Apricot Day + Día del Albaricoque [Eng+Spa]

Tuesday night, January 9. It has been a beautiful and peaceful day, the kind of days I love to have in my #life. My closest sister called today and we had a pleasant telephone chat. In these times, maintaining contact thanks to networks and calls is something that is comforting, despite physical distances.

There is not much more to talk about my personal things. I might just have to point out that it's been a particularly cold day for a tropical country, but that's normal for this part of the year. Furthermore, I live in a mountainous area that usually has a fairly cool climate and frequent breezes.

Since there is nothing left to say about me, let's move on to comment on the anniversary that I chose for today, which is one on the topic of #food, but this time it is a day dedicated to a #fruit. It's 'Apricot Day'.

Noche del martes, 9 de enero. Ha sido un día hermoso y tranquilo, del tipo de días que amo tener en mi #vida. Mi hermana más cercana llamó hoy y tuvimos una agradable charla telefónica, en estos tiempos mantener el contacto gracias a las redes y a las llamadas es algo que consuela, a pesar de las distancias físicas.

No hay mucho más que contar de mis cosas personales. Quizás solo tenga que señalar que ha sido un día particularmente frío para un país tropical, pero eso es normal en esta parte del año. Además, vivo en una zona montañosa que suele tener un clima bastante fresco y de brisa frecuente.

Siendo que no queda nada que decir de mí, mejor pasemos a comentar sobre la efeméride que escogí para hoy, que es una del tema de la #comida, pero en esta oportunidad es un día dedicado a una #fruta. Es el ‘Día del Albaricoque’.

This fruit is part of the peach family, which is a fruit that I know well and have consumed on many occasions. The #apricot is also called: Damask, chabacano, mayuelo or albérchigo. I was interested that the origin of the plant is Asian, perhaps from lands that today are part of China (2000 BC). Although its #plant genetic origin may be from a large area that even includes part of Korea and the southern border of Russia.

This fruit is born from the apricot tree, and owes its characteristic color to a high presence of β-carotene. It's spread outside Asia seems to have been due to trade, on a route that passed through territories that today are part of Russia and Armenia, among others. Its cultivation in Europe developed well for centuries, and when the Renaissance arrived, the voyages of exploration, conquest, and colonization brought this fruit to America.

Esta fruta es familia del durazno, que es una fruta que conozco bien y he consumido en bastantes oportunidades. El #albaricoque se le llama también: Damasco, chabacano, mayuelo o albérchigo. Me interesó que el origen de la planta es asiático, puede que de tierras que hoy en día son parte de China (2000 a.C.). Aunque puede que su origen genético #vegetal sea de un área extensa que incluso incluya parte de Corea y la frontera sur de Rusia.

Esta fruta es nacida del árbol albaricoquero, y debe su característico color a una alta presencia de β-caroteno. Su propagación fuera de Asia parece que se debió al comercio, en una ruta que pasó por territorios que hoy en día son parte de Rusia y Armenia, entre otros. Su cultivo en Europa se desarrolló bien durante siglos, y al llegar el renacimiento, los viajes de exploración, conquista y colonización, llevo a esta fruta a América.

By the way, the origin of this holiday is due to a National Day of Celebration established in the United States in 1977, by the United States Department of Agriculture. And although the first specimens of this plant that arrived at the continent traveled with the help of British colonists (18th century), who settled on the coast of Virginia. The certain thing is that its greatest success came from the Spanish colonizers, who introduced and cultivated it in California, I think in San Diego.

Despite how good the fruit may seem to us, in reality we had to wait until the 20th century (1916) for extensive cultivation of great commercial value to be established, a fact that came from the hand of John Muir and Luther Burbank. It is from this date that its presence and value increases, becoming in a few decades one of the most consumed fruits in its domestic market.

Personally, I remember eating apricots in syrup, preserves and jam, but I admit that I find them an exotic fruit. I am most familiar with peaches. However, I would really like to be able to try these fresh fruits one of these days. I guess it's one of those wishes that I will have on my 'to do' list (personal smile).

Well, I say goodbye, wishing you that you are well and that we can read again another time.

Por cierto, el origen de esta festividad es por un día nacional de celebración establecido en Estados Unidos en 1977, por el Departamento de Agricultura de Estados Unidos. Y si bien los primeros ejemplares de esta planta que llegaron al continente viajaron de mano de colonos británicos (siglo XVIII), que se establecieron en la costa de Virginia. La cosa cierta es que su mayor éxito vino de mano de colonizadores españoles, que la introdujeron y cultivaron en California, creo que en San Diego.

A pesar de lo bueno que nos parezca la fruta, en realidad hubo que esperar hasta el siglo XX (1916) para que se estableciera un cultivo extensivo y de gran valor comercial, hecho que vino de la mano de John Muir y Luther Burbank. Es a partir de esta fecha que se aumenta su presencia y valor, llegando en unas décadas a convertirse en una de las frutas más consumidas en su mercado interno.

En lo personal, recuerdo haber comido albaricoques en almíbar, en conserva y en mermelada, pero admito que me resulta una fruta exótica. Estoy más familiarizado con los duraznos. Sin embargo, me gustaría mucho poder probar un día de estos estas frutas frescas. Supongo que es uno de esos deseos que tendré en mi lista de ‘pendientes de realizar’ (sonrisa personal).

Bien, ya me despido, deseándote que tú estés bien y que nos podamos leer de nuevo en otra oportunidad.
