Sprout is a pencil like no other. This is because when used and becomes smaller, we plant in our flower pot and flowers bloom, plants and herbs! In the same logic biodegradable coffee cups containing seeds and transformed into trees, the MIT students created ecological and environmentally friendly Sprout pencil, containing seeds. After use, planting and bloom! Sustainability in practice! source Among numerous other uses, herbs were known even from the ancient times for their curative properties, as they can be used in medicaments and treatments. The essential oil of common thyme contains 20 - 54 % thymol. Thymol, due to its antiseptic action, can be used in dentistry and it is the main ingredient of various mouthwashes and natural hand sanitizers. In addition, in older times it was used to medicate bandages and it has been proved to be effective against fungi that infect toenails. Α tisane made by infusing the herb in water can be useful against cough and bronchitis.

I really love flavored olive oil and I use it in fresh salads. But there are some rules you have to follow. First of all the good olive oil has to be virgin. The bottles, it is glass, not only for aesthetic reasons but because the plastic deteriorates the odor of the oil after a certain time. Also it is advisable to fasten with cork stopper and not because it is more airtight cork. Herbs to better convey their flavors better be fresh and not dried. If the hers are fresh , you have to wash them very well before putting in the oil and drain on a clean towel. Stir well before each use. Everything keep away from sunlight and heat sources. Here is my simple recipe Olive oil flavored with oregano Used in summer salads and grilled fish. Three sprigs oregano 2 tsp. tablespoon black peppercorns 2 cups extra virgin olive oil A bottle of dry, clean, airtight enough to fit two cups of oil. Put the bottle all ingredients and seal. Place it in a dark, cool cupboard. The roll after a week taking care to shake and then. Our oil kept for six months and before each use to mix well. |
