may have extra than one record at a standard checkout counter. Many stores only need one register as customers generally purchase only one or two items.
Location and parking in Grocery Store
Convenience provisions locate on small lots or storefronts in strip malls or other profitable buildings. They are easily nearby by car and on foot. Parking lots are small, allowing regulars to exit their vehicles and head directly into the store. Some suitability stores are attached to gas stations, increasing time reserves.
Grocery stores often have much larger parking loads and might be part of a large cluster of retail stores. The large space lots may require patrons to walk out and into the store for several minutes.
Pricing: Suitability store prices are almost always higher than what a customer would pay at a traditional grocery store. The best pricing reflects the added value of buying something quickly. Although grocery stores command more faithfulness from repeat and large volume customers due to their more competitive price points.
Product assortment: Convenience store product varieties are limited to items people are likely to need while commuting, travelling, or when their household supply runs out. On the other hand, grocery stores offer a wide range of products in all of their categories, including fresh foods. Ready foods household products and personal care.
Brand and Size Diversity in Grocery Store
It’s not uncommon for traditional grocery stores to offer some brands within a minimal product category. For example, grocery store drops often hold several different brands of peanut butter. There may be numerous types of peanut butter within each brand, such as creamy, crunchy, and no-added-sugar. These make varieties may also be available in many sizes.
By contrast, a convenience store will carry only one variety of creamy peanut butter. The same is true for other harvests, such as dish soap, shampoo, or diapers.
Hot foods and prepared meals: Typically, convenience stores sell hot and ready-to-eat foods, such as hot dogs, nachos, pre-made sandwiches, and salads. In addition, stores frequently sell frozen starters and snacks that reheat in the store’s microwave. Fountain drinks and hot brown are also always existing.
Over the past period, the retail industry has felt a massive sea-change in the United States and worldwide. Consumers are more comfortable with home delivery of groceries, which may eventually contribute to smaller grocery store set-ups. Many consumers are too more health-conscious and are suspicious of prepared and managed foods in convenience stores. This has led some stores to offer a healthier range of products, including more fresh fruit. Vegetarian options, and boutique snacks, such as vegetable chips or high-protein cookies.

Ahh, cute little egg muffins. Quite possibly one of my easiest and yummiest breakfasts. This is really the type of recipe that falls within the "make it your own" ... but I'm happy to share the version of egg muffins I make the most (and then how I eat it).
Ingredients for egg muffins:
- 10-12 eggs, all depends on the amount of other ingredients (for my recipe, I used 10 eggs because I had a lot of fillers)
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- ½ yellow onion
- 8 pieces of prosciutto
- 2 cups shredded parmesan cheese
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
Ingredients for refried beans:
- 1 can of pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 small shallot, diced
- 32oz container of chicken stock
- Olive oil
Directions for eggs:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Lightly grease a muffin pan. Divide the 8 pieces of prosciutto between each muffin section. Place the prosciutto so it's covering the bottom and then going up the sides of each section (it's okay if the entire muffin section isn't covered with prosciutto). Bake in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, until the prosciutto is slightly crispy. Remove from the oven.
Dice the bell peppers and onion into small pieces (about ¼" dice or a bit smaller). Add your eggs to a large bowl and beat. Once whisked together, add the peppers, onions, salt, pepper, and half of the cheese. Then whisk together until combined.
Very carefully, add the egg mixture into each muffin section (you want to fill to just below the top). Sprinkle the top of each with the remaining shredded cheese.
Bake for 20-25 minutes.
Directions for beans:
On high, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a skillet. Add diced shallots. Cook shallots until they're softened.
Add 2 more tablespoons of olive oil and then add pinto beans. Stir together with shallots. Let beans and shallots cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
Next, add enough chicken stock so that the beans are completely covered and stir. Once the mixture starts to simmer, reduce heat to medium, stir occasionally, and cook so the beans absorb the stock. When the beans have absorbed most of the liquid, repeat the process of adding stock and letting it simmer.
Once you've gone through the chicken stock process twice, remove the mixture and put into a blender or food processor. Process the beans until you get the consistency you like (I prefer mine really smooth). If your mixture is too thick, add more chicken stock to thin out the mixture.
These are great to eat on their own. However, I like egg sandwiches, so I squish mine between an english muffin and add refried beans (recipe for this will be on the blog later today).
