Sam on Fruit -All About Oranges, Mandarins & Tangerines Spicy Cabbage With Mandarin Oranges Oranges are the most important citrus crop in the world. They are so abundant and ubiquitous that we usually take them for granted. But Americans couldn't always open the refrigerator and grab a glass of orange juice or walk by the corner fruit stand and pick up a navel orange. According to Richard Ray and Lance Walheim, authors of "Citrus, How to Select, Grow and Enjoy" (HP Books, 1980), the story of oranges in America is a kind of a citrus version of how the West was won. In 1841, William Wolfskill planted the first orange tree in Los Angeles. Though he was almost laughed out of town for even thinking of selling oranges, he persevered. He sold oranges to Gold Rush miners and, with the completion of the transcontinental railroad, shipped them to St. Louis in 1877. The California citrus business was off and running. In 1873, Eliza Tibbets was given three branches of an orange variety from Brazil.

By 1878 she had three fruit-bearing trees and had started the navel orange industry in Riverside, Calif. Today, we're all eating descendants of the Washington navel she developed. And one of the three original trees she started with is still alive and bearing fruit. HISTORY In China, as early as 2400 BC, the fragrance of the orange peel was considered a special treat. Trade routes carried the orange to India and Africa, and beyond to the warm, sunny areas of the Mediterranean. Oranges flourished in the Roman Empire until the Lombard invasion of the sixth century broke the trade link between Italy and the Byzantine Empire. Some six centuries later, the "bigarade" or bitter or sour orange was introduced into Spain by Arabs and into Italy and France by Crusaders returning from Palestine. Sour oranges came to the New World with Columbus, and orange seeds from Cuba were planted for the first time in continental America by a member of Cortez's party in 1518. The sweet orange reappeared in Southern Italy and Sicily in the 15th century.

A new, sweeter variety emerged from China in the 16th century but was labeled the Portugal orange because the Portuguese spread it throughout southern Europe. Florida orange trees were planted at St. Augustine in 1565. And in 1769, Franciscan Father Junipero Serra introduced oranges into California. The mandarin orange, a small loose-skinned orange named for the region of China from which it came, was brought to England from China in 1805. WHERE GROWN In general, oranges, like other citrus, thrive in semitropical regions such as Florida and subtropical regions such as California and the Mediterranean. Florida produces about three times the amount of oranges as California. In world orange production, Brazil is the leader, followed by the United States. Because of its huge production, the United States imports comparatively little citrus. Mandarin oranges come primarily from Spain. Oranges also grow in tropical areas, mainly in parts of South and Central America and also in some areas of Southeast Asia. However, tropical fruit is less predictable than fruit from semi-tropical areas because the hot weather matures fruit so quickly.

Also, citrus fruit from tropical areas will often still have a green rind because it takes cool nights for the bright color to set. All this is moot for most consumers, since most tropical oranges and other citrus are consumed locally. However, it does explain why most Florida oranges are turned into juice. That state's climate is warmer and more humid than that of California, where cooler evenings and lower humidity produce more attractive fruit with higher acid levels, though Florida fruit is generally sweeter. The Mediterranean rim produces a variety of oranges, from the bitter or Seville orange of Spain to the Clementine of Morocco, the blood orange of Italy and the Jaffa orange of Israel. Mandarins are widely grown in China and the United States VARIETIES If oranges were royalty - The House of Orange, perhaps - then Valencias and Navels would be this dynasty’s king and queen. The thin-skinned Valencia orange, which originated on the Iberian Peninsula, is the world’s most important commercial variety. Valencias are nearly seedless and are excellent juicers. And the juice doesn’t loose its vitamin C overnight in the refrigerator. Probably the best eating orange in the world is the Navel orange of California.

The Navel is a seedless orange, oval with a thick, easy-to-remove peel and segments that separate cleanly. The navel can be juiced, but the juice must be used immediately or it will become bitter. The word navel comes from the development of a secondary fruit at the end of the main fruit which causes a belly button look. Seville oranges are exported from Spain to Britain (where they are used almost exclusively for making marmalade), though some Seville oranges are grown in Florida. The fragrant and pleasantly sweet Jaffas, also known as Shamouti oranges, are an important Mediterranean orange mostly associated with Israel. Blood oranges, so called because of a pigment that gives the flesh a deep red color reminiscent of blood, have a rich orange flavor with strawberry and raspberry notes. The Moro blood orange has a rounded shape and the Tarocco is more elongated. Both are slightly less acid than other varieties. You might call the mandarin the crowned prince of The House of Orange. Actually, the mandarin has its own large and varied family. Mandarins as a whole are a smaller, slightly flattened variety with loose or puffy skin that is easily separated from the pulp of the fruit.

Hence, the reference as “slip-skin oranges.” Segments are easily separated and the juice has less acid than a normal orange. Mandarins generally fall into four main groups, some of which (but not all) may be considered tangerines. They include Satsumas, Mediterranean mandarins, the King mandarins of Indonesia and the common mandarins which include Clementines and Dancys. Many of the newer varieties are hybrids of members of these groups. The mild and sweet tasting Satsuma is a popular seedless mandarin because it comes in time for the holidays. The Dancy tangerine, introduced to Florida from Morocco, was once the leading commercial variety but is not now widely planted. It is a small to medium in size, with an easily peeled, dark orange skin and lively, rich flavor. The aromatic Honey mandarin (not to be confused, as it often is, with the Murcott) has a slightly flattened shape with a smooth, glossy orange, thin skin that peels easily. The good news is that the flesh is rich, juicy and very sweet. The bad news: lots of seeds.

