Every time that we've tried our hand at gardening, it's resulted in utter embarrassing failure. Nothing we try to grow actually manages to get past the budding stage, before we forget to water it, it's attacked by bugs and birds, or it simply commits suicide because it can't bear the thought of being in our yard. But you know what does grow? Weeds.
Hell, if there was a market in selling weeds (not that kind), then we'd be filthy rich. We can grow whole lawns full of weeds with any effort, and they come up in the strangest places. Having said that, we've never seen them growing out of the back seat of a car before. That one's new. Clearly someone else is a better weed gardener than us. The person who owns this car needs to buy some weed killer for crying out loud.
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.