Alternative suggestions for egg muffins:
-If making plain egg or egg & cheese muffins, you’ll need all 12 eggs to fill an entire pan.
-Instead of prosciutto, you can use ham or bacon, you’ll just have to adjust the cooking time for this section.
-Adding ground sausage to the egg mixture is amazing, but I’d eliminate the “prosciutto” first step.
-These freeze beautifully. Let them cool and put into freezer safe container. When ready to eat, pop into the microwave for a few minutes.

I stayed two times in vila ekrem and both times the breakfast service was awful. The accommodation is very nice but the staff was rude when asking for breakfast. There was no menu, just a burned omelette, and a orange juice offered as fresh but was half fresh and half supermarket packed juice. It is pity that such nice accommodation has this service of breakfast.
We stayed at Vila Ekrem for two nights with a group of 10 people. The Rooms are excellent, modern and with great style. The staff was very friendly and motivated. The best at vila ekrem definitely is the breakfast buffet which offers a very wide variety of different and fresh food.
Poor service, food came too late, bread had been sitting out for at least 3 days, dry and tasted bad. The Ekrem salad was too sweet and tasted funny, not the best combination of ingredients. Overall: worst experience!

This serves to deactivate the whey protein in the milk, which can weaken gluten structure, leading to a denser loaf.
However, in this formulation, we have plenty of gluten structure provided by the bread flour and autolyse, so scalding the milk is an optional step that I personally didn't find necessary.
For best results, allow your butter to come to room temperature, and incorporate it one small pat at a time. The butter will have a tendency to ride up the side of the mixing bowl.
When this happens, simply stop the mixer, and hand mix the butter back into the dough using the dough hook attachment. Chilling the dough in the refrigerator overnight accomplishes two things.
First, the slower fermentation will help to add complexity of flavor, yielding a superior brioche bun. Second, because this dough has a high fat content, it will be extremely hard to handle and form at room temperature.
This is why the dough is portioned and formed as soon as it is removed from the fridge. For added flavor and convenience, you can delay the fermentation a second time after forming.
When removed from the refrigerator, if the dough has already doubled in size, bake immediately as instructed above.
If it has yet to double in size, leave covered at room temperature until the dough has finished proofing, and then bake.
When using this method, you may find that the yeast activates unevenly when baked directly from refrigeration, giving you certain portions of dough that rise faster than others.

- V. Types of Agricultural Partnerships in Beekeeping
I. Introduction to Beekeeping and Agricultural Partnerships
Beekeeping is an ancient practice that involves the management of honeybee colonies for the purpose of obtaining honey, beeswax, pollen, and other bee-related products. Over the years, beekeeping has evolved from a traditional hobby to a profitable industry with numerous opportunities for partnerships within the agricultural sector.
When it comes to agricultural partnerships, beekeepers play a crucial role in pollination services. Bees are responsible for pollinating a significant portion of our food crops, including fruits, vegetables, nuts, and oilseeds. Without bees’ assistance in transferring pollen between flowers, many plants would struggle to reproduce and produce viable fruits or seeds.
A. Enhancing Crop Yields through Pollination
The partnership between beekeepers and farmers is mutually beneficial. Farmers benefit from increased crop yields due to improved pollination rates achieved by introducing beehives near their fields. The presence of honeybees ensures efficient cross-pollination among plants which results in higher-quality produce with better taste and appearance.
Moreover, studies have shown that crops exposed to bee pollination are more resistant to diseases and pests compared to those relying solely on wind or self-pollination methods. This reduces the need for chemical pesticides or fertilizers while promoting sustainable farming practices.
B. Sustainable Agriculture Practices
Another aspect of agricultural partnerships involving beekeepers lies in promoting sustainable farming practices. Honeybees are highly sensitive indicators of environmental health as they interact closely with their surroundings during foraging activities.
Beekeepers often collaborate with farmers by providing valuable insights into land management techniques that support healthy habitats for bees while minimizing negative impacts on ecosystems. This includes reducing pesticide use during critical periods when bees are most active or planting diverse flowering plants that provide a continuous source of nectar and pollen throughout the year.
C. Economic Opportunities for Beekeepers
Collaborating with farmers also opens up economic opportunities for beekeepers. They can generate additional income by leasing their beehives to farmers for pollination services or selling honey, beeswax, and other bee-related products directly to consumers through farm stands or local markets.
