Brie is one of those cheeses that only shows up at fancy parties. You don't see brie next to the sweaty cubes of yellow and orange cheese served at senior centers. That's when the cheese doesn't even really have a name. It's just labeled by its color. Does that make it blue cheese when it molds? Brie is one of the most fantastic cheeses, so you could practically put it on anything and you're going to be good.
Brie and jam doesn't seem that odd to me actually. I usually have brie with other appetizers like bread and jam, and we usually just mash all those things together into a ball anyway. Why not make a classy little sandwich? This is the type of sandwich that the weird kid in middle school would eat. Everyone would be thinking, "don't you realize you're 10?"
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.