A word about tangerines: Most consumers and far too many retailers casually use the word tangerine to refer to what is actually a mandarin - in much the same way that butchers call cuts of beef “London Broil” when there is no such cut. Tangerines have no botanical standing. They originally referred to the Dancy Mandarin and stuck when that variety caught on. Now the term tangerine most often refers to any brightly colored mandarin. Hybrids The Clementine is a cross between the mandarin and Seville orange. It is small with an intense flavor. The Fairchild is a cross between the Clementine and the Orlando tangelo. The skin is a deep orange skin, somewhat pebbly and peels easily. It is juicy with a rich and sweet flavor The Tangor is most often called a Temple orange in stores and less frequently a Royal Mandarin. This cross between an orange and a mandarin is larger than a tangerine but smaller than an orange with a red-orange color and easy-to-peel skin. It has a rich, spicy flavor and a Seville-like fragrance. The Tangelo is a hybrid of the mandarin and grapefruit and has five varieties, only two of which are widely available.

The Orlando is a medium to large, flat-round fruit that is juicy and has a mild flavor. More popular is the Minneola, which looks like an orange with a stubby neck or large nipple at the stem end. It has a deep red-orange color and pebbly feel. There are few seeds and the skin peels easily, revealing flesh that has a rich, sharp flavor. SEASONS Seasons for orange varieties overlap, so you can almost guarantee some kind of orange all-year long. The bulk of the naval orange harvest is from November through May, with peak supplies from January through March. Valencias are sometimes called "summer" oranges because they peak in May, June and July, though they begin arriving in February and run through October. Some form of mandarin orange is available from November through April, though supplies can begin as early as mid-October and run into May. Blood oranges from California run mid-December through mid April. Jaffa oranges from Israel arrive in mid-winter. Australian imports are bunched almost entirely in July and August. SELECTION, HANDLING & STORAGE All citrus fruits should be heavy for their size, indicating that they're full of juice. Lighter fruit has more skin and drier pulp.

As Valencias ripen on the tree, they go from green to yellow-orange and then regain a little green tinge starting at the stem end as a result of chlorophyll returning to the peel. Don't confuse this "regreening", as it is called, with immaturity. In general, look for fruit with unblemished skin, absent of wrinkles, soft areas or mold. Florida and Texas sometimes use a dye to enhance the appearance of their fruit for the marketplace and therefore, must be stamped "color added." People with allergies to certain food dyes should be aware of this treatment. Make sure the skins of the oranges you select are nice and shiny. The shinier the skin, the fresher the fruit. (All citrus is waxed to replace natural wax that is removed during the washing process.) Store oranges in a cool place outside the refrigerator and try to use them within a few days. If keeping longer, refrigerate them in a plastic bag or in the vegetable crisper section of the refrigerator.

NUTRITION One medium orange (154 grams or 5.5 ounces of edible pulp) has 80 calories, 21 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of dietary fiber, 1 gram of protein, 120% of the RDA for vitamin C and 4% for calcium. Oranges are also a good source of potassium. One medium mandarin orange or tangerine weighs about 109 grams and contains 45 calories, 1 gram of fat, 16 grams of carbohydrates and 2 grams of dietary fiber. Vitamin C is lower than that of oranges, at 40% of the RDA. (However, note that serving size is about two-thirds of an orange in weight.) Calcium is about the same as an orange or slightly higher, and potassium is somewhat lower. Oranges, along with other citrus, contain substances such as carotenoids, flavonoids and coumarins that are considered powerful anti-carcinogens. Oranges also have high levels of the powerful antioxidant glutathione and cancer-inhibitor glucarate. YIELD Three medium oranges make a pound. It takes 2-4 medium oranges to get 1 cup of juice.

For 1 cup of bite-size pieces you'll need 2 medium oranges, with each orange yielding 10-12 sections. One medium orange provides 4 teaspoons of grated zest or peel. Four or five average size mandarins or tangerines (2 1/4 to 2 3/8-inches in diameter) make a pound. One tangerine yields 3 tablespoons of juice, 1 teaspoon of grated zest or peel, and 10 to 12 segments (18 to 21 per cup.) PREPARATION When a dish calls for sliced oranges, you have your choice of Valencia, navel or blood, depending on the dish. Blood oranges make a particularly dramatic look. To avoid getting the unsightly white pith, use this method: Cut a slice off both ends so that you have a flat, stable surface. Then, with one of the flat surfaces on a cutting board, run a sharp paring knife down from the North to the South poles, slicing off strips of skin and pith as you do. In the beginning, you'll probably take off a little bit more flesh than you'd like. But after a few attempts, you'll be getting only skin and pith.