Furthermore, agricultural partnerships enable beekeepers to expand their knowledge and expertise by gaining insights into crop cycles, agronomic practices, and market trends. This exchange of information fosters innovation and diversification within the beekeeping industry.
When it comes to sustainable agriculture, beekeeping plays a crucial role in enhancing crop production and biodiversity. Beekeepers collaborate with farmers through agricultural partnerships, fostering a symbiotic relationship that benefits both parties as well as the environment. This article explores the significance of beekeeping in agricultural partnerships and its positive impact on food security and ecosystem health.
The Importance of Pollination
Pollination is an essential process for plant reproduction, enabling fertilization and the production of seeds or fruits. Bees are known to be one of the most effective pollinators due to their unique ability to carry pollen from flower to flower while collecting nectar. In fact, it is estimated that bees contribute to around 80% of global pollination efforts. By engaging in agricultural partnerships with farmers, beekeepers provide access to these invaluable pollinators, ensuring healthy crop yields.
Enhancing Crop Productivity
Agricultural partnerships involving beekeepers can significantly enhance crop productivity through improved pollination services. When honeybees visit flowers for nectar collection, they inadvertently transfer pollen grains between male and female parts of plants. This cross-pollination leads to increased fruit set, better seed quality, larger fruits, and higher overall yields for various crops such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and oilseeds.
Beekeeping also contributes towards promoting biodiversity within agricultural landscapes. Honeybees not only benefit cultivated crops but also play a vital role in supporting wild plant species by transferring pollen across different habitats. As bees visit numerous flowering plants during their foraging trips, they inadvertently assist in the reproduction of diverse plant species surrounding farmland areas where they are kept by beekeepers.
Reducing Reliance on Synthetic Inputs
Agricultural partnerships that incorporate beekeeping can help reduce the reliance on synthetic inputs such as chemical pesticides and fertilizers. By ensuring effective pollination, bees help optimize crop health and minimize pest damage naturally. This reduces the need for excessive pesticide applications, promoting environmentally friendly farming practices.
Preserving Ecosystem Health
The presence of healthy bee populations contributes to overall ecosystem health. Bees act as bioindicators, reflecting the well-being of their surrounding environment. By monitoring bee colonies’ vitality and productivity, farmers and beekeepers gain insights into the ecological balance within agricultural landscapes. Protecting bees through agricultural partnerships is essential for maintaining sustainable ecosystems.
Beekeeping in agricultural partnerships holds immense value in sustaining both crop production and biodiversity. Through effective pollination services, it enhances crop productivity while reducing dependence on synthetic inputs. Additionally, these partnerships contribute to preserving ecosystem health by promoting diverse plant species and supporting sustainable farming practices. Embracing such collaborations enables a harmonious coexistence between agriculture and nature.
II. Benefits of Beekeeping in Agriculture
Beekeeping, also known as apiculture, plays a vital role in agriculture. The symbiotic relationship between bees and plants offers numerous benefits to both the beekeepers and the agricultural industry as a whole.
One of the primary advantages of beekeeping in agriculture is pollination enhancement. Bees are excellent pollinators that transfer pollen from male to female parts of flowers, facilitating fertilization and fruit production. By keeping bees on their farms or orchards, farmers can significantly increase crop yields as the bees visit flowers for nectar and inadvertently carry pollen along with them.
Beekeeping contributes to biodiversity preservation by supporting various plant species. As bees collect nectar from different flowers, they aid in cross-pollination between plants, leading to genetic diversity within plant populations. This diversity is crucial for maintaining healthy ecosystems and ensuring the sustainability of agricultural practices.
Natural Pest Control
Bees also play a crucial role in natural pest control within agricultural settings. Some species of bees feed on insects that are harmful to crops, such as aphids or mites. Through their feeding habits, these beneficial insects help regulate pest populations naturally without the need for chemical pesticides.
In addition to their pollination services, honeybees produce honey – a valuable commodity used by humans for various purposes like culinary delights or medicinal remedies. Beekeepers can harvest honey from beehives while still maintaining an adequate population for effective pollination throughout the year.
The economic value generated through beekeeping cannot be overlooked either. Apart from selling honey products directly, beekeepers often provide services such as pollination contracts to farmers. These services contribute significantly to agricultural productivity, leading to increased crop yields and profitability for farmers.
