The pronunciation of yerba mate in Spanish is [ˈʒeɾβa ˈmate]. [9] The stress on the word mate is on the first syllable. [9] The word hierba means “grass” in Spanish, the initial “h” being silent; Yerba is a variant of the spelling of Hierba used throughout Latin America. [11] Yerba can be understood as an “herb”, but also as a “weed” or “weed”. In Argentina, yerba refers exclusively to the yerba mate plant. [11] Yerba mate was therefore originally literally translated as “pumpkin grass”, that is, the grass that is drunk from a pumpkin. [ref. needed] Lots of different products and good prices. They delivered quickly. But I noticed a problem: every time I want to order different brands og mate, some of them are out of stock. If this brand is back in stock, another brand is now out of stock, which means I have to place multiple orders and thus pay additional shipping costs Dear Federico, thank you for taking the time to write us a review. Unfortunately, we have no influence on when Swiss Post leaves the parcel for collection at the post office.

We`re sorry it took you a while to pick up the package, but we`re glad to hear that you finally have the products and can enjoy them. If you need more information or help in the future, you can contact us at info@mate-tee.de Sincerely, Delicatino Team Research also shows that mate supplements can alter the concentration of members of the ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase (E-NTPDase) family, resulting in increased levels of extracellular ATP, ADP and AMP. This was found during chronic (15 days) intake of an aqueous extract of mate and could lead to a new mechanism of manipulation of vascular regeneration factors, i.e. the treatment of heart disease. [medical citation needed] It is unlikely that as a visitor, you will be asked to become the cebador, the person who makes the partner and takes control of the filling, but it helps to understand the process. One possible explanation is that yerba mate contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are known to cause cancer. Tobacco smoke and grilled meat also contain PAHs. The safety and side effects of yerba mate require further study. In the middle of the 17th century.

In the nineteenth century, the Jesuits managed to domesticate the plant and plant plantations in their Indian reductions[18] in Misiones, Argentina, which triggered strong competition with Paraguayan harvesters of game populations. [ref. needed] Here began the intrusion of the plant into other non-Paraguayan areas. After their expulsion in the 1770s, their plantations fell into disrepair, as did their secrets of domestication. [ref. needed] Industry continued to be of paramount importance to the Paraguayan economy after independence, but development in favour of the Paraguayan State was halted after the War of the Triple Alliance (1864-1870), which devastated the country both economically and demographically. [ref. needed] Some areas with mate plantations in Paraguay have become Argentine territory. [ref. needed] Mate is often eaten as a healthy food.

Yerba mate packages are available in health food stores and are often stocked in major supermarkets in Europe, Australia and the United States. By 2013, Asians` interest in the beverage had increased significantly, resulting in significant exports to these countries. [39] This is one of the few TTB-approved yerba mate beverages. The wiseGeek says: Yerba mate or yerba-maté[2] (Ilex paraguariensis; from Spanish [ˈʝeɾβa ˈmate]; Portuguese: erva-mate, Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈɛɾvɐ ˈmatɨ] or [ˈɛhvɐ ˈmatʃi]; Guarani: ka`a, IPA: [kaʔa]) is a species of plant in the genus Ilex. It was named by the French botanist Augustin Saint-Hilaire. [4] The leaves of the plant can be soaked in hot water to make a drink known as mate. Brewed cold, it is used to make tere. Both the plant and the drink contain caffeine. Ilex paraguariensis starts as a shrub, then matures into a tree that grows up to 15 meters (49 feet) tall. The leaves are evergreen, 7 to 110 millimeters (0.3 to 4.3 inches) long and 30 to 55 millimeters (1.2 to 2.2 inches) wide, with serrated edges.

The leaves are often called yerba (Spanish) or erva (Portuguese), both meaning “grass”. They contain caffeine (known as matein in some parts of the world) and related xanthine alkaloids and are harvested commercially. Yerba mate is said to have various effects on human health, most of which are due to the large amount of polyphenols in the drink. [40] Research has shown that yerba mate can improve allergy symptoms[47] and reduce the risk of diabetes mellitus and hyperglycemia in mice. [48] Hi, we are a family business in Mendoza, Argentina. We rent cars and try to give our customers the best advice! What a great Mate experience is! We all drink here (no matter what time it is!) When someone comes to us to rent, you are usually surprised to see me drinking mate! It`s always a pleasure to share a partner with someone! But I would love to try to mate and hope to have an opportunity! Here, The Real Argentina brings you our guide to drinking mate. Do`s and don`ts, service order and a glossary. In the 1900s, Argentina domesticated mate again and plantations were established. While Brazil turned to coffee in the 1930s, Argentina relied on its mate consumption and revived the economy of the province of Misiones, where the Jesuits had their plantations. @CeciliaRatto qué precioso quedó este post!!! Amé todas read pictures.

Cuando nos tomamos unos mates juntas?!! Quién lleva el equipo de mate a San Jose? @Jesi @FaridTDF @kroza? The indigenous Guaraní communities and some Tupi communities (whose territory included present-day Paraguay) first cultivated and consumed yerba mate before the European colonization of the Americas. Its consumption was exclusive to the indigenous peoples of only two regions of present-day Paraguayan territory, namely the departments of Amambay and Alto Paraná. [5] [6] After the Jesuits discovered its commercialization potential, yerba mate spread throughout the province and even elsewhere in the Spanish crown. [6] @kroza @CaroGuiniazu @FaridTDF podríamos llevar mate en Noviembre para que @ErmesT y los que se animen puedan probarlo! In Paraguay, western Brazil (Mato Grosso do Sul, west of São Paulo and Paraná) and on the Argentine coast, an infusion of mate, called tereré in Spanish and Portuguese or tererê in Portuguese in southern Brazil, is also consumed as a cold or iced drink, usually sucked into a horn cup called guampa with a bombilla. The Guarani drank it in this format, but without the ice cream, because they did not have the technology for it, which is why it is recognized as the first and original mode of consumption. [6] Tereré can be prepared with cold water (the most common method in Paraguay and Brazil) or fruit juice (the most common method in Argentina). The version with water is more bitter; Fruit juice acts as a sweetener (in Brazil, this is usually avoided with the addition of table sugar). Medicinal or culinary herbs, known as yuyos (weeds), can be crushed with a pestle and mortar and added to water for taste or medicinal reasons. [32] In a large group, the partner goes around, but only one person is responsible.

The person who makes the partner is called a cebador. When the partner is ready, the cebador takes the first portion and fills the pumpkin. Then the cebador hands the pumpkin to the next person and waits while the person drinks and hands over the empty pumpkin. In a sufficiently large group, two pumpkins can circulate, but the process is the same: take, drink, flip. Consumption of hot mate tea is associated with oral cancer,[58] esophageal cancer,[59] laryngeal cancer,[59] and squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck. [60] [61] Studies show a correlation between tea temperature and the likelihood of cancer, so it is not clear what role the partner itself plays as a carcinogen. [59] However, studies also show that cancer cases overlap with alcohol consumption, tobacco, nutritional deficiencies, and poor oral hygiene – not just partner use. [59] Yerba mate contains a variety of polyphenols such as the flavonoids quercetin and rutin. [40] Coca tea, also known as mate de coca, is an herbal tea (infusion) made from the raw or dried leaves of the coca plant native to South America.
