did you know that the food you eat becomes energy yeah boom that's spaghetti most of us have heard
the expression you are what you eat but how much do we really know about our food here are 10 of
the most amazing food facts everyone needs to know you know the mumbai mcdonald's you can't get a big
mac all you can get is the chicken maharaja mac fruit stickers are edible i'll eat it this is
lucky character don't eat it have you ever taken a bite of an apple only to realize after the fact
that you never took the sticker off or maybe you just couldn't seem to get the whole thing off well
you don't have to worry anymore because fruit stickers are actually edible now before you go
eating these stickers edible does not mean that you should eat them so yes you should
definitely continue to remove them before taking a big old bite of that apple peach or pear but what
this also means is it's not too big a deal if you miss one every once in a while the stickers
themselves are plastic and won't break down in your stomach like normal food let alone provide
any nutritional value at all but they also won't kill you just like accidentally swallowing a piece
of chewing gum there is no need to panic but just make sure not to do it all the time think about it
the adhesive from the stickers are generally what most people worry about but let us calm your fears
this sticker adhesive is made specifically for fruits and vegetables and is safe to ingest so
if there's still that little piece of glue that you just can't seem to scrape off it's really not
that important if there's some remnants yeah no biggie the aztecs used chocolate as currency money
money money it's hard to imagine a world where money doesn't rule everything but there was in
fact a life before money this is where chocolate comes in yes chocolate with its deliciously rich
and sweet flavor chocolate is loved and even worshipped by many around the globe willy wonka
showed us just how influential chocolate can be and how far a chocolate obsession can truly go
although augustus gloops dive into the chocolate river at wonka's chocolate factory might have been
seen as a step too far into one's love for the beloved sweet the aztecs took their love to a
whole other level believing that the cacao bean was a gift from the gods the aztecs treated the
bean as more than just a tasty snack or a caffeine boost to them cacao was more valuable than gold
for real wow just like money today it was used more so as a currency and eaten very sparingly
more common amongst the upper class chocolate was viewed as an extravagance outside of the upper
echelons of society however chocolate was normally saved for special celebrations such as weddings
uh what's the occasion you can hear rhubarb grow never rub another man's rhubarb not many people
spend a lot of time thinking about rhubarb but i guarantee you won't be able to get the plan
out of your head after finding out that rhubarb makes noise as it grows that's right the stalks
make a popping and cracking noise as they grow then get your reps in and make your brain pop pop
pop it all comes down to a growing process called forcing that has been adopted by many rhubarb
farmers in order to make their rhubarb grow faster for the first two years of a rhubarb's life they
grow outside in a field all year round but in the second winter they are brought inside to a
heated shed where they can peacefully continue their gross in the dark kind of like a vampire
since these sheds are heated it means that the plants no longer have to use any energy
to grow leaves to keep themselves warm instead all of their energy goes towards growing the stalks
and this happens so quickly that you can hear the rhubarb literally crack as they get longer it's
almost an unnaturally fast growth as the plants are tricked into thinking it's springtime the
process sounds like a constant low cracking and popping and is actually said to be quite peaceful
so peaceful hey wake up we got one more fruit salad trees exist whoa whoa whoa don't tell
me you're thinking about eating the forbidden fruit that's exactly what i'm thinking forget
scouring the supermarket for the best fruits for your summer fruit salad and imagine having
everything you need right in front of you from your very own tree well that dream is now a
reality with the incredible fruit salad tree originating in sunny australia the fruit salad
tree debuted in the early 1990s it was created by a father of four james west who lived out on an
isolated farm and needed to supply fruit for his growing family james successfully grafted a tree
that produced a variety of 30 different fruits and after more research the family's fruit salad tree
business was born it may be hard to imagine one tree growing different fruits with their specific
and individual flavors but that's exactly what these trees can do easy peasy the ideal fruit
salad tree grows up to eight unique fruits as long as they're of the same family although the balmy
australian climate is ideal for growing these incredible trees more and more of them are slowly
being shipped overseas you can order one online today and have it shipped right to your doorstep
making a fruit salad has never been this easy show your support by hitting that like button we
do appreciate it now let's keep going let's roll lemons float but limes sink what are you selling
appearances can be deceiving while many people don't know that much about the differences between
lemons and limes other than their colors these two fruits have more contrasting properties than
one would think they might be used as substitutes for one another at times however lemons and limes
are fundamentally different the easiest way to see this difference is to put them in water and watch
as the lemons float to the top while the limes sink towards the bottom say what you might have
noticed this before if you're someone who likes to add fruit to your drinks one has to question
why does this even happen it doesn't come down to the size of the slices you've cut but the actual
density of the fruits whether or not something floats depends on the density of the item compared
to the density of the liquid how physics the density of both lemons and limes are very
close to that of water but there's still a slight difference between the two that changes everything
limes are just that much denser than lemons and so they sink in water while lemons float it's a
strange phenomenon to see but scientifically quite straightforward don't believe us try it yourself
and see firsthand just how different lemons and limes really are or like everything else google it
smart and it's more ketchup can be produced without tomatoes ketchup just like my mom puts on