Beekeeping and agricultural partnerships have become increasingly important in today’s farming practices. As farmers recognize the significant role that bees play in pollination, they are seeking ways to promote bee populations and protect their habitats. This has led to the formation of various partnerships between beekeepers and farmers, working together to create a sustainable environment for both agriculture and bees.
The Benefits of Beekeeping in Agriculture
Beekeeping provides numerous benefits to agriculture. Bees are essential pollinators, transferring pollen from male flowers to female flowers, which results in fruit set and seed production. Without bees, many crops would struggle to reproduce effectively, leading to reduced yields and potential crop failures.
By introducing beehives into agricultural areas, farmers can improve their crop productivity significantly. The presence of bees enhances pollination rates, leading to increased fruit or seed production. This not only benefits the farmer but also contributes positively to food security on a global scale.
Promoting Biodiversity through Bee-Friendly Farming Practices
Agricultural partnerships focusing on beekeeping often prioritize creating bee-friendly environments through sustainable farming practices. These practices include reducing pesticide use or opting for organic alternatives that are less harmful to bees’ health.
Farmers can also provide additional resources for bees such as planting diverse flowering plants known as “bee pastures” or leaving uncultivated areas with wildflowers as natural habitats for these vital insects.
The Role of Education and Research in Agricultural Partnerships
An important aspect of agricultural partnerships is education and research initiatives that aim at spreading awareness about the importance of honeybees’ role in agriculture among farmers. These programs focus on educating farmers about best practices for maintaining healthy bee populations and promoting sustainable farming techniques.
Furthermore, research collaborations between beekeepers and agricultural scientists contribute to understanding the complex relationship between bees and crops. This knowledge helps develop innovative solutions to challenges faced by both industries, such as finding ways to mitigate the impact of pesticides on bees without compromising crop protection.
Beekeeping and agricultural partnerships are vital in creating a mutually beneficial environment for farmers and honeybees. By working together, they can promote pollination, enhance biodiversity, and ensure sustainable farming practices. These partnerships highlight the significance of collaboration in addressing environmental concerns while supporting global food production.
III. Importance of Bee Pollination in Agriculture
Bee pollination plays a vital role in agriculture, and its importance cannot be overstated. Bees are not only responsible for the production of honey but also serve as crucial pollinators for many crops. The process of transferring pollen from the male part (anther) to the female part (stigma) of flowers is essential for fertilization and subsequent fruit and seed formation.
Bee pollination helps maintain biodiversity by enabling cross-pollination between different plants. As bees visit flowers to collect nectar and pollen, they inadvertently transfer pollen grains from one flower to another, aiding in genetic diversity within plant populations. This diversity ensures stronger resistance to diseases, pests, and environmental changes.
Increases Crop Yields
The presence of bees directly impacts crop yields. Many fruits, vegetables, nuts, and oilseeds rely on bee pollination for successful reproduction. Research has shown that crops visited by bees have higher fruit set rates compared to those without bee activity. Moreover, cross-pollinated plants tend to produce larger fruits with more seeds than self-pollinated ones.
Enhances Food Security
Beekeeping activities contribute significantly to food security worldwide since approximately 75% of global food crops depend at least partially on animal pollinators like bees. By ensuring adequate pollination services through beekeeping practices or maintaining natural habitats favorable for wild bees’ survival, we can ensure a stable food supply chain.
The economic benefits derived from bee-dependent agriculture are substantial. Higher crop yields lead to increased profits for farmers while supporting local economies through job creation and trade opportunities related to agricultural products such as honey and other hive products. Beekeeping also provides additional income streams for beekeepers through the sale of honey, beeswax, pollen, and royal jelly.
Conservation of Ecosystems
Bee pollination contributes to the conservation of ecosystems by aiding in the reproduction of plants that are essential for maintaining biodiversity and preserving natural habitats. Bees play a crucial role in pollinating wildflowers and flowering trees, which provide food and shelter for various organisms within their ecosystems.
In conclusion, bee pollination is not only important for honey production but also plays a critical role in agriculture. It promotes biodiversity, increases crop yields, enhances food security, provides economic benefits to farmers and local economies while conserving ecosystems. Recognizing the significance of bees as pollinators allows us to appreciate their contribution to sustainable agriculture and motivates efforts towards their conservation.
