Happy first day of fall from Florida! 🍂

💡 Did you know? 💡
The green turtle is named for the greenish color of its body fat, is listed as endangered in Florida.
Most green turtles nest in the Caribbean but
500 to 2000 nests are recorded in Florida each year. Green turtles have been hunted for centuries for their meat and gelatinous "calipee" that is made into soup.
Hunting and egg gathering have reduced their number greatly.
Green turtles are the only sea turtles that eat plants. They graze on the vast beds of sea
grasses found throughout the tropics.
Some populations travel over a thousand miles
over open ocean to nest on islands in the mid-Atlantic.

Florida pineapple days -

It’s hard to imagine today but Florida was filled with pineapple plantations in the late 1800’s. Long before citrus, pineapples were being cultivated. Crates of the fruit were shipped by boats from the Florida Keys and Merritt Island on the east coast of Florida to cities in the northeast. They were nicknamed “pines,” because they resembled a pine cone.

Florida Keys pineapples - In the rocky Florida Keys pineapple cultivation started in the 1860s. Benjamin Baker, known as “King of Wreckers” for his engagement in the business of salvaging ships, grew pineapples on Plantation Key, typically shipping them by schooner to New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia.

Spring rolls and matcha ice cream are the 🐝🦵
