    Ernesto Garcia, a farmer and vegetable specialist, dedicates himself to the production of chicuarote peppers, endemic to the San Gregorio Atlapulco area in the Xochimilco district of Mexico City, since he is a child. He says he begins sowing seeds on a chinampa between March and April, and within a period of approximately 4 to 5 months, they reach their peak harvest time, allowing them to harvest different sizes and shades of peppers.

    Half a kilo of chicuarote peppers costs $35 pesos.

    Ernesto asserts that one of the threats to the chicuarote chile begins with its growing location and climatic conditions: excess water can ruin the crop, or excessive heat due to humid conditions impacts the chile's growth and spiciness. The presence of some chile predators, such as gophers and insect larvae like ladybugs, also has a negative impact.

    The chicuarote chile remains a family heirloom because the region's oldest inhabitants are the ones who master recipes that include this ingredient and share them with their children and grandchildren.

    A characteristic dish of the chicuarote chile is salsa, which can be made raw, boiled, or fried, using onion and a large garlic clove in olive oil, tomatoes, and salt, all ground in a mortar or blender. (Photo by Gerardo Vieyra/NurPhoto)

    Scientists have ground a smartphone into dust using a food blender – to better understand the materials used to make them and the environmental impact.Every year, 1.4 billion mobile phones are produced around the world.The experiment was designed to find out what are they made of, where those materials come from, and what is the best thing to do with them at the end of their life.Researchers s at the University of Plymouth in the UK blended an entire Apple mobile phone to dust, and then conducting a chemical analysis of the dissolved results.They hope to demonstrate why humanity should all take a keener interest in what is contained within everyday electrical items.They also want to show the quantities of rare or so-called ‘conflict’ elements each phone contains, and encourage greater recycling rates once the devices reach the end of their useful lives.The project was conceived by Dr Arjan Dijkstra and Dr Colin Wilkins, geologists from the University’s School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences.
