Grape jelly and scrambled eggs... that sounds familiar. Wasn't that the theme song to Frasier? "Hey, baby I hear the blues-a-calling. Grape jelly and scrambled eggs." OK, so maybe it was "tossed salad and scrambled eggs," but I was always a little uncomfortable by the term "tossed salad" after I got out of prison. Turns out all those guys didn't want me to serve them a plate of leafy greens.
Both grape jelly and scrambled eggs are breakfast foods, so I can see the two working when you run out of hot sauce or ketchup. Let's be clear though. Your scrambled eggs need to be bomb for this to be good. I'm tired of people serving me their dry scrambled eggs. I don't care if it's your grandma's special recipe. The only thing special about it is that it harnesses the power of the desert.
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.
