David Karp, Sour oranges find sweet spot in California
An orchard in Seville is bearing a good crop. The fruit is loved by Middle
Easterners, Latinos and high-end chefs. Los Angeles Times,
http://www.latimes.com/features/food/la-fo-sourorange13-2010jan13,0,3867910.story
("Like most cultivated citrus, sour oranges originated in the area of
southern China and northeastern India. [Arabs spread them (sour oranges)]
late in the first millennium A.D. -- some 500 years before the cultivation
of sweet oranges in the [Mediterranean] region."
My comment:
(1) sour orange/bitter orange/Seville orange: called 酸橙;苦橙 in China (
Taiwan does not have this)
Until a recent publication (see (5) below), the sour orange and the (sweet)
orange as a fruit are deemed the same species but of different varieties (
much like breeds of the same dog species).
(2) marmalade (n): "a clear sweetened jelly in which pieces of fruit and
fruit rind are suspended"
English definitions in (2) and (7) are from www.m-w.com.
(3) The "tule" in "tule mist":
The traditional definition of the English noun "tule" is a "bulrush," which
is a sedge growing in fresh water near shore. This does not make sense.
Then I finally find this:
tule
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/tule
("marshy, swampy land" in Northern California, quoting The American Heritage
Dictionary of the English Language, 4th ed (2000))
Note the pronunciation, which is Spanish.
(4) pommelo 柚子
(5) Regarding "a recent analysis by Mikeal L. Roose, professor of citrus
genetics at UC Riverside," see
Uzun A et al, Genetic diversity and relationships within Citrus and related
genera based on sequence related amplified polymorphism markers (SRAPs).
Scientia Horticulturae, 142: 3 (2009).

("The authors thank Mikeal L. Roose of the University of California,
Riverside, CA, USA for critical review and suggestions on this manuscript")
(6) rootstock (or simply "stock") versus scion (used in grafting 嫁接(法))
(7) kingpin (n): "1 HEADPIN in bowling 2: the chief person in a group or
undertaking"
(8) The report said, Vita-Pakt sells "the dried peel to brewers of Belgian-
style white ales."
Wheat beer
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_beer
("Two common varieties of wheat beer are witbier ("white beer") based on the
Belgian tradition of using flavourings such as coriander and orange peel *
* * and weissbier (German - "white beer") based on the German tradition of
mixing at least 50% wheat to barley malt to make a light coloured ale. Both
the Belgian witbier and the German weissbier were termed 'white beers'
because historically they were paler than other beers at the time.")
