14. Wasp Crackers - Japan

14. Wasp Crackers - Japan

This is a cracker that every cracker fan should try out at least once in their life. You can get an idea what type of food this is, solely by the name - after all, it is called "wasp crackers." It is consumed like any other cracker with a cup of warm milk (or maybe with a smoothie) and it makes for the perfect breakfast. It is a good alternative if you're tired from the good old chocolate chip cracker.

It is supposed to be very popular in Japan and if you can get over the fact that there are wasps in it, it shouldn't taste much different from a regular cracker. And as in other foods with an insect in them, it probably has some health benefits, things like curing cancer and such, and it has a lot of protein.

Did You Know...

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.
