Beets are a food plant that began growing along the coastlines of the eastern hemisphere. They are known for growing in many different regions because of their ability to sustain different climate conditions and that they are able to grow easily. Beets are among one of the many types of food plants that can be eaten completely. That includes consuming the beet greens. Nowadays we see beets being canned in order to ensure their safety. If the beets are not canned properly they risk being affected by botulism. According to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, canned beets have been identified as canned beets from the definition. With canned sliced beets, it generally just means canned beets but sliced regardless of the shape of the beets …show more content…
They also contain a certain pigment called betalain which gives the beets their rich colors. When buying foods, most consumers believe in purchasing fresh foods rather than canned. However research has showed that whether buying fruits or vegetables that are canned or brought out fresh, they contain almost similar nutritional statuses. The only difference is the amount of sodium within the food. For canned beets, there is a higher amount of sodium content than with fresh raw beets. After comparing two different brands of canned beets, one of the brands had contained more amounts of sodium and calories. The Libby Sliced Beets can contain about 875 mg of sodium and about 140 calories whereas in the Hengstenberg Sliced Beets had about 390 mg of sodium and about 55 calories. According to Libby and many other canned brands, the levels of sodium and calorie content are exaggerated almost 30%. After observing both products, I saw the Libby Sliced Beets had a U.S. grade standard of Grade C. This product had listed a small ingredient list which consisted of beets, salt, and water. From this list we can see that this product didn’t go through very much processing. Most canned beets contain no added additives or preservatives. This helps the food in keeping all of the nutrients and vitamins within the food from the day it was processed and packaged to the end of the expiration date. According to the BBC good food Guide, some safety issues with eating beets could lead to promoting beeturia. Beeturia is when the individual’s urine or stool turns into a red or pink state of color. If this happens, this doesn’t damage the human body. Factors affecting beeturia depends on the type of beet, planting season, preparation, and how the intestines are functioning.

It not only tastes better, but are closer to a maximum of nutrition than store-bought produce (Source D)
People from all over the world, from every walk of life, regardless of color, age, gender or religious beliefs all have one thing in common, that is to consume food in order to survive. Many places around the world have food scares yet America has access to a lavish selection of crops to choose from. The most nutritious part of any human’s diet is a result of insect pollination. In such manner, pesticide use is causing honey bee colony collapse disorder putting their existence in grave danger and posing major food source shortages.
We initially cut six uniform barrels of beet utilizing a cork borer. We ensured that the majority of the barrels were a similar size. Next, we put the chambers of beet tissue hotel in a beaker and flushed them with tap water for two minutes keeping in mind the end goal to wash the betacyanin from the harmed cells at first glance. They were washed similarly, and a while later we disposed of the shaded flush water. Delicately, we put each of the beets into various, dry test tubes. While moving the beets we were mindful so as to make an effort not to cut, squash, or generally harm them. At long last we marked the test tubes 1-6. We utilized cold and hot medicines for various test tubes. For the cool treatment, we put 2 tubes in ice (5 and 6).

All around the world honeybees are vanishing at an alarming rate, according to the documentary Vanishing of the Honeybees. This film features two commercial bee keepers and their fight to preserve their bee numbers. David Hackenburg was the first commercial bee keeper to go public the bee population was decreasing. Approximately two billions bees have vanished and nobody knows the reason why. Honeybees are used all across America to help pollinate monoculture crops like broccoli, watermelon, cherries, and other produce. Without the honeybees the price for fresh and local produce would be too much money. According, to this film commercial bee keeper’s help fifteen billion dollars of food get pollinated by commercial

The bee decline is in part because of the invasive species that bees cannot naturally adapt to (Tirado, 2014). Varroa mites are a big problem for bees right now. Bee colonies die within 1 to 2 years when infested with varroa mites; they attach themselves to bees and are transported from colony to colony (The University of Georgia, 2015). These mites attach themselves to the inside of a bee’s body and consume its blood until the bee dies (Jorgensen, n.d.). How about fruits, vegetables, coffee, even shampoo or lotion?
What do you think when you think of bees? I think of honey, pollination, and soon, new life. According to Walt D. Osborne, “Bees are vital for the pollination of more than 90 fruit and vegetable crops worldwide, including almonds, peaches, soybeans, apples, pears, cherries, raspberries, blackberries, cranberries, watermelons, cantaloupes, cucumbers, and strawberries,” (Osborne 9-11) but each year a large percent of hives have vanished due to many different factors such as stress. Most people would declare that the average honey bee is insufficiently important to the world because bees are pests to home owners everywhere, but bees are extremely important to earths’ survival than any other pollinator in the world; they help pollinate most of the world’s agriculture; yet in the recent years bee populations have plummeted rapidly. I am writing this paper to create awareness that the agricultural society ought to stop or lessen the spraying of pesticides/ insecticides on crops, unnatural diets and overcrowding in the hives.
The botulinum bacteria if left to grow will produce spores and create a deadly toxin that can result in food borne botulism. The bacterium, C. botulinum is present in soil and in marine sediment. The spores can be found on fruits and vegetables, but the spores are harmless at this stage, because to grow and to create toxins, it needs a low oxygen, low acid environment.
The two main types of bees are honeybees and bumblebees. You probably never knew but honeybees and bumblebees are very different insects. One of the main differences is their bodies. A honeybee has a slender, wasp-like body, bearing a stronger, more obvious pattern of stripes. A honeybee can only see certain colors including yellow, blue-green, blue, violet, ultraviolet, and also a color known as "bee's purple," a mixture of yellow and ultraviolet.

...not detrimental, and it’s always possible for people to build up a good relationship with bees. It is quite challenging, but the bees have a job to do and threatening their quality of life will consequentially threaten everyone’s. Another possible choice is to join a local beekeepers' association to become better informed about the care and keeping of honeybees and other steps you can take to stimulate colony growth and combat CCD. Scientists also have been working overtime in an attempt to determine the cause of CCD. They have linked CCD to many factors including the Varroa mite and Nosema. Recently, a Harvard biologist published a study directly linking the pesticide imidacloprid. Still the consensus is that multiple factors are to blame which is why many scientists are looking at ways to improve a honey bee’s health and immune system as the potential solution.
There is a wide variety of natural preservatives, like salt and sugar, are often used in preserving canned fruits, as well as various types of canned or jarred vegetables. Nitrates and nitrites are well known artificial preservatives that can be found in many processed meats, such as meat and bacon, and are formed by naturally occurring sodium chloride which is found in table salt.
