So far, people are more familiar with citrus or mango as a source of vitamin C. There is one more fruit vitamin C content was high enough, ie, pepino or people used to call as a fruit melody. However, it is unclear why call it that. The fruit is shaped like an eggplant, which is different is the color. In general, the pepino has a green base color with a groove pattern that can change brown line when cooked yellow or purple and white speckled with dark purple hue line.

Mardi, traders in the market pepino Pondok Labu, South Jakarta, revealed that this plant is often referred to as the emergence of eggplant lines that became his trademark line. "It's not as popular as regular eggplant because it feels a bit strange. Not sweet, not sour, not too bland. There's also say sweet. In order to feel fresh and sweeter, when blended usually add honey, milk, or sugar, "he said.

Pepino (Solanum muricatum Aiton) is a fruit that is still a family with eggplant family. In Indonesia, the fruit was first imported in the period of Dutch rule.

Abroad, especially in China, this plant several times investigated and proved to have no toxic effects to the body. Seriously now being developed as a raw material ulcer drugs because its vitamin C content and disorder constipation reliever. Chinese herbal products from raw material pepino sold in Indonesia.

The emergence of the recognition of empirically well-grounded in fact because every 100 grams of pepino contain vitamin C of 25.1 mg, 0.6 grams protein, 26.6 mg beta-carotene, and 1 to 1.5 grams of which are dietary fiber (dietary fiber).

Pssst! Want to make barely enough money to pay for one stop at a toll booth on I-80? Then wager $30 on the Chicago Blackhawks to maintain their series lead and win the NHL Western Conference Finals.

These are not exaggerations. These are the actual odds going into the weekend at online sports books as the Blackhawks-Sharks series resumes at the United Center in Chicago.

You can absolutely still bet on a series once it's already started, but the odds are adjusted to reflect the current status of the series.

The Sharks' current status is "Just so we don't get swept". The Blackhawks' current status is "We're talking to our banner design people." This is reflected in the gambling odds.

At a gambling site like SportsBetting.com, a proposition on the Sharks coming back and winning the series is at +430. That is, one would win a whopping $430 for just a $100 bet. If one won.

The prop on the Blackhawks to win, now that they're well up in the series and playing at home, is -600. You would have to spend $600 to make $100. You would have to gamble six times the amount you'd stand to win.

So good luck, Internet gamblers. Fortune favors the brave! Unless it favors those who are down with just extremely meager winnings.