When you have gone all around the orange, turn it upside down and slice off the small amount that was hard to get at on the bottom. Then you can cut the orange into sections or slices. Some flavorings for oranges: cinnamon, mint, sherry vinegar, orange liqueurs (from Triple Sec to Grand Marnier), chocolate and almonds. ORANGE SALAD WITH OLIVES AND MINT top This kind of salad you can imagine eating anywhere along the Mediterranean, from Morocco to Sicily to Greece. 1 small red onion, peeled and thinly sliced 4 navel oranges, peeled 2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped 12 black olives (preferably oil-cured), pitted and halved 1) Soak onion in ice water for 30 minutes. Drain. 2) Meanwhile, peel oranges as directed above, making sure as much of the white pith as possible is removed. Slice, crosswise as thinly as possible and save any juice that accumulates from the slicing. Lay the oranges in a spiral on a platter. 3) Combine the oil, lemon and orange juice with salt, mint and any of the accumulated orange juice. Strew the onion slices over the oranges. Spread the dressing over both evenly.

Then sprinkle with olives. Serves 4. ORANGES IL GIGLIO top This dish was inspired from a dessert I had at a restaurant in New York called Il Giglio. They wouldn’t give the recipe so I had to guess at the ingredients and the proportions. 4 navel oranges 1 cup Triple Sec or other orange liqueur 1/4 cup brandy 4 mint sprigs 4 almond or chocolate biscotti 1)Peel 2 of the oranges with a vegetable peeler so you get strips about 2 to 21/2 inches long and about 1/2 inch wide. Stack peels. Then cut them into julienne strips. 2)Put peels in a saucepan with cold water just to cover. Bring to a boil and simmer 15 minutes. Drain. Put sugar and 11/2 cups water and drained orange strips into a heavy bottom saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring, and simmer gently about 20 minutes. Let cool in the pan. 3)Meanwhile, peel oranges entirely, removing all the white pith with a sharp paring knife. Then section the oranges by cutting wedges in between the membranes.

Put sections in a shallow dish. Mix orange liqueur with brandy and amaretto. Pour over the sections, cover with plastic and refrigerate until ready to serve, at least several hours. 4)To serve, arrange sections in a ring on a plate. Put candied orange peel in the center and sprinkle all with Grand Marnier. Garnish with fresh mint and serve with almond or chocolate biscotti. Serves 4. BLOOD ORANGE SORBET top The juice of blood oranges makes a dramatic presentation in this dish. Its intense (some might even say ghoulish) color provides a wonderful contrast when paired with pale, thin butter cookies. 7 or 8 blood oranges Approximately 3/4 cup simple syrup (see note at end of this recipe) 2 egg whites 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier 1)Juice oranges, leaving some of the pulp for texture. You’ll need a total of 1-1/2 cups juice and pulp combined. 2)In a mixing bowl, combine juice and pulp with 1/2 cup of simple syrup. Add more syrup in 2-ounce increments until you have the sweetness you desire. Remember, when frozen the sorbet will lose some of its sweetness.

3)Whip the egg whites in a clean bowl until foamy but with no peaks showing. Swish into the juice mixture with a wire whip. 4)Pour into an ice cream maker such as a Donvier or other hand crank model that requires no electricity or salt. Follow directions. Just before the sorbet totally solidifies, add the Grand Marnier. (Alcohol raises the freezing temperature so you shouldn’t put it in until the mixture is almost frozen.) Serve immediately or put into the freezer until you’re ready to serve. Allow to soften slightly before serving. 5)If you don’t have an ice cream maker, put the juice mixture into a shallow pan and freeze. When ready to serve, put in a food processor to puree until smooth and serve immediately. Serves 4. Simple Syrup: Combine 1 cup water and 2 cups sugar in saucepan and bring to boil over medium-high heat. Boil 30-45 seconds until syrup is clear, stirring to make sure sugar isdissolved. Cool and store in the refrigerator. Makes 2 cups.

SPICY CABBAGE WITH MANDARIN ORANGES top The concept of fruit with hearty vegetables like cabbage is something I think should be done more often. Experiment with other combinations. 3 mandarin oranges 1 tablespoon chile oil or 1 chile pepper sautéed a few minutes in 1 tablespoon canola oil 1 pound red cabbage, shredded 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar Cayenne pepper to taste 1)Peel and section oranges, remove membranes and cut in half crosswise. Set aside. 2)Put oil in a wok over medium high eat and add cabbage. Stir a few times, lower heat and cover 5 minutes. 3)Combine vinegar and sugar in a cup. Add salt and cayenne pepper to taste. Add to cabbage and toss well. Cook 1 minute. Add Mandarin orange segments. Toss and cook 1 minute more. Serves 4.

Pumpkin Nook : Pumpkin Parts, Anatomy of a Pumpkin Safely light pumpkins Anatomy of a Pumpkin Pumpkins have been examined, studied, and literally dissected more than any other object. Aside from frogs in Biology class, we can't think of any other item that has been more thoroughly examined in the classroom, or at home. Young and old kids alike, constantly ask "what's this part" or "what's that part called?" Do you know the entire anatomy of a pumpkin? As a pumpkin expert, you will want to be certain of the answer whenever and wherever the question is posed to you. Here is the Complete Pumpkin Anatomy: Stem - Often referred to as the pumpkin's "Handle".

