To tell you this today? How to surprise? About food, of course.
Here you go! The most unexpected facts about our food.
Egg Fact
You can say as much as you like that eggs from a supermarket are equally useful as country eggs from a chicken.
But one fact speaks for itself. Chickens will never hatch from store eggs. Because they are laid without the participation of a rooster, this is a manifestation of their natural cycle. Laying hens in poultry farms are always kept separate from males, if there is no task of breeding. Plus, special substances are added to their food for the regular production of eggs.
The taste of these eggs almost does not differ from freshly fertilized ones, but the question about the benefits is open.
Fact about cabbage
Believe it or not, there was once upon a time a Roman emperor who took and... retired. Actually!
It is argued, by the way, that not only olives and overseas fruits grew in the garden of that retired emperor Diocletian, but also there was simple cabbage and beets.
Cabbage in heads of cabbage, however, was unknown to the Romans at that time, so it looked more like leafy greens. Something like our Beijing one.
But borscht could have been invented back in the third century. After all, the Caesar-summer resident had all the ingredients for this.
Sausage fact
Sodium nitrite is a preservative and this is its main role. It saves from poisoning with the most dangerous botulinum toxin. In large quantities, the substance is dangerous, but you should not be afraid of this, since it almost does not remain in the product after processing.
There is less sodium nitrite in sausage than in spinach, celery or tomatoes plucked from their own garden.
Fact about sausage casings
It is believed that the best sausage is packed in the guts. But in the modern world, they are rarely used for this purpose, the industry has long switched to artificial casings. And in vain!
The intestines are not only edible, but also tasty. These intestines are sold annually in the world worth almost three billion dollars.
The total majority, of course, is used as a casing for sausages and sausages. The rest goes to local dishes like kokorech. These are grilled lamb casings, actually a terrific Turkish delicacy.
Fact about glutamate
How many facts about him have already been! More myths and legends. However, the supplement E621, glutamate, is not dangerous.
Why is that? And because all vegetables, cereals and meat naturally already contain a noticeable amount of this substance, indistinguishable from that obtained in industry. From tomatoes to soy sauce. That is, all our products are already in it.
If you are really afraid of glutamate, then you need to be consistent and therefore exclude almost all food from your diet. So that's it!
