1. In Brazil, one of the most popular types of pizza is peas. Yes, small green peas. Well, did you know that these peas are stimulating a strong punch? (Lots of p)
It is not only a great source of protein, but also contains vitamin K, manganese, thiamine, copper, vitamin C, phosphorus and folate. However, their real great strength is that they have a myriad of powerful antioxidants including high amounts of polyphenols called cholesterol - this may reduce the risk of stomach cancer. So do not just rotate those pea on your dish - dive in and enjoy its food power.
2: When you buy virgin olive oil, you may not get what you think exactly. Yes about 70% of the olive oil sold is not actually pure. This does not mean adding another oil, but the stickers lead you to believe that you are getting virgin or initial pressure and this is the best oil you get. Now, in fact, this pure oil has the taste of pepper, so manufacturers prefer to sell you a soft oil without pepper - so you should treat it more. Sometimes, the oil will include virgin olive oil from the lambante which is actually the lowest grade of virgin olive oil and is not really suitable for human consumption. In fact, it was originally used as a lamp oil but it seems to take the taste of pepper.
If you really want "good things" you need to do your homework - and for me, I do not use oil at all - it's still food.
3. Did you realize that the "real" orange juice that was bought 100% is 100% artificially flavored to taste like oranges? You see to make the orange juice in the house you just pressed the correct orange? Well, to make it commercially, you press the oranges, but you have to pull out oxygen and this is because you need to keep the liquid for up to a year without spoiling. But now there is no flavor, so they re-artificial flavor.
4. Get ready for this one if you are from the West. There is a park in Tokyo, Japan that offers ice cream with raw Horse Flesh flavor. I'm not going to you - there are pieces of horse in this ice cream. Other flavors offered are cow tongue, octopus and squid.
5. How is your love of cheese? Hopefully you are vegetarian and do not eat it - but if you do it. This will tickle the back of your throat. Casu Marzu is a cheese found in Sardinia and is intentionally infected with worms. Casu Marzu literally translates "rotten cheese" and is classified as the most dangerous cheese in the world.
It is made from sheep's milk, soaked in brine, smoked and left to ripen out in the open, not exposed, allowing the cheese flies to lay eggs inside. Hatching eggs in thousands of transparent white larvae, it feeds on cheese that produces enzymes that promote fermentation and cause fat that makes cheese degrade.
Local people will tell you that hot and creamy cheeses can only be eaten if the worms are still moving because once the worms run out, the cheese becomes bad - degraded to the point that it is highly toxic to human consumption. I have been declared illegitimate in fact and not according to EU health standards - ha - I wonder why ????
So there are 5 wonderful facts about food - the confidence you enjoyed.
