It all really comes down to what is commercially viable. If you have a turkey and that turkey lays eggs, you’re going to get much more money by hatching those eggs and rearing the young to maturity or to a certain age than by selling the eggs.
Farmers buy young turkeys (or poults) at... Читать далее

Why does instant coffee get so sticky when it's wet, but real coffee doesn't?
Nutrition BSc, King's College London. @masha_budr · 23 декабря 2016
This is because the two named coffee products are completely different in their qualities.
'Real' coffee is prepared relatively easy: coffee beans are roasted, sorted and ground. All the chemical constituents are safely stored in coffee cells and not released until brewed.

Do mustards, horseradish sauce, mint sauce and other condiments need to be refrigerated?
Nutrition BSc, King's College London. @masha_budr · 18 декабря 2016
The short answer would be to store them all in the refrigerator once opened. The named condiments can all last for months (always check the label and try not to exceed a use-by date!) if stored properly.
Back in the day the recipe for ketchup, mustard and others was different and most... Читать далее

The Last Supper remains one of the most culturally recognised meals. We are so familiar with the image of Jesus and his disciples sitting around a table, but if you had to put some food on that table, would you know what to serve? All four gospels, Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John... Читать далее
