Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:00:45 GMT

For thousands of years, people have enjoyed the fresh earthy scent of eucalyptus plants. However, scientists only recently discovered what gives the eucalyptus genus its distinctive aromatics.

Interestingly, recent data suggests that eucalyptol may be present in many popular CBD hemp strains.When evaluating Certificates of Analysis (COAs) for full-spectrum CBD oils, you may run across eucalyptol.

What were those tiny winged insects in Kensington, North Berkeley after recent rains?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:00:45 GMT

DEAR JOAN: We had an unusual phenomenon this morning. As the sun warmed the ground after our rain, hundreds of small flying insects started to swarm.It appeared they were coming from the ground but I could not see where. We have decomposed granite in the courtyard where they appeared from but no sight of little holes. They are approximately ½-inch to 5/8-inch overall, two sets of glasslike wings — looks like a wingspread of about 1 inch.We had to run an errand to Berkeley, and they appeared throughout North Berkeley. Suddenly, after about two hours, they disappeared.— Shelley Dommer, KensingtonDEAR SHELLEY: What you experienced is common in the fall after a rain shower. The winged insects are subterranean termites. Termites are common throughout California, and we have both dry wood and those underground dwellers. One sign that you have a colony living below you are mud tunnels they create to reach wood above the ground.The termites are sexually mature; they leave the co...

TasteFood: Use farro in this made-from-scratch herby pilaf

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:00:45 GMT

If you have ever prepared rice pilaf, chances are you’ve made it from a boxed mix — the slim package filled with dried rice and a sachet of spices (with likely a sprinkling of other, less natural ingredients). In fact, a pilaf is easy to make from scratch with whole and healthy ingredients, and, more important, it will taste better. The method is simple and makes for an easy side or vegetarian dish.The principle behind a pilaf is to saute grains and then steam them in a flavorful broth, embellished with aromatics such as garlic, onion and dried spices. In this recipe, hearty farro is the grain. Farro is an ancient wheat grain (which means it’s not gluten-free) with a chewy texture and a nutty, earthy flavor. It’s protein- and nutrient-rich, packed with fiber, iron and magnesium. If you prefer another grain, bulgur or rice are good substitutes. (Note that the cooking times will vary.)You’ll find various forms of farro available in the shops. Whole farro ...