Located on the very top of the pumpkin, the stem is green, when the pumpkin is still growing. As the fruit ripens, it turns brown to brownish green, and slightly curved. During the growing season, the stem is attached to the vine. It is the umbilical cord, bringing nutrients to grow the fruit. For the Fall and Halloween season, the stem gives the pumpkin "Character". Be careful not to lift a pumpkin by its "handle", as it can easily break off. Tendril - Sometimes attached to the stem are thin, hairlike "tendrils" During the growing season, a pumpkin's tendrils on the vine are green. They twist around fences, posts, other plants, and objects on the ground, to help anchor the vine and protect it from the wind. After harvesting, there are sometimes dried, brown tendrils on the stem. This gives the pumpkin character, and is viewed as artistic in pictures. Leaves - The leaves of a pumpkin absorb energy from the sun for plant and fruit growth. They grow along the vine. They do not grow on the stem, or on top of the fruit.

Artist's rendering of fall pumpkins often have a few small, green leaves sitting atop the fruit and attached to the stem. Also, pumpkin leaves are much larger than depicted in these artistic pictures. Once a leaf is removed from the vine, those green leaves can not remain fresh and green for long. The Lid - Cut around the stem of your pumpkin, to open it up for for gutting and carving. This becomes the "lid". Pumpkin Shell - This refers to both the outer skin and the pulp of the fruit. Skin - The thin, shiny, orange outer layer of a pumpkin is called the skin. It is sometimes called the "rind". It is a protective layer, which keep insects and disease out of the fruit. It is not edible. It won't make you sick if you eat it. It just doesn't taste good, or have a pleasurable texture. Pulp - Also called "meat". This is the yummy part of the pumpkin that you use to cook with, and to make literally hundreds of tasty recipes and treats. You can use pumpkin in everything from main courses to desserts, ice cream and even beer! See our cookbook for recipes. Ribs - Look at the outside of a pumpkin.

There are indented ridges running from top to bottom. These are called ribs. Sometimes, they are shallow. Sometimes, they are very deep. They add depth to the appearance of the fruit, and a lot of artistic character. Which do you prefer? Blossom End - When the fruit is very young, a flower blossom is attached to the end of the baby fruit (its bottom). This is the blossom end. The female flower is pollinated, and the fruit then develops. The flower dies, off, leaving a scar in its place. Some call this the pumpkin's belly button. Cavity - This is the inside of a pumpkin. After removing the pumpkin guts, its just an empty cavity. It is also where the candle is placed, to light up the pumpkin and make it glow! Brains - Okay, the proper name is fibrous strands and seeds. However, just about everyone calls them " pumpkin brains". There are many other names for this slimy, mushy, mass of strings and seeds. They include: guts, sinew, goop, goo, pumpkin slime, and just plain old "yucky stuff". Seeds - Seeds are the beginning of next years pumpkins. Do you remember the old saying "Which came first?

The pumpkin or the seed?" Pumpkin seeds are a delicious and nutritious snack. A pumpkin has hundreds of seeds. Seed Coat - also called "seed jacket" or "seed shell". It is the outer layer of the seed. Nature provides this coat, to protect the nut or "seed germ" inside, that will eventually emerge into a pumpkin plant. Nut - Located inside of the seed, the nut, technically called "germ" eventually develops into a new pumpkin. When a seed is planted, moisture penetrating through the seed coat, and warmth triggers the new pumpkin seedling to grow. Halloween decorations, skulls, lights, much more. Belly button - Pictures, Piercing, Hernia, Infections, Healing and Rings Belly Button What Happens Then? The Belly Button: The Facts Known as the navel, umbilicus and tummy button, the belly button is considered as a scar. It is what remains from both the placenta and umbilical cord, back from the days when mother provides all nutrients required by her offspring. The belly button marks the spot where the umbilical cord was once attached, lying at the level corresponding to the junction between the L3 and L4.

It forms a depression on the skin of the abdomen, presenting as a concavity. [1, 2, 3, 4] A photo of the navel or belly button, a scar and remnant of the placenta and umbilical cord. Source: Though rare, conditions and illnesses affecting the umbilicus can still occur. This article will discuss those different conditions, providing you a bird’s eye view on how to take care of the umbilicus, and what to expect if it is severed. Belly Button Infections Unlike the other parts of the body, it does not produce any form of protective substance, thus, the microorganisms present on the belly button represents those found on the entire body, and, consequently, it can harbor pathogenic flora, causing infections. [5] Symptoms of Navel Infections The belly button serves as an environment favorable for the growth of bacteria, and even yeast. Infection of these organisms would lead to manifestations: itching, pain, swelling, redness, bleeding and presence of discharge. This can also be associated with nausea, chills, and fever, if patients are with severe infections.

[6, 7, 8] Body Piercing as A Source of Belly Button Infections One of the most common reasons for belly button infections is body, particularly navel, piercing. As of April 2013, 83% of the Americans had their earlobes pierced, while 14% have body piercings done on parts other than the ear lobes. In this fraction of American population, 72% are women, with navel as their most pierced part, accounting for 33%. Unfortunately, 31% of them have complications, 15.2% needed outpatient consultation, and 0.9% were even hospitalized for treatment. [9] An image of an infected belly button brought about by navel piercing, presented with erythema, blood and pus. Source: Belly Button Infections Among Newborns A persistent umbilical discharge among newborns can require prompt referral and treatment. Neonatal sepsis may present as a purulent, foul smelling umbilical discharge, and may require IV antibiotics to prevent complication like meningitis.

