Agricultural technology
Milk thistle is cultivated in weed-free fields. The plant loves sandy loam and slightly acidic loose soils. It is sown after perennial grasses or grain crops, having previously destroyed the weeds with herbicides (the greatest danger is represented by sow thistle).
The field is cultivated with disc harrows. The grass is sown with early spring crops, giving vigorous shoots at a temperature of 10 degrees on 8-10 days.
Sowing is continuous to a depth of 4 centimeters, which ensures good germination and ripening of seeds. Seed consumption per hectare is 25-30 kilograms.
Four to five days after planting, the field is harrowed across the crops to destroy crust and small weeds.
The grass is unpretentious to watering, but is sensitive to weeds - they need to be destroyed on the field regularly. Not afraid of cold weather and frosts.
Seeds on an industrial scale are harvested using a combine. Cleaning is carried out on time, as they crumble when overripe within 3-4 hours.
Honey productivity of milk thistle
Among the plants that represent summer honey plants, milk thistle is not very productive: from 1 hectare, depending on the climatic zone, up to 40-100 kg of honey is collected (thus, its value lies precisely in its healing properties). Nectar-bearing tissue is located deep in the flower. It should be noted that bees visit the plant quite willingly, and the collection of nectar and pollen occurs throughout the day - from the morning hours to sunset.
Characteristics of the honey variety
The composition and properties of a milk thistle product are of no small importance:
- geographic location of the collection area;
- natural conditions;
- the presence of other honey plants in the immediate vicinity, their type, quantity.
The following components are constant in the composition:
- water with a fairly high indicator - 18%;
- carbohydrates – easily absorbed and broken down fructose, glucose, in smaller quantities sucrose, in small quantities maltose, etc.;
- water-soluble vitamins;
- minerals – in large quantities K, J, in smaller quantities P, Cr, Ca, Cu, Co, Mg, Na, Al, Se;
- enzymes, dextrins, amino acids, proteins;
- essential oils, resins;
- tannins;
- organic, inorganic acids.
A unique distinctive characteristic of milk thistle honey is the presence in its composition of active substances - flavonoids and flavonolignans: silydian, silybin, silicristin, which strengthen cell membranes, activate the synthesis of proteins, accelerate the destruction of harmful toxins, and the regeneration of damaged liver cells.
Calorie content of milk thistle honey (in kcal):
- per 100 g of product – 308;
- in 1 teaspoon (12 g) – 36.38;
- in 1 tablespoon (35 g) – 106.4;
- in 1 glass (360 g) – 1094.4.
What does milk thistle honey look like? It is a viscous and thick nectar from bright amber to pale yellow. Due to the abundance of glucose, it quickly crystallizes, acquiring a whitish-yellow hue, similar to the color of linden honey. The crystals are voluminous, but soft, and easily melt in the mouth.
The taste is delicate, sweet, with a fruity aftertaste, without astringency or bitter aftertaste. The smell of honey is not similar to the smell of milk thistle. The aroma is subtle, tart, persistent, with fruity and floral notes.
Kinds
There are more than 100 varieties of milk thistle in nature, but the most famous types include:
Milky - a distinctive feature of this species is white spots on the leaves, as if milk had been spilled on them;
Curly - the plant is widespread in Western Siberia, distinguished by the absence of spines on the stem of the basket;
Drooping - a plant with a straight, slightly branched stem and flowers without thorns.
Some varieties of milk thistle are specially grown for medicinal purposes. These are “Debut” with a high oil content, “Boykovchanka” with a large amount of silymarin, as well as “Amulet” and “Panacea”.
Use in medicine
The main active compound in milk thistle is silibinin. It is characterized by multiple effects on organs and systems. Thus, it is known as an antidote for some poisonings. It prevents the absorption of amatoxins. Together with other components, it stimulates the regeneration of hepatocytes - liver cells, therefore it is actively used in the complex therapy of hepatitis and hepatosis. Its ability to improve metabolic processes in neurons and increase brain activity has been noted. It effectively copes with age-related changes in brain cells.
In addition, silibinin improves the structure of cell membranes, normalizes metabolism and digestion. Recent studies conducted by the Medical University of Vienna have revealed its ability to effectively fight viruses, in particular, it prevents the replication, that is, the multiplication of the hepatitis C virus.
Doctors prescribe milk thistle in the complex treatment of diabetes to lower blood sugar levels. In women during lactation, this medicinal plant activates milk production.
Description
Milk thistle is a herbaceous plant that is a member of the Asteraceae family, and is closely related to dandelion and thistle. The plant may be an annual or biennial with white veins on the leaves.
The scientific name of the plant is Sílybum marianum. Translated from Latin, Sílybum means brush or brush, but mariánum is an adjective given in honor of the Virgin Mary. There is a legend that the white veins on the leaves of milk thistle are drops of mother's milk from the Mother of God.
Milk thistle is a thorny plant. Its stem is straight, but weak branching can be observed, up to 1.5 m high. Milk thistle is distinguished by its large leaves up to 30 cm wide and up to 80 cm long, with yellowish small spines along the edges.
Features of honey pumping
to obtain pure milk thistle honey ; as a rule, it contains nectar collected by bees from other summer herbs. And here, experienced beekeepers advise not to miss the moment in order to remove the honeycombs from the hives in time. This is the only way to obtain honey as close to monofloral as possible.
Milk thistle honey has a viscous consistency, it quickly crystallizes, the color is light yellow, even transparent. It has a bright smell, tastes pleasant, soft and moderately sweet.
Use in cooking
Milk thistle seeds are used to make flour. It is added to baked goods, and also as a dressing in sauces, cereals and soups.
The oil of this plant is classified as a dietary product as a valuable source of vitamins E, A and polyunsaturated fatty acids. It neutralizes toxins, activates metabolism, has a wound-healing effect, and improves immunity. It is used to season salads and added to boiled potatoes and porridges.
Milk thistle is brewed as tea. The drink has a bitterness, which is eliminated by a teaspoon of honey. A slice of lemon and a mint leaf improves the taste.
Beneficial features
Milk thistle honey is considered one of the most popular bee products, the use of which is recommended for those who prefer unhealthy food (the variety makes it easier to process and absorb). Due to the presence of a complex of vitamins and minerals in honey, the following healing properties of the product are ensured:
- normalization of the liver and gastrointestinal tract;
- increasing the concentration of platelets, due to which it is indicated for problems with blood circulation;
- stabilization of intestinal function;
- normalization of pressure (for hypertension).
Also, regular consumption of milk thistle honey has a positive effect on the nervous system, helps with insomnia and eliminates anxiety. The presence of bee products in the diet can boost immunity and improve metabolism. Quite often milk thistle honey is used in cosmetology. The unique properties of the product promote the healing of wounds and burns, and thanks to its rejuvenating effect, it reduces the number and depth of wrinkles.
Of particular note is the delicate aroma of honey and its velvety taste, which leaves a pleasant aftertaste. As in the case of bruise honey (we talked about such a melliferous crop as common bruise in the article “Common bruise: providing a highly productive honey-bearing base”), milk thistle honey is also practically never found in its pure form, however, the presence of another variety of nectar from this valuable honey plant in the product can bring maximum benefits to human health. As a rule, only your own apiary allows you to collect high-quality honey containing milk thistle nectar.
Thus, milk thistle is one of the sought-after honey crops. Due to the unpretentiousness of the plant, its cultivation is not difficult, and the resulting honey has unique healing properties. Regular consumption of honey varieties containing milk thistle nectar allows you not only to enjoy unique bee products, but also contributes to a noticeable improvement in your well-being.
