Mustikkapöperö
Mustikkapöperö (also known as pöperö, pöpörö, pöppi or pöllöhillo) is a traditional Finnish dish. It is made by mixing crushed blueberries and finely milled flour mixture (Talkkuna). Talkkuna is only used to add flavour, however it will become bitter if too much is added. Some people also add sugar to Mustikkapöperö, and in newer recipes whipped cream or buttermilk can be added for example on top of or mixed in with the berries. To make authentic mustikkapöperö you can only use talkkuna that is made from toasted oats. Pöperö is usually eaten when you have fresh blueberries. Pöperö has traditionally been made from lingonberries, and some people add currants if there are not enough blueberries. This dish is mainly known in the province of Häme Häme (; Swedish: ''Tavastland'', Latin: ''Tavastia'') is the name of a geographical region in Finland, associated with the Tavastians, or Häme people (''hämäläiset''), a subgroup of the Finnish people.

Nowadays it is used for making some desserts. It is mostly enjoyed for breakfast mixed with milk, buttermilk or kefir as mush. It is frequently sweetened with sug ...

Sugar
Sugar is the generic name for sweet-tasting, soluble carbohydrates, many of which are used in food. Simple sugars, also called monosaccharides, include glucose, fructose, and galactose. Compound sugars, also called disaccharides or double sugars, are molecules made of two bonded monosaccharides; common examples are sucrose (glucose + fructose), lactose (glucose + galactose), and maltose (two molecules of glucose). White sugar is a refined form of sucrose. In the body, compound sugars are hydrolysed into simple sugars. Longer chains of monosaccharides (>2) are not regarded as sugars, and are called oligosaccharides or polysaccharides. Starch is a glucose polymer found in plants, the most abundant source of energy in human food. Some other chemical substances, such as glycerol and sugar alcohols, may have a sweet taste, but are not classified as sugar. Sugars are found in the tissues of most plants. Honey and fruits are abundant natural sources of simple sugars. Suc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tavastia (historical Province)
Tavastia ( non, Tafæistaland; sv, Tavastland; fi, Häme; Old Russian ''Ямь'' or ''Емь'') is a historical province in the south of Finland. It borders Finland Proper, Satakunta, Ostrobothnia, Savonia and Uusimaa. Administration From 1997 to 2010 Tavastia was divided between the administrative provinces of Southern Finland and Western Finland. However, these provinces have been abolished, and Tavastia is now divided among five regions of Finland: mainly Tavastia Proper (Kanta-Häme), Päijänne Tavastia and Central Finland with smaller parts in Pirkanmaa and Kymenlaakso. Tavastia is the Latin name for the Tavastia Proper. Today the area is called Häme region and it is located in the southwestern section of the historical Tavastia province.

The construction of the Häme castle began in the 1260s, on the orders of Birger Jarl. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
