They may seem like tasty, unassuming vegetables, but beware of beets despite their temptations. They will turn your bodily fluids red, which can be extremely disturbing. I don't need to explain why. There's only two colors I want to see in that bowl after I go. I won't talk about them, but I think we all have an unspoken agreement on what they are. It's too bad too, because beets are delicious. They are one of nature's little candies.
They've got a hint of sweetness to them, which makes the chocolate a welcome pairing. Is there anything more romantic than a plate of beets and chocolate on white sheets? You and your lover can spend a night eating them and making love. The next day you do full laundry from all the beet juice getting everywhere, and you go to the emergency room because you think you have internal bleeding.
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.
