The world of food is a vast one and sometimes we get lost in all the information we get. Who knew that there might be a day when we come across food facts that will blow our mind.
Here are some of my favourites!
- A single strawberry has over 200 seeds! Wow!
- Tomatoes are actually a fruit, not vegetable. For those of you who didn’t know, surprise!
- If you consume half a cup of figs, it is equivalent to half a cup of milk. Talk about nutrition in different ways.
- The most stolen food in the world is “cheese”.
- Peanuts can be used to make dynamites. What even??!!
- The Mayan civilisation used chocolate as currency. If that was the case, i’d be rich.
- Pure honey can last upto 3000 years.
- Due to the high acidic content in lemons, they have the ability to kill off bacteria. It is recommended to include lemons in your daily diet.
- Want to look young and rejuvenate your skin? Try oranges. They have antioxidants that help revitalise the skin and protect it from free radicals.
- If you want to speed up the ripening process of an avocado, place it in a brown bag and store it in a cool and dry place. Thank me while you’re enjoying your avocado toast.
- A banana is not a fruit! It is a herb! I did not see that coming.
- Mangoes are called “King of fruits” because they are the most loved and number 1 fruit, worldwide.
All this conversation about food has made me feel a little peckish. I’m off to grab a snack, stay safe.
Until next time.