When it comes to beekeeping, establishing partnerships with local agricultural businesses can be highly beneficial. These partnerships not only provide mutual benefits but also contribute to the overall health and productivity of both the bees and the crops they pollinate. In this section, we will explore how beekeepers can form fruitful collaborations with farmers and other agricultural stakeholders.
Enhancing Crop Yields through Pollination
Agricultural partnerships offer beekeepers an opportunity to contribute to the pollination process, leading to increased crop yields. Bees play a crucial role in transferring pollen between flowers, which is essential for fertilization and fruit production. By placing beehives near farms or orchards, farmers can ensure that their crops receive adequate pollination services.
In return, these partnerships benefit beekeepers as well. The abundance of flowering plants within agricultural settings provides a diverse source of nectar and pollen for bees throughout different seasons. This access to varied food sources improves their overall health and strengthens their colonies.
Promoting Biodiversity in Agricultural Landscapes
Collaborations between beekeepers and farmers also contribute positively towards enhancing biodiversity within agricultural landscapes. Traditional farming practices often involve monocultures that lack plant diversity, limiting habitat options for bees and other pollinators.
Through these partnerships, farmers can adopt agroecological practices such as planting cover crops or establishing wildflower strips around fields. These measures create additional habitats for bees while providing them with alternative food sources during periods when cultivated crops are not in bloom.
Sustainable Pest Management Strategies
Agricultural partnerships facilitate knowledge-sharing between beekeepers and farmers regarding sustainable pest management strategies. Bees face numerous threats from pests such as varroa mites or diseases like American foulbrood. Farmers, on the other hand, encounter challenges associated with crop pests and diseases.
By collaborating, both parties can exchange valuable insights and implement integrated pest management approaches that minimize the usage of synthetic chemicals harmful to bees. This promotes a healthier environment for both pollinators and crops while reducing potential negative impacts on human health.
Building Awareness and Education
Engaging in agricultural partnerships provides beekeepers with opportunities to raise awareness about the importance of pollinators and their role in food production. Through educational programs or public events hosted by farmers, individuals can learn about beekeeping practices, honey production, and the vital role bees play in sustaining our ecosystems.
This collaboration also opens doors for community involvement. Local residents may visit farms or participate in volunteer activities such as planting pollinator-friendly flowers or assisting beekeepers during hive inspections. These experiences deepen people’s understanding of the interconnectedness between agriculture, biodiversity conservation, and beekeeping.
IV. How Beekeeping Enhances Crop Yield
Beekeeping plays a crucial role in enhancing crop yield by facilitating pollination. The symbiotic relationship between bees and plants is essential for the reproductive process, as bees transfer pollen, allowing plants to produce fruits and seeds. This natural process not only benefits the individual plant but also leads to increased agricultural productivity on a larger scale.
Bee colonies consist of thousands of worker bees that tirelessly collect nectar and pollen from various flowers. As they move from flower to flower in search of food, they inadvertently transfer pollen grains between them, promoting cross-pollination. Unlike other pollinators such as wind or water, bees are highly efficient at this task due to their specialized body structures and behaviors.
Diverse Pollen Sources
By maintaining beehives near agricultural fields or orchards, beekeepers can ensure that honeybees have access to a diverse range of flowering plants throughout the year. This diversity provides bees with ample sources of nectar and pollen, resulting in healthier colonies capable of more effective pollination efforts.
Increased Fruit Set
The thorough pollination facilitated by bees leads to an increased fruit set in many crops. When flowers receive an adequate amount of pollen grains from multiple sources, it stimulates their reproductive systems and enhances fruit formation. This translates into higher crop yields for farmers.
Improved Crop Quality
In addition to increasing the quantity of crops produced, bee-mediated pollination also improves the quality of harvested produce. Properly pollinated fruits tend to be more uniform in size and shape with fewer deformities or abnormalities than those produced through other means.
Promotion of Biodiversity
Beekeeping not only benefits crop yield but also supports biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. As bees visit a wide variety of flowering plants, they contribute to the preservation and propagation of diverse plant species. This, in turn, helps maintain a balanced ecosystem and ensures the availability of food sources for other pollinators and wildlife.
Beekeeping is a fascinating practice that not only benefits the environment but also plays a crucial role in agricultural partnerships. The symbiotic relationship between bees and agriculture goes beyond honey production, as these industrious insects are essential pollinators for many crops.