A persistent clear or serous umbilical discharge, on the other hand, may be a manifestation of a patent vitello-intestinal duct, warranting exploration and complete excision. [10, 11] An image showing newborn with an umbilicus having purulent foul smelling discharge indicative of sepsis. Source: Treating Belly Button Infections Proper medical management of belly button infections entails the use of appropriate antibiotics. This can be administered with an anti-inflammatory medication or a pain reliever. Antisepsis technique can be done by washing with saline solution, diluted hydrogen peroxide and alcohol. [6, 7] As for belly button piercings, healing process is quite long, usually three months to a year. Pain, redness, inflammation, crusting, and bleeding are signs of still an incompletely healed piercing. Avoidance of constant touching, as well as swimming in sea or pool water, must be done. [12] Belly Button (Umbilical) Hernia Aside from infections, the belly button can also have problems brought about by its structural weakness. Because of the thin muscular layers found at the area of its concavity, the umbilicus is also prone to the development of hernia.

[2] Umbilical hernia refers to the protrusion seen or felt around the area of the belly button. This develops when a part of the abdomen, either the lining, the intestine or the fluid, sticks out through the abdominal wall musculature. [13] Types of Hernia An hernia is deems reducible if it can be placed back to the abdominal cavity. If it cannot be reduced, it is termed as an incarcerated hernia. The latter type is at increased preponderance for strangulation, further decreasing, and even completely cutting off, blood circulation needed for tissue perfusion. [14, 17] Causes of Umbilical Hernia Common among infants, it usually occurs when there is incomplete closure of the abdominal muscles after birth. It is through these muscles the blood vessels pass, providing nutrients to the then developing fetus. Once the small opening remains, protrusion of a part of the abdomen occurs, hence, creating the bulging hernia.

[13, 15, 16] A photo of an infant with umbilical hernia, or protrusion in the belly button area Source: These can also be present among adults, particularly those who are pregnant, and with certain conditions such as obesity, ascites, and history of previous abdominal surgery. In these conditions, weakness of abdominal muscles may be present due to the enlarged womb, increased size of liver, and huge amount of adipose tissues, respectively. Hence, hernation of these abdominal contents thru the destabilized abdominal muscles may ensue. [17] Symptoms of Herniation of the Belly Button The bulge at the navel can be clearly visible when a person laughs, cries or coughs. Pain and tenderness is usually absent, yet, presence of which may indicate complications. [13, 16, 17] How to Diagnose Umbilical Hernia An umbilical hernia may be diagnosed by a thorough physical examination. Imaging studies and diagnostics, like abdominal xray and ultrasound, can confirm the presence of complications.

[16] Treatment of Navel Herniation Among infants, umbilical hernia closes spontaneously, usually at 1 to 2 years of age. Repair, on the other hand, is indicated in all adults. Immediate surgery is warranted if there is presence of abdominal discoloration and pain, and the possibility of incarceration and especially strangulation, is at hand. [14, 16] Physiologic Changes of the Belly Button During Pregnancy During pregnancy, particularly in the second trimester, navel protrusion is usually noted. The pregnant woman might have an “innie” type of belly button but can acquire “outie” at the time of pregnancy. [1, 18] A photo showing the popping out of the belly button at the second trimester of pregnancy. Source: Why Does the Belly Button Protrude At Pregnancy? This “popped out” belly button is due to the rapidly enlargement of the uterus. The uterus pushes the abdomen anteriorly, and, in turn, the navel bulges and protrudes. [18] What Happens Then? This is just a temporary change and the belly button will gain its original shape after the pregnancy. It is an inevitable and harmless change at pregnancy.

However, the belly button, at this time, has significant changes and is much prone to pain as there is vital skin stretching as the pregnancy progresses. Thus, avoidance of tightly waisted clothes and undergarments is recommended. [18] Ellis, H. (2006). Clinical Anatomy: Applied Anatomy for Students and Junior Doctors. New York: Wiley.

The Ins and Outs of Bellybutton Lint by Joel Guthrie Some scientists gaze into outer space to look for answers. Some scientists seek answers in the depths of the sea. When Georg Steinhauser wanted answers, he looked within himself. Well, he looked within his bellybutton to be exact. The Austrian chemist spent three years researching the contents of his navel and the navels of others. He has solved one of life's greatest mysteries. We now know exactly what bellybutton lint contains!

Steinhauser presented his findings in the online version of the journal Medical Hypotheses. The Vienna University scientist analyzed over 500 samples to determine the exact makeup of the lint. As suspected, most of the lint was made up of cotton from clothing. The fabric pieces are not alone, though. Steinhauser found that the average bellybutton also contained pieces of dead skin, sweat, dust, and fat. Steinhauser's notes also explained how lint accumulates. Stomach hairs tend to grow in a circular pattern around the bellybutton. They hairs act like small hooks, capturing and holding contents within. Shaving stomach hair can lead to a lint-free bellybutton, but don't act too hastily. Although the contents of your navel may be a nuisance, research suggests that lint has a purpose. It is nature's way of protecting your bellybutton from germs and unwanted objects.