a spaghetti baby whether you place it on your hot dog burger or on the side for dipping your fries
ketchup is arguably one of the most popular condiments in existence but it might surprise
you to know that its most well-known ingredient the tomato is actually not a necessary component
for the classic condiments creation now before you grow too concerned just know that most ketchup is
indeed made from some sort of tomato base however not all ketchup is that might seem blasphemous to
some especially to those who thought heinz's colorful 1990s easy squirt ketchup products
crossed the line but there are actually many uses for non-tomato based ketchup there are
some versions of non-tomato imitation ketchup that use ingredients like carrots and cherries
in an effort to make a similar tasting ketchup that's available to people with tomato allergies
more adventurous versions of non-tomato ketchup however are growing in popularity as more and
more people are seeming to turn away from classic ketchup to try out less traditional sauces for
example there are the more adventurous ketchup such as banana or curry ketchup
what's that curry taste curry as people seem to be expanding their sauce-based horizons especially
with the recent spike in hot sauce popularity it seems that we can make some room for different
types of ketchup as well no ketchup no ketchup hawaiian pizza did not even come from hawaii
10 margarita and no pineapple anywhere to put pineapple on your pizza or not to put pineapple
on your pizza that is the question perhaps the most controversial pizza discussion to date
this conversation has the power to ruin even the strongest of friendships but before you
blame hawaii for this never-ending debate the classic pineapple and ham pizza originated in
a completely different location surprisingly it's actually a canadian-born creation put together in
the early 1960s by a man named sam pannapolis in the province of ontario panapolis thought process
was to combine two of his favorite dishes sweet and sour chicken which also contained pineapple
and pizza naming it after hawaii was most likely attached to the fact that the pineapple industry
was booming on the island i see what you did there however it was also a testament to the
growing craze that surrounded the newly adopted american state many across north america developed
an obsession with the hawaiian tiki culture that swept across the continent everyone wanted to join
in on the romanticized island culture including panopoulos with his creation of the hawaiian pizza
so whether you're a fan of pineapple on pizza or not it's probably best not to bring up
the subject if you're visiting hawaii in fact you probably shouldn't bring this up in italy
either considering many italians think of chicken on pizza as practically criminal who knows how
they'd feel about pineapple baba the poopy que calza peter what are you doing speaking italian
bananas are technically berries i'm very high in potassium like a banana ready to have your
mind blown bananas are technically berries that's right although you'll probably never hear someone
actually refer to them as a berry they are actually scientifically classified as berries
the confusion originates from the fact that the term berry started to be used to describe certain
fruits thousands of years before its meaning as a botanical classification was decided upon
from a botanical perspective a berry is a type of fruit that comes from a flower with only one
ovary confused us too plainly put a banana ticks off all the boxes of what technically makes a
berry including the fact that it comes from a specific type of flour so therefore a banana is
a berry to make it even more confusing fruits like strawberries blackberries and raspberries
don't come from these types of flowers which means they don't scientifically fall under the
berry category i can't i can't believe don't worry though blueberries are still definitely berries
at least that's one factoid that we can hold on to and just to maintain peace of mind we're
not even going to get into the other fruits that are actually considered berries as well
red food dye is made from bugs that's unlike any other insect it might be hard to accept for some
but eating insects is actually part of the daily diet for countless cultures around the world
bugs can provide many important elements of a well-balanced diet such as calcium protein
iron and zinc still not convinced well what if you were already eating them without knowing it
no god that's right insects can be found in many candies and other foods that you would never even
sink to keep an eye out for the most well-known place bugs can be found in your food is in red
food coloring it's called cochineal and it's essentially made of dried and ground up bug
bodies of certain cactus-eating female insects sorry if that's ruined candy for you but with
more and more people realizing the origin of cochineal many companies have stopped using
the ingredient all together although if you are going to start checking the ingredient list on
the back of your favorite candies keep in mind that cochineal can go by many different names
such as carmine carmenic acid and many more so don't bug out keep an eye out action
fortune cookies don't originate from china hey it's my lucky day a penny your luck just ran out
anyone who has had chinese food delivered to their home or dined at a chinese restaurant knows that
the meal would feel incomplete without a fortune cookie at the end there's nothing like breaking
open that cookie to find a seemingly all-knowing fortune meant just for you so it's surprising
to learn that fortune cookies did not even originate in china they can actually be loosely
traced back to some shops near kyoto in japan what these originally labeled fortune crackers
sported a similar folded design to the fortune cookie except they were actually much bigger and
darker than the classic cookies we now know made with miso and sesame these original crackers were
also known to have a fortune tucked inside so how did they transform into the seemingly all-knowing
desserts associated with chinese food it all happened in the golden city of san francisco
specifically the japanese tea garden of san francisco's golden gate park the cookie is said
to have made its way from japan to america through the now well-known tea garden this is where the
cookies were transformed into the buttery vanilla flavored treats we know so well today from there
the now more arguably american than japanese treat slowly became adopted by more and more
chinese restaurants until finally becoming even more associated with china than japan because
it's like china but it's it's not china get a taste of more great videos just tap or click hit