The Importance of Pollination
Pollination is a vital process wherein pollen grains are transferred from the male part of a flower to the female part, allowing plants to reproduce and bear fruit. While wind and other insects also aid in pollination, bees are particularly efficient due to their unique ability to collect pollen on their bodies and transport it from flower to flower.
Without adequate pollination, crop yields can be significantly reduced or even nonexistent. This makes beekeeping an invaluable asset for farmers looking to optimize their agricultural output.
Beekeeping as Sustainable Agriculture
Beekeeping stands out as an exemplary form of sustainable agriculture due to its minimal environmental impact. Unlike conventional farming practices that may rely on chemical fertilizers or pesticides harmful to ecosystems, beekeepers focus on creating habitats that support healthy bee populations while promoting biodiversity in surrounding areas.
In return for providing suitable habitats, bees play a crucial role in maintaining plant diversity through cross-pollination. This partnership results in healthier ecosystems with improved soil fertility and increased resistance against pests and diseases.
Enhancing Crop Quality with Bee Pollen
Beyond their essential role in pollination, bees offer another valuable resource – bee pollen. Rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, antioxidants, and other beneficial compounds,<\b>bee pollen has gained recognition for its potential health benefits.<\b>
H3 Boosting Honey Production through Beekeeping
In addition to the benefits for agriculture, beekeeping also allows for the production of delicious and nutritious honey. The process involves carefully managing beehives to optimize honey production without harming the bees or their environment.<\p>
Honey is not only a natural sweetener but also offers various health benefits. It is rich in antioxidants, has antibacterial properties, and can aid in soothing coughs and sore throats. By supporting beekeeping, agricultural partnerships can enjoy the added bonus of producing high-quality honey that can be sold locally or even exported.<\p>
V. Types of Agricultural Partnerships in Beekeeping
When it comes to beekeeping, there are various types of agricultural partnerships that can be established. These partnerships play a crucial role in supporting and expanding the beekeeping industry while also benefiting other sectors of agriculture. Let’s explore some common types of agricultural partnerships in beekeeping:
1. Pollination Services
Beekeepers often collaborate with farmers to provide pollination services. As bees naturally move from flower to flower, they help transfer pollen and contribute to crop fertilization, leading to increased yields for farmers. In exchange for their bees’ pollination services, beekeepers receive compensation or a portion of the harvested crops.
2. Honey Production and Sales
Agricultural partnerships can involve honey production and sales collaboration between beekeepers and local farmers or businesses. Beekeepers provide hives and manage the colonies while utilizing nearby farmland for nectar sources. This partnership allows both parties to benefit from honey production, which can be sold locally or internationally.
3. Wax Collection
Beekeepers may partner with industries that require beeswax as a raw material for various products such as candles, cosmetics, or pharmaceuticals. Through this partnership, beekeepers collect excess wax produced by their colonies and sell it to these industries as an additional source of income.
In order to maintain healthy colonies with desirable traits such as disease resistance or productivity, many commercial beekeepers participate in breeding programs through agricultural partnerships. These programs involve collaborating with researchers or institutions specializing in selective breeding techniques to improve the genetic quality of honeybees.
5.Education and Training
Beekeeping associations often partner with agricultural organizations or educational institutions to offer training programs and workshops. These partnerships aim to educate aspiring beekeepers, farmers, or the general public about the importance of bees in agriculture, sustainable beekeeping practices, and honeybee conservation.
By establishing various types of agricultural partnerships in beekeeping, the industry can thrive while promoting sustainable agricultural practices and biodiversity. These collaborations contribute to a healthy ecosystem by supporting pollination services, honey production, wax utilization, genetic improvement of honeybees, and knowledge dissemination.

NOTE: Many birds will start eating healthier foods if they can see the food in full-spectrum lighting. Birds can actually see nutrition in their food, with proper lighting. In low light, they cannot even see in color. NEVER use the Avian Sun bulbs or any other bulb with UV-B without explicit presciption from your Avian vet. For a complete description of proper Avian Lighting, see the Newsletter Article on Proper Lighting and a summary of why lighting is important and where to purchase bulbs.
Q. I just adopted a Cockatiel but he won't eat, what can I do?
A. Sounds like your new Cockatiel is homesick. Due to the stress of changing homes, some cockatiels refuse to eat. They need time to adjust to their new environment and a little help from you. Here's what you can do:
Call the person you got your Cockatiel from and ask what diet (brand of food) they were feeding your Cockatiel. A difference in diet may be the only reason why our Cockatiel isn't eating.