NET © Your navel 1 is a round mixing bowl 2 – may it never lack 3 mixed wine! 4 Your belly 5 is a mound of wheat, encircled 6 by lilies. NET © Notes 1 tn The noun שֹׁרֶר (shorer) is a hapax legomenon, appearing in the OT only here.

There is debate whether it means “navel” or “vulva”: (1) Lys and Pope suggest that שֹׁרֶר is related to Arabic srr (“secret place, pudenda, coition, fornication”). They suggest that this is contextually supported by three factors: (a) His descriptive praise of her is in ascending order, beginning with her feet and concluding with her hair. The movement from her thighs ( 7:1 b), to her vulva ( 7:2 a), and then to her waist ( 7:2 b) would fit this. (b) The descriptive comparison to a glass of wine would be grotesque if her navel were in view – her navel was moist or filled with liquid? – but appropriate if her vulva were in view. (c) The navel would be a somewhat synonymous reference to the belly which is already denoted by בִּטְנֵךְ (bitnekh, “belly”) in the following line. Because 7:1-7 does not use synonymous parallelism, the term שֹׁרֶר would have to refer to something other than the belly.

(2) The term שֹׁרֶר denotes “navel”: (a) It may be related to the bi-consonantal noun שֹׁר (shor, “navel, umbilical cord”) ( Prov 3:8 ; Ezek 16:4 ). (b) Mishnaic Hebrew שָׁרָר (sharar) denotes “navel, umbilical cord” (Jastrow 1634 s.v. שָׁרָר). For example, in a midrash on the Book of Numbers, the noun שֹׁרֶר appears in an allusion to Song 7:3 to justify the seating of the Sanhedrin in the middle of the synagogue: “As the navel (שֹׁרֶר) is placed in the centre of the body, so are the Sanhedrin…” (Num. Rab. 1:4). On the other hand, the meaning “vulva” never appears in Mishnaic Hebrew. Therefore, apart from this disputed usage there is no evidence that this term was ever used in this manner in Hebrew.

(c) Rather than שֹׁרֶר being related to Arabic sirr (“pudenda”), it could just as easily be related to the Arabic noun surr “navel.” It is methodologically more sound to define שֹׁרֶר as “navel” than as “vulva.” (d) The nuance “navel” is not as out of line contextually as Lys and Pope suggest. The navel would not be out of place in the ascending order of praise because the בִּטְנֵךְ (“abdomen”) which follows may be viewed as both above and below the navel. The figurative association of the שֹׁרֶר as a mixing bowl filled with wine does not imply that this bodily part must actually be moist or filled with liquid as Pope suggests. The point of comparison is not physical or visual but one of function, i.e., it is intoxicating. The comparison of the navel to a mixing bowl of wine is no more out of line than the comparison of the belly to a heap of wheat in the next line.

In fact, the two go together – she is both the “drink” and “food” for Solomon. The shape of the navel is as congruent with the metaphor of the “round bowl” as the vulva; both are round and receding. (3) Since both terms are derived from the same geminate root – Hebrew שֹׁרֶר and Arabic srr – it is more prudent to take the term as a synecdoche of whole (lower region) for the parts (including navel and vulva). The attempt to decide between these two options may be illegitimately splitting hairs. See K&D 18:123; J. S. Deere, “Song of Solomon,” BKCOT, 199-200; D. Lys, “Notes sur de Cantique,” VTSup 17 (1969): 171-78; M. H. Pope, Song of Songs (AB), 617; G. L. Carr, Song of Solomon (TOTC), 157.

2 sn The expression אַגַּן הַסַּהַר (’aggan hassahar, “round mixing bowl”) refers to a vessel used for mixing wine. Archaeologists have recovered examples of such large, deep, two handled, ring-based round bowls. The Hebrew term אַגַּן (“mixing bowl”) came into Greek usage as ἂγγος (angos) which designates vessels used for mixing wine (e.g., Homer, Odyssey xvi 16) (LSJ 7). This is consistent with the figurative references to wine which follows: “may it never lack mixed wine.” Selected Bibliography: J. P. Brown, “The Mediterranean Vocabulary for Wine,” VT 19 (1969): 158; A. M. Honeyman, “The Pottery Vessels of the Old Testament,” PEQ 80 (1939): 79. The comparison of her navel to a “round mixing bowl” is visually appropriate in that both are round and receding.

The primary point of comparison to the round bowl is one of sense, as the following clause makes clear: “may it never lack mixed wine.” J. S. Deere suggests that the point of comparison is that of taste, desirability, and function (“Song of Solomon,” BKCOT, 202). More specifically, it probably refers to the source of intoxication, that is, just as a bowl used to mix wine was the source of physical intoxication, so she was the source of his sexual intoxication. She intoxicated Solomon with her love in the same way that wine intoxicates a person. 3 tn The phrase אַל־יֶחְסַר (’al-yekhsar) has traditionally been taken as an imperfect: “it never lacks mixed wine” (M. H. Pope, Song of Songs [AB], 619); “which wanteth not liquor” (KJV); “in which liquor is never lacking” (RSV); “that never lacks mixed wine” (JB); “with no lack of wine” (NEB); “that shall never want for spiced wine” (NEB); “that never lacks blended wine” (NIV).

