]]>Honey Never Spoils
Ancient sweetener, modern marvel—honey is a food item that, when stored properly, can last indefinitely. Archaeologists have discovered pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3,000 years old and still perfectly edible!
Chocolate Was Used as Money
Imagine paying for your groceries with a handful of chocolate bars. In the ancient Aztec civilization, this wasn’t far from reality. Cacao beans, from which chocolate is made, were so highly valued by the Aztecs that they used them as currency.
Peanuts are Not Nuts
Despite their name, peanuts belong to the legume family and are closer relatives to beans and lentils than to actual nuts like almonds or walnuts. Surprise!
Apples are Part of the Rose Family
If you’ve ever admired the beauty of a rose, you might be surprised to learn that apples are a part of the same family. The Rosaceae family includes over 2,500 species of herbs, shrubs, and trees, among which apples hold a sweet spot.

]]>Understanding It
Albumin is a type of protein. It’s not fat like many people mistakenly assume that exists in the dish in liquid form when it’s raw. It pushes to the surface of the salmon when you heat it. Once this protein reaches a temperature between 140 and 150 degrees, the coagulated albumin gets squeezed out and appears in the form of the strange white substance that you are probably familiar with.
The amount of albumin in a salmon fillet doesn’t seem to be, and sometimes you’ll end up with a piece that’s covered in it and sometimes hardly any if it will appear. This actually has nothing to do with the type of salmon you’re cooking, but rather with how you’re cooking it. The more aggressively you cook it, the more albumin will appear on its surface. The higher the heat, the more quickly the flesh contracts, and the more albumin will become visible.

]]>When you think about it, it’s clear that you can eat virtually any food in the world and fill up for breakfast, and yet we tend to repeat several breakfast options again and again, not even thinking about introducing something else. This, of course, depends on where you live and is different in different cultures.
Western breakfast staples like eggs and sausage date back to Ancient Rome, though people’s habits were very different back then. Over time, we developed the need for a nutritious and fast breakfast because our lives kept getting busier and busier.
Cereal became a breakfast staple thanks to the food industry that promoted them as healthy for a long time. If you’re following food and health trends, then you know that cereal and some other well-known breakfast items (like orange juice) are decreasing in popularity and being replaced with different things, like porridge and plant-based milk.

]]>The tree is jokingly called the Genghis Khan of macadamia nuts as it spread its DNA across the world. The researchers collected DNA samples from hundreds of trees in Queensland and compared them to the DNA of commercially grown trees in Hawaii, the world’s biggest macadamia nut producer that fulfills 70% of the world’s needs for these nuts. As it turns out, all the Hawaii’s macadamias share the same distinctive markers with a small group of trees in Gympie, which tells us that 70 percent of all the macadamia varieties found in the world can be linked to a single tree in Australia.
As one of the researchers, Craig Hardner, told ABC News, “a small collection of seeds were taken to Hawaiʻi at the end of the 19th century and historical records suggest that there was maybe six trees grown from that sample of nuts that were taken by Robert Jordan and planted in his brothers’ backyard in the suburbs of Honolulu in 1896.”

]]>The post Little Known Facts About Mustard appeared first on falafelandcaviar.com.
]]>Mustard is a Plant
The well-known condiment is technically called prepared mustard. The plant mustard is a member of the Brassica genera and is a relative to many common vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower.
It’s the Oldest Condiment
Many experts believe that mustard was the first condiment people ever used. Grinding the seeds into a paste and mixing them with vinegar or wine dates back to the Roman Empire.
Biggest Producers
Most of the world’s mustard comes from only two countries – Canada and Nepal. Together, the crops from these two countries end up in more than half of all the mustard produced in the world.
It Almost Can’t Spoil
Mustard is basically just a bland of acidic liquid and spices, and as such can’t really spoil. It’s best to keep it in the fridge but that’s not even necessary. Over time, it may lose flavor but will generally remain safe to eat.

]]>You probably don’t see a “sell by” or “use by” date on the little packets; it’s usually listed on the box they come in. However, you should know that their shelf life is around 9 months, according to Kraft Heinz spokesperson Lynne Galia. You can technically eat it even after that time because it’s not likely to spoil, but the taste may change.
But if you store all your ketchup packets together, you practically have no way of knowing which ones are the oldest. If unsure, use your senses to help you understand if your ketchup is still good for eating. Red flags include any changes in texture, smell, color, and consistency. Even if you’ve had it for just a few weeks and it looks odd, don’t risk it – it probably spent a lot of time in a box before it got to you.

]]>Flavored Water / Vitamin Water
Flavored or vitamin water may seem like a good alternative to sodas and other sugary drinks, but don’t think that it’s always calorie and sugar-free. One bottle can have up to 31 grams of sugar, the same amount as an average chocolate bar!
Cereal With Milk
Your favorite store-bought cereal is probably delicious because of the high sugar content. It’s best to make your own mix using grains and nuts you buy separately.

Low-Fat Yogurt
Food companies will make low-fat products that actually contain more sugar than full-fat versions – that richness and flavor has to come from somewhere, right?

KETO CARNIVOREIt Makes Everything Taste Better
Bacon is basically made of fat and salt, and these two ingredients have the magical ability to enhance any food. That’s why bacon or even bacon flavoring is added to so many foods we can’t keep track.
It’s Over 4,000 Years Old
But what we call “bacon” has changed over time. As far as 4,000 years ago, the Chinese used pork curing techniques in order to preserve meat and all pork was referred to as “bacon.”
Switzerland | AargauIt’s Not That Unhealhty
While it would be a stretch to say that bacon is healthy, it’s certainly better than many other choices you may make on a daily basis. You’ll be just fine if you eat two average strips of fried bacon with an egg once per week for breakfast.

]]>
- There are around 20 people in the U.S. whose first or last name is Donut or Doughnut.
- There are spudnuts, which are doughnuts made of potatoes instead of flour.
- The U.S. city with the most doughnut shops per capita is Boston.
- In 1933, doughnuts were declared “hit food of the century of progress.”
that says: You can’t do it. You’ll never be good enough. You’re going to fail. 
This voice taunts you whenever you set a goal. It criticizes you when life gets difficult. Self-doubt is greedy. When it’s loose, it devours your confidence and steals happiness from your heart. In return, it leaves you with only fear and insecurity. This happened to me over the past weeks. What I learned is that If I wanted to believe in myself, I needed to face my self-doubt. 
Now I no longer tell myself, “I’ll never be a good enough artist.” Instead, I ask myself, “What can I do to become better?” And I take baby steps. 
Sure, something may go wrong. But if you never try, you’re losing an opportunity to improve your life. 
Are you willing to risk that instead?- The U.S. celebrates National Doughnut Day the first Friday in June, National Jelly-Filled Doughnut Day on June 8th, and National Creme-Filled Doughnut Day on September 14th.
- Consuming 29 doughnuts in around 6 minutes, John Haight became the Guinness World Record holder for doughnut eating.