Most Cockatiels love to eat millet spray even when they aren't feeling well. Millet is high in calories, which will help provide some nourishment while your Cockatiel adjusts.
With very tame cockatiels, you can try offering food from your hand. Sometimes this is all that is needed to encourage them to eat on their own.
Temporarily remove all the toys. These new items may be frightening to your new Cockatiel, enough so that they are afraid to move about in their cage. Some Cockatiels are afraid to eat from a new feed dish, especially if it is fancy or brightly colored. Try using plain white dishes and later spice it up.
Many Cockatiels feel vulnerable on the cage bottom, so use hanging dishes and place them near a perch. Additionally, since most birds tend to perch on the highest item in their cage, place the dish slightly higher then all the items in the cage. Keep experimenting with dish placement and you will find that place which is acceptable to your new Cockatiel. Don't add any supplements to the food or water until your Cockatiel is eating vigorously. The taste and smells of these supplements could be turning them away from eating and drinking.
While your new Cockatiel is trying to adjust to his new home, his living quarters should not be in a high traffic area. This is not to say put him in a room and shut the door, rather a quiet corner in the family room where your Cockatiel can see everyone entering the room at a safe distance. Keeping the cage covered on 2 or 3 sides will also give him a feeling of comfort.
If none of the above works a visit with an avian vet will be necessary.

Q. How can I convert my stubborn bird from seeds to a healthy diet?
A. It can be very difficult to convert adult Cockatiels and Budgies to a healthy diet (pellets and fresh foods) but by no means is it impossible! It is going to take time and patience. It is possible to unknowingly starve a bird during the process so it is important that you take care in observing the bird closely during the process. It may seem like a lot to ask to convert your bird but the rewards are tremendous. Your bird will be healthier, live longer and be happier. It will also pay off in that you will have fewer vet bills from a bird on a healthy diet. A healthy diet should consist of approximately 50-60% pellets, 40% healthy table foods (leafy greens, carrots, sweet potato, pasta, rice, non-sugary breakfast cereals, whole wheat bread, fruits) and approx. 10% seed. Keep in mind that it is always best to see an avian vet before starting any diet conversion. It is best to convert only healthy birds and your vet can determine whether your bird has any underlying health problems that should be addressed first. Also, your vet can get a baseline weight prior to starting the diet change and can weigh the bird weekly (usually at no charge) during the conversion.
Start by placing a bowl of pellets in the cage in addition to the bird's seed. Some birds (probably ~10% of them) will willingly choose the pellets. For those birds, you will still want to follow the plan, you just won't have to do it for very long. Most birds will either completely ignore the pellets or pick them up and spit them out as if they were poison. After about a week of having the pellet bowl filled next to the seed bowl, you will begin to restrict the seed. Start restricting the seed to one hour of uninterrupted seed time in the morning and one hour of seed in the evening (remember if you have more than one bird to put as many seed bowls as there are birds in the cage for the one hour am and pm, otherwise the "alpha" bird will eat the seed during the two hours and the others will be left hungry). Make sure you offer the seed during a time when the bird will eat it (in other words, not at 4am when the bird is sleeping) For example, offer the seed from 8am to 9am, then remove the seed and put the pellet bowl in the cage along with fresh foods and leave that there until evening. Then, at 6pm replace the seed and remove it at 7pm. This will need to be repeated until the bird starts eating the pellets. Once you notice that the bird is eating them you will begin to restrict the seed to 45 minutes twice daily, then 30 minutes, etc. until the bird has only pellets and fresh foods in the cage daily. You can still offer seed as a treat and in small amounts. Once your bird begins eating the pellets you need to discontinue any vitamin supplements you may have been giving or it could cause problems. The pellets are fortified and adding vitamins or mineral supplements would be "too much of a good thing" and can cause serious problems. Always make sure you are providing a good assortment of healthy table foods during the conversion as the bird may take to kale, swiss chard, carrots, or brown rice before "breaking down" and eating the pellets and you can improve the diet more quickly that way.
