Hemp seeds, or hemp hearts, pack 9.5 grams of protein per ounce, making them the highest-protein seed. They’re also a complete protein, providing all nine essential amino acids.
Dehulled hemp seeds (also known as hemp nuts, hemp kernels or hemp hearts) have a protein digestibility corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS) of 0.66, with lysine being the limiting amino acid (digestibility of 92.1%). [3] [10] With its gluten content as low as 4.78 ppm, hemp is attracting attention as a gluten-free (<20 ppm) food material. [4] [9]
Oxalate also forms coordination compounds where it is sometimes abbreviated as ox. It is commonly encountered as a bidentate ligand. When the oxalate chelates to a single metal center, it always adopts the planar conformation. As a bidentate ligand, it forms a 5-membered MC 2 O 2 ring. An illustrative complex is potassium ferrioxalate, K 3 [Fe ...
Cocky Bennett of Tom Ugly's Point in Sydney was a celebrated sulphur-crested cockatoo who reached an age of 100 years or more. He had lost his feathers and was naked for much of his life, and died in the early years of the twentieth century. His body was stuffed and preserved after death. [26]
The Tanimbar corella (Cacatua goffiniana), also known as Goffin's cockatoo or Tanimbar cockatoo, is a species of cockatoo endemic to forests of Yamdena, Larat, and Selaru, all islands in the Tanimbar Islands archipelago in Indonesia. [4] [5] [6] It has been introduced to the Kai Islands, Indonesia, [6] Puerto Rico, and Singapore. [1]
It may be the largest cockatoo species and largest parrot in Australia, although large races of yellow-tailed black cockatoos and sulphur-crested cockatoos broadly overlap in size. It is a distinctive bird with a large crest and has one of the largest bills of any parrot (only the hyacinth macaw 's is larger).
Greater sulphur-crested cockatoos feed on flowers, seeds, grasses, fruits, and roots. They occasionally eat insect larvae. Since the early 1900s they have been documented stealing crops and seeds from Australian farmers. A few individuals will scout farms that have freshly sown seeds or plants that have just begun to sprout.
It is white, with a large yellow crest that it can raise. It is 45–55 cm (18–22 in) long, weighing 550–600 g (19–21 oz) and can live up to 40 years. [6] [7] This subspecies differs from the Australian greater sulphur-crested cockatoo in that it is smaller, with broader crest feathers and has a pale blue periophthalmic ring instead of white.
