  Powdery mildew or white sickness is a cryptogamic disease, that is of fungal origin, which can affect sage plants and occurs on the leaves. This is the most frequent pathology among those that can affect this aromatic herb and occurs in particular with mild temperatures and high humidity. It is a very simple disease to identify: because the white patches that are seen on the leaves of the sage are very characteristic. A reader of Orto Da Coltivare, Barbara, asks me exactly what her plant can have, describing the symptoms of powdery mildew. I answer publicly because I think it may be useful for many to know how to defend themselves from this problem with natural methods and above all how to prevent it. Recognizing powdery mildew on sage Those who cultivate the vegetable garden will already know powdery mildew because it is a frequent pathology also on other cultivated plants, in particular on pumpkin and courgette.

-

Macadamia and coconut truffles, delicious pearls of goodness: truffles made with cream, white chocolate and ground macadamia nuts wrapped in a mantle of grated coconut. Divine!

Ingredients

Dessert For 30 pieces

100 g of macadamia nuts
40 g of solid coconut oil
1 dl of cream
150 g of white chocolate, example Blanca, or white chocolate for covering
2 tablespoons of grappa, to taste
100 g of grated coconut

How to proceed Macadamia and coconut truffles

Preparation:
ca. 40 minutes
Refrigeration:
at least 5 hours
Total time:
6 h 10 min

Grind the walnuts in the food processor for approx. 5 minutes until you get a paste (nut butter), taking care to remove the mass several times from the edge of the food processor with a spatula. Add the coconut oil and continue grinding briefly. Heat the cream. Finely chop the chocolate in a metal bowl. Add the cream and let it rest briefly. Mix the mass well. Carefully mix in the coconut and nut butter and grappa. Refrigerate the covered mass overnight or for at least 5 hours, until it solidifies and becomes well moldable.

With a teaspoon, take portions of mass as large as nuts and shape them into a sphere with your hands. After forming each sphere, rub your hands with kitchen paper, this will make it easier to shape the sticky mass. Refrigerate the truffles on baking paper for approx. 30 minutes. Pour the grated coconut into a flat container and pass the truffles, reshape them to obtain homogeneous spheres and place them back on the baking paper. Keep them in the fridge until ready to serve.