This is also how LXX understood it: μὴ ὑστερούμενος κρᾶμα (mh usteroumenos, “not lacking liquor”). However, the negative אַל (’al) normally precedes a jussive expressing a wish or request: “May it never lack mixed wine!” (J. S. Deere, “Song of Solomon,” BKCOT, 202). This approach is adopted by several translations: “that should never lack for mixed wine” (NASB) and “Let mixed wine not be lacking!” (NJPS). 4 sn The term מָזֶג (mazeg, “mixed wine”) does not refer to wine mixed with water to dilute its potency, but to strong wine mixed with weaker wine. The practice of mixing wine with water is not attested in the Hebrew Bible. Both מָזֶג and מֶסֶךְ (mesekh) refer to strong wine mixed with weaker wine.

The rabbis later distinguished between the two, stating that מָזֶג was strong wine mixed with weak wine, while מֶסֶךְ was wine mixed with water (Aboda Zara 58b). However, both types of wine were intoxicating. Mixed wine was the most intoxicating type of wine. In a midrash on the Book of Numbers a comment is made about the practice of mixing strong wine with weaker wine (e.g., Isa 5:22 ; Prov 23:30 ), stating its purpose: “They used to mix strong wine with weak wine so as to get drunk with it” (Num. Rab. 10:8). See J. P. Brown, “The Mediterranean Vocabulary of Wine,” VT 19 (1969): 154. The comparison of a wife’s sexual love to intoxicating wine is common in ancient Near Eastern love literature. Parallel in thought are the words of the Hebrew sage, “May your fountain be blessed and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.

A loving doe, a graceful deer – may her love (or breasts) always intoxicate you, may you ever stagger like a drunkard in her love” ( Prov 5:18-19 ). 5 tn Alternately, “your waist.” The term בִּטְנֵךְ (bitnekh) probably refers to the woman’s “belly” rather than “waist.” It is associated with a woman’s abdominal/stomach region rather than her hips ( Prov 13:25; 18:20 ; Ezek 3:3 ). The comparison of her belly to a heap of wheat is visually appropriate because of the similarity of their symmetrical shape and tannish color. The primary point of comparison, however, is based upon the commonplace association of wheat in Israel, namely, wheat was the main staple of the typical Israelite meal ( Deut 32:14 ; 2 Sam 4:6; 17:28 ; 1 Kgs 5:25; Pss 81:14; 147:14 ). Just as wheat satisfied an Israelite’s physical hunger, she satisfied his sexual hunger.

J. S. Deere makes this point in the following manner: “The most obvious commonplace of wheat was its function, that is, it served as one of the main food sources in ancient Palestine. The Beloved was both the ‘food’ (wheat) and ‘drink’ (wine) of the Lover. Her physical expression of love nourished and satisfied him. His satisfaction was great for the ‘mixed wine’ is intoxicating and the ‘heap of wheat’ was capable of feeding many. The ‘heap of wheat’ also suggests the harvest, an association which contributes to the emotional quality of the metaphor. The harvest was accompanied with a joyous celebration over the bounty yielded up by the land. So also, the Beloved is bountiful and submissive in giving of herself, and the source of great joy” (“Song of Solomon,” BKCOT, 203-204). 6 tn Heb “fenced around by.” with all of the words with the phrase with at least one of the words without the words Pain In and Around the Belly Button, Infections, Discharge | eHealthStar Last reviewed: January 16, 2017 What is the belly button and where is it located?

The belly button is a scar in your abdominal wall where the umbilical cord was attached when you were still in the mother’s womb. Other names for the belly button: navel, umbilicus, umbilical dip, tummy button. The belly button is located in the middle of the lower part of your abdomen, about 2-3 inches below your waist line. The only organs placed directly under the belly button are the abdominal wall muscles and the small intestine. In most infants, the belly button bulges out a bit (“outie”), and in most children and adults it is more or less depressed (“innie”).

Causes of Belly Button Pain Bacterial Infection Causes: the bacteriaÂ Staphylococcus aureus (staph) or Streptococcus pyogenes (strep) Risk factors: bad hygiene, obesity, scratching or rubbing, a cut, piercing, a sebaceous cyst , a foreign object, steroids or immunosuppressant drugs (in Crohn’s disease), a wound after surgery or laparoscopy Symptoms: Folliculitis: red, itchy bumps with occasional white centers filled with pus Cellulitis: red, thick, tender and warm skin in and around the navel, possibly mild fever Abscess: a soft lump up to a size of a golf ball, occasionally draining pus Treatment: antibiotic creams, oral antibiotics, abscess drainage References: (9,14,15) Urachal Cyst The urachal cyst develops from the urachus–a remnant of the duct withing the umbilical cord through which a fetus drains urine from the bladder. Rarely, this duct remains open in children or young adults and drains urine through the belly button or becomes infected. Symptoms: pain between the belly button and the pubic area.

