Monday Red - Color challenge - Phytolacca acinosa
On Red Monday, I want to present you a photograph of a very interesting plant, which, relatively recently, appeared in Ukraine, but, apparently, did not gain due popularity, apparently due to the low enlightenment of people in the field of botany, this plant is Phytolacca acinosa.
Yes, most often, I see this plant in the backyards, in wastelands, where it grows by self-sowing.
People did not appreciate it, although if they knew what this black and red standard of taste is like, they would gladly cultivate it in their gardens.
The young shoots of Phytolacca acinosa are no different from the expensive and demanding asparagus to grow, the leaves are a substitute for spinach, and the berries will give a special flavor to your dishes and color everything from wine to your sheep's wool lol.
We can safely say that this plant, like its stem, is a source of red color.

that's wonderful. are tehy edible?
Yes, they are quite edible but do not abuse, they can have a laxative effect and in excess irritate the respiratory tract.
oh, okay, do lots of people use it as a food coloring>
Yes, I read about it, but I have never tried using these berries in this capacity.
Beautifull pictures with concise text. I'd like to share yours sometimes when I do post, not here but steemit. I'll leave here but happy to know you. thanks.
ps. until down completed, I'll enjoy your post.
I'm glad to meet you and I'm sad to see that you decided to leave, but as they say, choose the lesser of two evils.
But, it’s not always worth doing this, a treatise on war says that if you sit for a long time on the river bank, you will see the corpse of your enemy floating past you. Perhaps you should reconsider the tactics of fighting, maintaining your blog, and everything that stops you, or rather, that repels you, will turn out to be not so scary. I do not exclude the option that I will have to leave the Hive, I am tired of seeing the raiding whales that prevent the emergence of new whales by setting unwritten rules that, at one time, they themselves violated, of which I am very sure. Don't despair)
Thank you. friend,
Their ideals aren't bad, but I just don't agree with the way they handle things. I feel sad that abuse of anonymity and high power is always problematic. - their absence of respectful actions. But I respect their enthusiasm and contributions. Current Steemit doesn't care developing. It is not as good situation - Too biased into proof of stake to maximize return. I agree with what they point out. I was hoping for a compromise between the two systems, but it's a tricky problem and longstanding repetitive to be exhausting. Because it's conflict of faith and perspective. I don't want to enjoy with it by being watched. Also I admit that vot trading among high power users is not useful. I felt the same way when I was a small power user. Adequate allowance for trading is also subjective.
By the way, I'd like to use your pictures sometimes in my Steemit blog if you are OK. Of-course source is indicated.
Yes, I did not forbid anyone to use photographs with the source indicated.
@peterchung I'm sad to hear you want to leave the hive. You've also used my photos in your posts. and it is an award for me, because the results of my photography work can be useful for other people.
Use with caution! Though some people make salads with young leaves, every part of these plants is toxic, and can be fatal.
Yes, it contains alkaloids, like pastel, which I would not dare to eat, but some people eat it with pleasure. I agree with you completely, although the information about this plant is very different, as well as its use in different nationalities. More poisonous is the American species of this plant, phytolacca americana.
love the photograph; not the moon-day reference… so much. 🌚
Yay! 🤗
