Really, it's incredible how we still haven't nailed the art of baking. No matter how many cookbooks we read and TV shows we watch, we still manage to eff it up pretty much every time. The mystery here is not really how the spoon got to be at the bottom of a cake, but more how we can continue to fail at life when we get so much help.
On the other hand, maybe this spoon was deliberately put there at the bottom of the cake. You know, like how you get a tiny little spoon packaged in with your yoghurt that's just the perfect size for both eating the yoghurt and also throwing away and eventually choking a baby turtle. Sorry, we didn't mean to make you feel bad. But you should - you can't even get baking 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.
