The post Potato Milk is Trending: Here’s What You Need to Know appeared first on falafelandcaviar.com.
]]>Origins and Rise to Popularity
Potato milk is not entirely a new concept. However, its commercial availability and popularity have only recently begun to peak. In 2022, the Swedish company Veg of Lund introduced a potato-based beverage called DUG. This new option joined the ranks of established plant-based milks offering consumers a unique and potentially more eco-friendly choice

One of the most compelling reasons behind potato milk’s surge in popularity is its sustainability. Potatoes require significantly less water and land to grow compared to almonds, soy, or oats, making potato milk a more eco-friendly option. Potatoes are also relatively easy to cultivate in most climates, meaning there’s a lot of growth potential.
Taste and Availability
The taste of potato milk is often described as surprisingly neutral and mild, with a slightly sweet undertone. As for availability, while potato milk is still gaining traction, it is increasingly being stocked in health food stores and supermarkets alongside other dairy-free alternatives.

]]>Ingredients:
- 1 cup sushi rice
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- ½ tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound salmon, cooked and flaked
- 1 cup kewpie mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- ¼ cup furikake
- ½ cup cucumber, sliced
- 1 avocado, cubed
- 3 packs dried seaweed
Instructions:
- Heat the oven to 425°F.
- Place the sushi rice in a colander, rinse throughly, and allow to drain for 15 minutes. Cook the rice according to the package instructions. While the rice is cooking, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan and warm over low heat until the sugar dissolves, then set aside.
- In a bowl, mix the salmon, mayonnaise, and sriracha.
- When the rice is done, transfer to a very large bowl. Sprinkle on the vinegar mixture and use a rice paddle or spatula to mix the vinegar into the rice while using a slicing motion. Fan the rice while mixing to dry it out slightly.
- Spread the sushi rice into an oven-safe baking dish and top with half of the furikake. Top with the salmon mixture and the remaining furikake.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the top begins to brown and bubble and the casserole is warmed through.
- Top with cucumbers and avocado, and drizzle with more mayonnaise and sriracha if desired. Serve warm with the seaweed.

]]>The post Why Roasted Veggies is Such a Popular Dish appeared first on falafelandcaviar.com.
]]>They’re Perfectly Neutral
There’s nothing particularly offensive about veggies. Consider something like steak, which is beloved by so many. As tasty as it is, there are people who would be repulsed if you served it to them, such as vegetarians or vegans. But when it comes to roasted veggies, no one would ever have a problem with it being on the table, even if they didn’t love it.
Everyone Knows It’s Healthy
Vegetables are one of those things that everyone knows is healthy. Even if you’re someone who doesn’t particularly love eating vegetables, you’ll still put a few on your plate in order to feel good about eating something healthy.
Roasted Gives it a Nice Kick
Finally, the real reason that roasted veggies, as opposed to fresh veggies, are so popular, is that they make veggies taste better. It’s common for someone to be opposed to eating fresh veggies at a table because of their blandness, but to happily scoop up some roasted veggies. The taste is simply better when they’re roasted! It’s the best of both worlds.

]]>Alternative Sweeteners
Sugar has become somewhat of a pariah during the last few years. Although natural, the ingredient has been linked to heart disease and Alzheimer’s, with many people attempting to cut it out of their diets. But, like milk, alternatives to sugar have cropped up. Expect to see more maple sugar and coconut sugar this year.
Seltzers
Believe it or not, carbonated water has been around for more than 250 years. While it was often added to alcoholic beverages to give them a little extra pzazz, seltzers have stepped up to become the alcoholic beverage themselves. White Claw is currently the most popular brand of hard seltzer, but keep an eye out for others over the next twelve months.
Chicken Sandwiches
It might be a somewhat random choice, but chicken sandwiches are expected to have a glow-up in 2023. Think fried sandwiches, sweet-heat fusion flavors, and lots of spice.

]]>Baked Oats
Oatmeal is a breakfast staple, and baked oats are a take on oatmeal. Instead of being mushy, they’re like a cake. Get creative with the flavors combinations like peanut butter and cocoa powder, lemon extract and poppyseeds, and strawberries and vanilla extract.

°º (@a.healthfulplate)Folded Wraps
We bet you haven’t had a wrap quite like these before. They start with slicing the tortilla or wrap halfway to the center and then folding it into fourths. All you have to do is add your favorite toppings to each of the four sides and fold it together.
Pesto Eggs
Instead of using vegetable or olive oil to cook eggs, use pesto to give your eggs much more flavor.
Dessert Boards
There always seems to be a new charcuterie board making it’s way onto social media, but dessert boards are the best and they combine pretty much every sweet thing imaginable. Think chocolate, cookies, candies, and cakes.
Twisted Bacon
Twisted bacon may not be groundbreaking, but it sure is delicious. This way of cooking bacon involves twisting bacon into a thin viral shape instead of just lying each strip flat onto a baking sheet. You can fit more onto the sheet and the bacon will be crispier.

]]>The post Should You Try The Frozen Honey TikTok Trend? appeared first on falafelandcaviar.com.
]]>You may have seen the videos on TikTok already; they show people freezing honey in plastic containers like water bottles. Once the honey is frozen, you can squeeze it out of the bottle and bite into the solid sweetness. What exactly is wrong with this?

The main problem is that you’ll end up eating excessive amounts of honey this way. Despite being a natural ingredient, honey is basically pure sugar. Things only get worse when you add fake color and flavors to it, like many people have been doing. Eating excessive amounts of honey over a longer time period can lead to weight gain and increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease.
We say it’s better to skip this particular trend and wait for a new one, because they come and go fast these days!
