No one exactly knows what is happening with this photograph. Is that a wound, dressed in some bandages and covered with peanut butter, or something even worse? The green part is also extremely disturbing. The other possible option is that this is some sort of cake that has fallen apart, in which case, you shouldn't feel as grossed out by what you've seen.
We don't know if this is actually cake (or parts of a cake), as there should be other layers to it - like for example, some whipped cream on top. On the other part of the spectrum, there is the possibility that we're looking at real, actual feces, in which case hopefully we can forget about seeing this photo as soon as possible, although photos like this have a nasty habit of coming back to "haunt" you at night.
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.
