Hibiscus sabdariffa (Roselle, Tea Hibiscus, Karkade)

The famous hibiscus tea is better known in Bulgaria with the Arabic name "Karkade". But few people know that karkade plants can also be grown successfully in Bulgaria. Seeds are sown in pots in early spring. At the end of April, they are planted directly in the ground. Before the end of the summer flowering begins, after that the flowers are collected and dried throughout the summer (as shown in one of the photos). A few flowers are allowed to set seed and mature so that there will be seed for the following year. So everyone can make their own karkade tea.

Karkade tea has been known since ancient times. It contains many valuable ingredients - a large amount of polyphenols, anthocyanins, flavonoids and pigments, but last but not least - a large amount of antioxidants. From our own experience, we can confirm that the daily consumption of a glass of cold tea from karkade without sugar, regulates and lowers blood pressure.

Karkade tea can be made hot or cold. Most of the valuable ingredients are preserved in cold tea. In 300 ml of water put 4-5 dried flowers of karkade, and if desired you can add a slice of ginger, a little lemon juice or lime. The tea is also great without sugar, but can be sweetened to your taste. The tea is stored for a few hours in the fridge and the next morning it will be deep red in color.

Punica granatum, Pomegranate var. 1

 

During the period 1950-1990, in Bulgaria were made many experiments with subtropical fruit crops. Quite a few experimental stations were created throughout the country and they had big plantations of tangerines, olives, pomegranates, figs, persimmons, pistachios and others.

In these plantations, the most valuable varieties were tested and selected and the most essential was their cold tolerance. Varieties of a whole "Eastern bloc" were delivered - from Russia to Afghanistan. After political changes, all these plantations were abandoned. Some were destroyed, others were left to run wild without any care.

During our visits to these places, we have selected the most durable and valuable varieties, that not only had excellent fruit, but were fairly dry and frost tolerant to survive a decade after abandonment. Of the former plantation with pomegranate near Lozenets (Bourgas), we managed to save two varieties with excellent fruits with high sugar content and very good taste. Unfortunately, their names are unknown. Therefore we are presenting them as variety 1 and variety 2.

Pomegranate variety Hicaz, Punica granatum Hicaz

The Hicaz variety is probably the most popular pomegranate variety on the market at the moment. If back in the days the Wonderful variety was the benchmark against which all other pomegranate varieties were compared, now Hicaz is the best variety.

The fruits of this elite Turkish variety have a perfect sweet and sour taste, with about 85% falling on the sweet taste and about 15% - on the sour. With this perfect combination of the two flavors, it is not surprising that the Hicaz variety is a favorite of almost everyone who has tried it.

Plants of the Hicaz variety can tolerate winter minimum temperatures down to about -12° C without damage. Although drought-resistant, the plants must be watered regularly in summer, otherwise the fruits remain sour and will crack after the first rain!

Ceratonia siliqua, Carob tree, St John's-bread, Locust bean

 

The Carob is a typical Mediterranean plant that is found only in warmer regions of southern Europe (around the Mediterranean), in North Africa and the Middle East.

The tree is very drought resistant and grows along with the typical representatives of Mediterranean forests (ie. Maquis). It develops a strong root system and therefore could withstand high summer temperatures, as well as major droughts.

Locust bean is used to produce flour by grinding of the seeds. The flour is popular as a substitute for cocoa and ground for preparation of chocolate-like desserts.

The locust beans contain a lot of calcium. They contain up to three times more calcium than the chocolate, but with approximately 40% fewer calories. Vitamin B1 is as in strawberry, and there is a lot of vitamin A. They also contain vitamin B2, calcium, magnesium, potassium and trace elements like iron, copper, nickel, manganese and chromium. The carob is also popular with its therapeutic effect on diarrhea and helps with nausea, vomiting and indigestion.
