I've been known to put just about anything on my pizza. Sweet, sour, savory, drugs. I'll try everything at least once. Most of the time the combinations are a horrible idea. Even something as simple as anchovies actually sucks, despite being well known. I don't care how soft the bones are. I don't want to eat bones. With that being said, I've definitely done sweet pizzas before. I even have a great recipe for a dessert pizza. The thing is, that pizza uses cream cheese, not real cheese.
The textures of chocolate and melted cheese seem way too similar yet different to be pleasant together. Believe me, I've taken alternate bites of a cheese pizza and lava cake, but there's some chew time in between those bites. It's different when you get a mouth-load of chocolate and gooey cheese.
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.
