This is a child pragmatist's dream. Here's how something like this gets created. One day a kid was playing outside, not wanting to stop, but his mom called him to come inside. "You can't play again until you finish your whole lunch." The best way to get back to playing the fastest was to jam his chips into his sandwich and chomp away. He never realized he would change the world forever.
I think we've all experimented with chips in our sandwiches the same way we've all experienced with things in college... right? Dad, don't read this. But really, chips in the sandwich is a time-honored tradition. This gets a little wild with the nacho cheese Doritos. That's a pungent taste to mix with your PBJ. Anything to get back in the yard and play though, am I right?
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.