An abscess in the belly button or an opening (fistula) with clear or thick discharge from the belly button can develop. Treatment: antibiotics, drainage or surgical removal of the cyst. References:Â (5,6,10,13) Other Causes A pilonidal sinus is an abnormal tissue that develops as a reaction to growing hair. It usually appears above the sacrum and rarely in or near the belly button. Symptoms may include a painful lump with hair and redness in the belly button and leaking pus or blood (31). Treatment may include antibiotics, drainage, hair removal or surgical removal of the sinus. Endometriosis–the endometrial tissue outside the uterus–can present as a painful nodule in the belly button that can bleed during menstruation (32). Treatment is with excision of a nodule. 2. Pain AROUND the Belly Button Umbilical or Paraumbilical Hernia in Adults Umbilical or paraumbilical hernia is a protrusion of the small intestine between the muscles in or near the belly button.

Risk factors: pregnancy, obesity, persistent coughing, abdominal surgery, a large abdominal tumor, accumulation of the fluid in the abdomen in liver or kidney disease (ascites) Symptoms: a soft bulge–of the skin color, red, grey or blue and up to few inches big–near the belly button; coughing and straining can cause discomfort, pressure, pain or burning feeling. Treatment is by surgical repair of the muscles near the belly button. Reference:Â (3) In infants, umbilical hernia is common but rarely painful (6). Pregnancy Causes of pain around the belly button during pregnancy: Umbilical hernia Stretching of the abdominal wall muscles The pressure of the fetus upon the belly button (in late pregnancy) Appendicitis Appendicitis is an inflammation (usually acute) of the appendix.

Symptoms: Anorexia Vague pain that initially appears in the belly button area and, within several hours, moves to the lower right abdominal quadrant or rarely to upper right abdomen, right flank or the rectum, becomes severe and stabbing and is aggravated by coughing Nausea, vomiting, constipation and low-grade fever after the pain Signs: Tenderness in the lower right quadrant Rovsing sign (rebound tenderness): applying a pressure upon the left lower abdomen and quickly releasing it triggers pain in the right lower abdomen. Treatment is by surgical removal of the appendix. Reference:Â (1) Psoriasis Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition withÂ red or silvery white, itchy or burning patches with occasional painful cracks around the belly button, knees, elbows, scalp, back, hands or feetÂ (8). Treatment includes topical and oral anti-psoriatic medications. 3.

Pain ABOVE the Belly Button Acute gastritis (stomach infection):Â loss of appetite, burning pain and nausea, burping (33) Gastric ulcer:Â gnawing pain, which can be relieved or aggravated by eating, feeling of fullness, heartburn and–if bleeding–black stoolÂ (2) Duodenal ulcer:Â deep pain usually relieved by eating (2) Acute pancreatitis:Â severe, constant upper abdominal and back pain –which can last for several hours or days and can be worse after eating–, nausea, vomiting and fever (17). 4.

Pain UNDER (BEHIND) and BELOW the Belly Button Bladder Problems Bladder infection (cystitis):Â pain about 5 inches below the belly button, frequent urination, cloudy, smelly urine and low-grade fever Interstitial cystitis :Â very frequent urination, mainly in women; the pain is relieved by emptying the bladder Bladder cancer:Â pain in the bladder, blood in the urine Reference: (11) Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) IBS pain is often located below the belly button but can appear anywhere else in the abdomen; other common symptoms include bloating, loose stools or constipation shortly after meals (34). Crohn’s Disease Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, mainly the small intestine, most commonly in young adults. Common symptoms include pain below the belly button or in lower right abdominal quadrant, chronic diarrhea, nausea, weight loss, fatigue and skin rash (30).

Urachus with Pulling Pain Some, mainly young, people describe a sharp, shooting pain in the belly button that travels down to the bladder, penis, vagina, clitoris, urethra or groin when they stand up quickly, urinate, or press or pull the belly button upwards, usually when they have full bladder; some describe it as a string going down from the belly button (35). The pain may originate from the urachus, which isÂ a remnant of the duct that connects the bladder and umbilicus in the fetus. If necessary, the urachus can be surgically removed. 5. Pain on the RIGHT or LEFT Side of the Belly Button Shingles:Â burning, itchy, crusty rash that travels along the spinal nerve from the spine around the trunk toward the belly button Urinary stones :Â sudden, severe, colic pain on the left or right side of the abdomen, which can radiate to the groin, and burning urination Bulging or herniated discs or arthritis of the thoracic spine can be associated with pinched spinal nerves that can cause pain on the right or left side of the belly button. 6.

Belly Button Pain in CHILDREN Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Urinary tract infections in children can present with pain around the belly button, frequent urination and cloudy and smelly urine (29). Umbilical Granuloma and Polyp In newborns, a granuloma–1 mm to 1 cm pink, crumby lesion with or without drainage–can develop after the umbilical cord separation (6). A polyp is a congenital lesion that appears as a 1 to 4 cm bright red, soft mass with occasional discharge in the belly button, mainly in male infants; rarely only in adulthoodÂ (6,16). Omphalitis Omphalitis is a bacterial infection of the umbilical stump in newborns withÂ purulent discharge (7). Other Causes Abdominal migraine (mainly in children before puberty)Â refers to central abdominal pain of unknown reason lasting 1-72 hours, vomiting, dizziness and sensitivity to light (photophobia)Â (25).
