Fascinating Food II

So many of you enjoyed the previous one that I thought I would get more facts about food.

The First is from a super fun site called Today I Found Out and the next is some other food facts I think is weird and wonderful......

·        

·        Peanuts are salted in the shell by boiling them in a heavily salted solution, then allowing them to dry.

      Celery has negative calories.  It takes more calories to eat a piece of celery than the celery has in it to begin with. It's a pity that celery doesn't taste like chocolate

·         The canning process for herring was developed in Sardinia, which is why canned herrings are better known as sardines.

·         Honey is believed to be the only food that does not spoil.  Honey found in the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs has been tasted by archaeologists and found to still be edible. Why would anybody taste mummy honey????

·         Cheese closes the stomach and should always be served at the end of a meal.

·         A quarter of raw potato placed in each shoe at night will keep the leather soft and the shoes smelling fresh and clean. OKAY that's different!!! How long can you use the same potato or should you use a new one each day?
