This is one of those embarrassing things that many adults don't know: measurement conversions. To my memory, we only spent fifteen minutes talking about conversions in class. That was back in the 2nd grade. They should have tested us every day on that. Nonetheless, it's not anyone's fault but yours for not knowing your conversions as an adult. You don't want to be the guy who checks the recipe and can't even make it because he doesn't know how many tbsps in a cl.
It's easy to rely on the internet for these things, but you can't retain knowledge by looking it up every once in a while. One day you won't have the internet with you. You better pray that it's not a life and death situation that relies on your knowledge of measurement conversions.
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.
