All of us have this predetermined perception about sponges that they are perfectly fine during all times of their life, to clean our dishes with. These sponges require a lot of precision and considering that they are in direct contact with your dishes, it is necessary that you take the required precaution.
Since sponges are required for cleaning away the mess from dishes, they themselves can serve to be breeding grounds for a lot of mold and bacteria. This is not something you would like on your sponge, which is why cleaning them up is the best way forward. Just pop the sponge into a microwave for half an hour and you will see all the bacteria go away. Just pull it out after a couple of minutes to ensure that you don't catch it when it is hot.
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.
