There are two types of people in the world. Note: both are having a bad day. The first type is the type who drops the spoon in the beans, which sucks, and then uses a utensil to grab the spoon. The second type is the type who drops the spoon in the beans, which sucks, and then grabs the spoon with their hand, burning themselves, which sucks even more. There's a lesson there. Once things are going bad, they don't get better. They can only get worse. No one has ever dropped their spoon in the beans and then found a million dollars. It just doesn't happen.
Honestly, that spoon wasn't formidable enough to take on that pot. They were asking for this to happen. I get it though. I came from a family who would use one fork to cook everything.
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.
