Just as the name implies, a pickled egg is a hardboiled egg that's been left to go cold, after which it has been stuck in a jar of vinegar. Of all the foods listed in today's article, the pickled egg is one of the few that doesn't instantly gross out most people, which is always a bonus. The added vinegar might even make this easy to do dish interesting to some people.
The taste of the pickled egg has been described as sour, although pleasant enough to penetrate you right in the heart. The yolk is slightly powdery in texture, which is understandable, considering the acidic environment the egg has to stay in - sometimes even for days and week before it is eaten. This is a recipe that you should definitely try.
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.
