"Now I just need Urucum" I say to Re. Her name is actually Rechelaine (pronounced Rescheleine), but all call it Re, said, "He". Re is one of our neighbors. It reminds me a little of my Rosina from home. Both are very down to earth and hide huge treasures of knowledge that most of us know only from books and documentaries. "Ha," says Re, "I know where a growing shrub. As on land next to the Japanese." Already we trudge along towards Japanese. As it stands, the shrub. Even has some seed capsules, which are already cracked. Later, Alessandro and I go again out to harvest a few pods.
Gross is not the yield. For starters, it's enough, however. For now, I only want to try again, what can be produced for color is it and how can I use it on the bamboo.
Together with cat Sissi I Puhle the seeds from the capsules. Sissi is wild about the seed pods that look almost like the capsules of the book Eggern. That the colored Urucum actually, I notice it after a few minutes, with a look at my fingers. They are orange-red, as I would have just handled with henna. After that I'll have the seeds crushed in a mortar and a first attempt Start with linseed oil.
Urucum growing almost everywhere in South America. The kitchen is similar to saffron as a dye used, for example, to brown sauces or chicken. Some food manufacturers prefer the coloring of Urucum (INS160b) the artificial dyes. It is probably cheaper. He is also healthier. Therefore, it is not surprising that Urucum was discovered even in the cosmetics industry. Who knows, maybe you have it you ever been so smeared on the lips. For instead of the red of the lipstick from lice or gain artificial blood, can also Urucum use the top of that from UV rays intended to protect. The eco-cosmetics company Aveda has come up with the benefits in 1992 and initiates convince even some projects with Tribos of Indios in the Amazon. The company buys the Indians from the Urucum at a much higher price than they would get from local dealers. A report to follow the U.S. company has invested well eingie dollars in the construction of schools, hospitals and solar panels for the Indians. "Rio 92" as it should be: Eco-friendly and socially responsible Komerz.
Another addendum to yesterday:
split the bamboo in a green state, it pulls together different degrees during drying. Thus, from the former round bamboo a "roller bamboo. The crack is only up to the first diaphragm. The diaphragms are like crack brakes.
