Powdery mildew of the sage

  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.

Properties of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

-
For Properties OF Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVO) is meant an oil obtained from the first pressing of the drupes, or of the fruits (olives), of the European Olea Leccino plant (better known as olive). The extraction processes of extra virgin olive oil are MECHANICAL and the use of chemical means or processes is totally excluded; Properties of Extra Virgin Olive Oil at various stages of processing must NOT affect the quality of the oil which, when finished, must be intact and well preserved.

Today I will answer the most frequent questions you ask me about brewer’s yeast (yeast types). Lately reading your comments on recipes with brewer’s yeast I have noticed a bit of confusion. “Blessed can I replace the dehydrated beer yeast with the fresh one? “Can I use instant yeast instead of beer yeast?” “Can I freeze the brewer’s yeast?” (yeast types) Many of you are approaching the world of cooking in this period of stay at home, so before you wasted the ingredients I wanted to clarify your doubts about the use of yeast. CAN I REPLACE THE BEER YEAST WITH THE INSTANT YEAST? Brewer’s yeast is used to make bread, pizza, focaccia , sweet and savoury brioche, croissants, etc (yeast types). It is therefore suitable for all those preparations that require a long leavening before being cooked in the oven. Instead, there are some preparations such as doughnuts, pies, some types of biscuits, sweet and savoury plumcakes, savoury pies, etc. for which it is necessary to use instant yeast. In th