There are also some excellent conversion foods you can use during the process. Avicakes and Nuts and Nuggets from Lafeber are two foods that mix pellets and seed together in tasty little pieces. It may hasten the conversion to offer these sprinkle on top of the pellets. My birds took to the pellets more quickly when offered them with these on top. You can also try tricks like "food toys" or birdie bread to entice your bird to eat pellets (see our Web site for more info on these). If your bird likes pasta or rice, try crushing the pellets in the food they like to get them introduced. It also works sometimes to offer the pellets in a "clip cup" up high in the cage especially near a favorite toy or mirror. Another trick is to offer small pellets (budgie size for a tiel and canary size for a budgie) as they seem to like the smaller nuggets. Trying different brands of pellets may help, too, as there does seem to be a big difference in the taste buds of different birds with some choosing certain brands over others. We would just recommend staying away from the pellets that have a lot of artificial colors or flavors. The most important part of conversion is making sure you are doing it safely.
Watch your bird's weight closely during the conversion. They can really trick owners into thinking they are eating when they are really only rooting through the food so weighing is very important. You can purchase a gram scale through bird product catalogues or you can get a postal scale at an office supply store. Another gage of how the bird is doing is by checking and counting the birds droppings. Watery droppings or too few droppings may be signs that your bird isn't eating enough. If that is the case contact your avian vet for consult and return your bird to his previous diet to get him to eat. Variety is the spice of life, so don't forget to offer fresh foods in abundance during the conversion and remember it can take time. It can take a year to convert a bird! Keep it up by be careful and watch your bird. If he/she becomes listless, depressed, looks or feels thin, develops watery or black droppings or if you notice any symptoms of illness (see our site for symptoms to be aware of) contact your avian vet immediately.


Valentine’s Day makes the tail end of winter a little bit sweeter, and the best wines for this time of year are the sweetest!
While sweetness is often associated with wine coolers and bottom-shelf bottles, this is hardly the case when it comes to world-class sweet wine. In fact, sweet wine can be high-quality and it can pair well with food — many times even more so than a buttery Chardonnay or super bold Cabernet Sauvignon. While great to drink on their own, those bigger wines can often overpower dishes, compared to light, floral, and fruity sweet wines that work well with a cheese board in the summer or a healthy springtime dish.
These wines tend to be lower in alcohol and are delicious when chilled. They work great with appetizers or over a relaxing lunch. Moscato d’Asti is even delicious during weekend brunch! So skip the mimosas next time you go out for pancakes and try one of these sweet wines instead …
Let’s get this out of the way — Riesling isn’t always sweet. This wine originated on the Rhine River in Germany, and producers can make dry, sweet, and even sparkling wines out of this delicious grape. Some wines will have more pear notes, while others will taste like apricots, but almost all bottles of this delicious wine will have a narrow and tall shape so you can recognize it instantly at the store. These wines are highly acidic and work well with spicy food, especially Asian dishes.
Try this: Chateau St. Michelle Riesling
Made primarily in northwest Italy, Moscato d’Asti is a very light, flavorful dessert wine. However, this delicious wine shouldn’t just be served with dessert. Its fruity flavor works especially well with fruit salads and vegetable platters, along with cheese boards and charcuterie. And if you’re driving after a get-together with friends no need to worry about enjoying a couple pours. By law, his wine can only have 5.5% ABV, which is incredibly low compared to other wines.
If you’re looking for a unique and rare bottle of dessert wine, consider ice wine which is made from grapes frozen on the vine. These bottles tend to be pricier due to the specific environmental conditions they require, but for a special occasion like Valentine’s Day, it’s a good excuse to try something new. These wines are very high in sugar, have intense flavors of fruit and honey, and are often harvested by hand in the snow.
Try this: Inniskillin Vidal Pearl Ice Wine
If red wine is your favorite, add this sparkling red wine to your list of sweet wines to try in 2022. They are affordable compared to other quality red wines, work well at happy hour, and add something unexpected to the table. If a delicate flavor is what you seek, try Lambrusco di Sorbara which will appear lighter in color compared to others. Lambrusco Grasparossa is the boldest, while Lambrusco Salamino has the sweetest grapes. Try them all to find out what type of Lambrusco wine is your favorite.
Try this: Lambrusco dell’Emelia
PORT AND TAWNY PORT
Can we even write about sweet wine if we don’t include port and tawny port? Probably not. These wines are very sweet and very strong, and have a high alcohol content which is why they are traditionally poured in smaller glasses after dinner. This spirit is made in Portugal and is almost a cross between a wine and a liquor — guaranteed to keep you warm the rest of the winter season.Try this: Cockburn’s Vintage Port
