Tortilla Thursday Trouble Presents Today´s Short Story

A blue movement: A short history of BLUEBERRY

The blueberry may be small, but it´s no youngster. Botanist estimate that blueberries burst onto the scene more than 13,000 years ago!

Blueberries are indigenous to North America. When Europeans arrived on the continent, the Native Americans were already enjoying blueberries year-round. They dried blueberries in the sun and added them whole to soups, stews and meat, or crushed them into a powder rubbed into meat as a preservative. According to legend, Native Americans gave blueberries to the pilgrims to help them make it through their first winter.

The Native Americans were just as energized by blueberries as people are today, and developed folklore around the dynamic little blue fruit. Tribal elders recounted how the Great Spirit sent “star berries” to ease the children´s hunger during a famine. They called blueberries “Star Berries” because the blossom end of each berry – the calyx- forms a perfect five-pointed star.

The Native Americans used blueberries for medicinal purposes and developed one of the first blueberry baked goods, which they called Sautauthig (pronounced sawi-taw-teeg). Sautauthig became popular among the settlers too, and many historians believe it was part of the first Thanksgiving feast.

Tapioca Tuesday Touch Presents Today´s Short Story

An orange movement: A short story of PUMPKIN

A pumpkin, a vegetable as old as the Earth… well, maybe not so old. The oldest evidence, pumpkin-related seeds date between 7000 and 5500 B.C. The pumpkin was perfect for seafaring explorers from all over the world to bring back to their countries. The older pumpkins are believed to be more of the crooked neck variety not the creased orange or gray ones you see today.  Many archeologists believe that pumpkins were first farmed with sunflowers and beans in small settlements.

Maybe you are wondering, what is the word origin? Well, the word pumpkin comes from The British Pumpion which came from the French word Pompon, which came from the ancient Greek, Pepon which was also a word for a melon. You can see how words change similar to the proverbial line of 100 people whispering the same sentence one at a time in the next person ear.

Now, the pumpkin is a symbol in this month. Trough out a lot of history, we have Jack O´ Lanterns for Halloween.  So, enjoy the pumpkin now that you can.
