Sweet and salty are the perfect pair. I'm sure we'll see a lot of items on this list that are based on that classic combination. Some are a little wild, while others just make sense. Nutella and salted chips just makes sense to me. First off, Nutella is very dippable. Unlike something like peanut butter or a chocolate sauce. Easy dipping means no chip-breaks. Chip-breaks in the dip must be avoided at all costs!
Talk about a dangerous combo though. I could eat five bags of chips in a row on their own, and I could eat a couple of jars of Nutella on their own. The math starts to get pretty scary when you add those two together. If you let me, I'd eat several jars of Nutella and bags of chips in one sitting.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
