Chalk up a record-breaking fourth entry for the Oliver family. Let's take a moment to stand back and applaud their commitment to coming up with crazy, ridiculous names for their children! At least none of Jamie and Juliette's children would have felt bullied or marginalized by their name when they were growing up; having a terrible name was something they all had in common.
As we've mentioned before, Poppy Honey Rosie Oliver's father is a chef. We wonder if he was looking in his kitchen for inspiration when it came to finding a name for his now-sixteen-year-old daughter? Poppies, honey, and roses are all things you can cook with if you know what you're doing, and he definitely does. We think that this is the least out-there name of all the Oliver children, but it would still stand out a mile on the average school roll-call.
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.
