Prince: health benefits and harms

The prince is called low grassy shrubs without thorns. These plants are perennial shrubs that are characterized by frost resistance, are included in the family of Pink. They grow and bear fruit for several years, that is, they are perennial.

What is a princess and how does she look

Also, the culture is called the princess ordinary, kumanika, Arctic raspberries, princes or the royal berry, Khokhlushka, mamura, midday and northern raspberry. Relatives of the bush include many raspberry hybrids. In a treatise of the encyclopedic type of Brockhaus and Efron, it is stated that the name "princess" at the end of the 19th century was applied to shrubs of red currant.

The berry grows in the northern latitudes of Russia. For plants, moisture-saturated, shady spots are preferred. Bushes of Arctic raspberries are often found near fresh water bodies, in meadows rich in herbs, tundra forests or marshy soils. The plant is common in Sakhalin, Far Eastern, Kamchatka and Ural regions. If desired, it is grown in the Russian middle zone.

To try the fresh royal berry, you have to wait for late summer or early autumn. Leaves have been stockpiled since mid-July. The collected princess is perfect for jam or jam, freezing and drying. The healing properties of Arctic raspberries were also known to the inhabitants of Ancient Russia. The healers used fruits and leaves and achieved positive results.

What is the difference between princess and drupe

Each of the forest berries is extremely useful and is often found in nature. However, only true lovers of "silent hunting" can find them. Outwardly, both the bushes and the fruits are quite similar.

They often confuse drupe with raspberry, which is facilitated by the botanical illiteracy of the population. If the first has not yet received an alternative name, then the second has more than enough of them. Perplexing is another name - drupe. Doubts immediately arise, and isn’t this the well-known bone structure, maybe just a few letters are messed up? From a botanical point of view, these cultures are completely different, but still they have common ground.

Why are drupes mistakenly called both plants? Each of the bushes has fruits with a small seed inside. In addition, they are combined:

• belonging to the same Rosaceae family;
• identical in shape sheets;
• small height - from 30 to 50 cm;
• increased requirements for moisture in the soil;
• the beginning of flowering in the second half of May - early June;
• ripening berries by the end of the summer period;
• the predominant red pigment in the fruit;
• healing properties for humans.

You can understand the main differences between the compared cultures by looking better at the drupe itself. On its bushes, upright strip shoots and creeping stems from 150 to 300 cm long grow. The latter take root and give life to new plants. Mamura, however, tends to be tall and does not form processes.

Bones grow on meadow moist soils, in deciduous, coniferous and mixed forests of the Far East, Siberia and the Urals.

In order to fully enjoy the taste and benefits of both bone and raspberry, you need to know the simple rules for collecting these berries:

1. Only manual assembly is acceptable, because mechanical devices cause damage to the fruits, and therefore the shelf life is reduced.
2. With the growing moon, the aroma of crops becomes saturated.
3. Harvest is not recommended to be left in direct sunlight, because under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, it will quickly lose its usefulness and rich flavor.

Bones are also distinguished by corymbose white inflorescences and sweet and sour berries with a pronounced pomegranate flavor, which include 3-4 small individual balls looking up. And in Khokhlushka, the fruits are sweeter and smell like pineapple, hang on long stalks and do not come off the seeds.

In bones, the indicator of nutritional value is almost two times higher compared to midday and is 40 kcal. The composition of the fruit includes 7.4 g of carbohydrates, 0.8 g of protein, 0.9 g of fat, vitamins C, E, P, trace elements and minerals.

Both northern berries are of particular value to the human body, not only because of the vitamin composition, but because of the healing properties, which vary significantly, which means that the fruits can have the opposite effect.

For example, bones help to increase blood pressure, and raspberries - to decrease. The berries and leaves of the first are also able to have a diaphoretic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and diuretic effect, eliminate signs of colds and help get rid of the hated extra pounds.

Growing Features

Planted in the same way as raspberry bushes in areas with prepared soil - to get the crop it is enriched with humus, sand, organic fertilizers, wood ash and natural peat. The area should be simultaneously lit and slightly shadowed by nearby trees or shrubs. In a warm, cool place, ripening will be more even. At high temperatures, the berries often dry out. It is recommended to plant different varieties on one bed to activate pollination.

The land before planting must be treated with special means for disinfection from fungal and mold spores and other harmful bacteria. You should also loosen the soil every three days. With timely hydration and proper care, princess plantings produce up to 1.2–1.5 kg of fruit per 1 sq.m. This amount is enough to provide a family of 4 with useful trace elements during the winter.

The root system of princes' berries is creeping and located at a depth of 15–20 cm, spreading on different sides. Stems are an average variation of raspberry and strawberry. In roots, lignification is observed. The shoots are quite grassy with shaggy ovaries of green color. Since the north is considered the homeland of raspberries, its bushes will not grow above 25-30 cm, even when cultivated in latitudes of the middle lane. Enterprising breeders have bred certain varieties, reaching a height of 100-150 cm, which are suitable for planting in latitudes of the middle lane.

The structure and appearance of the leaf plates of Khokhlushka resembles raspberry. They have a triple-teardrop shape, are pointed to the tip, distinct veins can be seen. The shade of the sheets is green or purple, sometimes a reddish edge is found.

Mamura has a flowering period at the end of spring - the beginning of summer and lasts about a month. The noon blooms single. Each of the many inflorescences consists of five petals. The latter have a rich purple, almost purple color. Fruits, from a botanical point of view, are not berries, but the drupes are mostly bright red, almost crimson. By taste, ripe glade resembles sweet strawberries, it smells of pineapple or fresh caramel. And unripe berries are sour, reminiscent of pomegranate seeds. The fruits look like raspberries. The bearing fruit is not strong. Even in natural conditions, to collect a liter can - about one kilogram - you will have to find a few glades.

If you bring and plant forest shoots, then most likely they will not take root. In the gardens, wild berries grow poorly and bear few fruits, which are inferior to wild ones in taste and aroma.Year after year, fruit bearing declines and completely ceases.

In the suburban area, it is preferable to grow a hybrid of glades and drupes. Young plants have a large yield. They need special care, it is impossible to prevent thickening, for this it is enough to regularly cut bushes, remove dried branches and weed weeds. It is recommended to protect the planting from the effects of ultraviolet radiation and drafts.

9. Normalization of blood pressure. Strengthening the tissues of the heart and blood vessels contributes to excellent blood circulation and prevents related pathologies.
10. Synthesis of collagen molecules. Fibrillar protein compounds significantly improve the condition of connective tissues, regenerate integuments, remove toxic substances and normalize metabolic processes.
11. Restoration of the secretion of the pancreas and thyroid gland. Due to the development of neurotransmitters, an influx of vital energy occurs, weight normalizes and the production of hepatic secretion is restored, so the condition of the skin, nails and hair improves.
12. Decreased cramping. The latter occur during intense physical exertion. Due to trace elements and anthocyanins, blood circulation is stabilized, because of which there is a more rapid restoration of the body's forces and spasms do not occur again.
