Tips for buying and preparing meat

First, freeze the meat easier to cut into thin slices, for example, oriental dishes, if you first freeze briefly. Leave a piece of meat in the freezer for about 30 minutes, then remove and slice.

 

Do it yourself and even "extra lean" ground beef contains about 10 percent fat. Zadravije to buy chunks of lean meat such as steak and grind them at home or in a food processor ručnome meat grinder. So you know exactly what you get.

Avoid purchasing meat preparations for softening Such preparations usually contain MSG or salt, they extract a part of the natural juices that are found in meat. Instead, use fresh papaya. Papaya contains an enzyme called the pope, and he helps in the breakdown of proteins. Ispasirajte little fresh papaya and rub meat with it. Before cooking or baking, scratch ispasiranu papaya and meat dry with paper towel.

Leave the meat allowed to age for some to leave the meat is allowed to age for a while, it will improve its taste, but supermarkets are reluctant to do. According to Britain's finest chefs Heston Blumenthal, are entirely commercial reasons. Simple terms, if you leave the meat to stand for a while, your stock will take longer to come to the shop and begin to make profits, too, the meat loses water while standing and while it improves the taste of meat, leaving retailers less weight you can sell. Blumenthal says that every bit harder piece of meat does not lack quality, but it has not aged for long enough. No solution here - let alone meat that is allowed to age. In most cases, purchased fresh beef ribs or even a piece of quality meat for steaks from the supermarket, you will taste better if allowed to age for awhile. To be able to do, Blumenthal proposes to take a hard and stable container and poke it in about five holes with a diameter of about 0.5 cm on each side, except at the bottom because the blood from the meat could drip on the refrigerator. Put the meat into the prepared pan, cover and let stand in refrigerator for up to a week - but not enough meat to go "shelf life". As dawn meat, it becomes darker and shrink, creating a crust on the outside. Do not worry, the meat did not affect texture and taste of meat vastly improved.

Banana plantations may soon disappear

Can you imagine life without bananas?

Unfortunately, we could soon run out of this tasty and incredibly healthy fruit.

Banana plantations in the near future could disappear from the face of the planet due to monoculture - the way of agriculture, which is used for the industrial cultivation of bananas.

Monoculture threatens the health of plants

Monoculture (mono from the ancient Greek - and I lat. Cultura - Agriculture) is a form of agriculture, including cultivation of one plant species on the same land for several years in a row.

Monoculture has many biological disadvantages:

- Encourages the spread of parasites and pathogens that can lead to poor harvest

- Impoverishes the soil, plants do not receive the necessary nutrients

- Increasing the need for increased use of pesticides

- Pesticides kill beneficial microbes that protect plants from disease

As a result, plants in monoculture become weak and susceptible to disease. They begin to spread dangerous microorganisms and plants against them can not fight.

This is exactly what is happening now in many banana plantations in the world.

Killer fungus destroying banana plantations

Bananas could disappear from supermarket due to a deadly disease that is caused by monoculture. This disease has already ravaged banana plantations in Southeast Asia.

The disease causing fungus Race IV, which they call banana plague. The fungus is spread in monocultures, such as those which are grown Cavendish bananas - the best selling and most cultivated species of banana in the world.

Although there are thousands of other species of banana, many of which have a better aroma and flavor, banana growers have chosen precisely the type of Cavendish, due to its long shelf life and looks nicer.

However, it seems that the lack of genetic diversity in the banana industry, caused her disappearance.

Scientists have long warned that the fungus Race IV soon spread to other parts of the world. When this happens, bananas are no longer able to grow - they will simply ugibati due to illness.

Not only that - the soil on the plantation, even the earth around them, will be unusable for growing plants in the next few decades.

"Probably the fungus already exists on our planet, but now has spread through monokultirnim plantations." - Heather Smith writes in a recent interview. "It seems that in the 21 century monoculture plantations disappear completely. "

This has already happened once

Before the 1960s, the world's species are cultivated banana Gros Michel, which was delicious and much better than the Cavendish. Unfortunately, this type is completely missing due to a disease that has spread to banana plantation monokulturnoj.

Gros Michel was replaced by the Cavendish. But if and Cavendish gone, no more industrial type of banana that could be replaced.

In many parts of the world people are successfully grown various types of bananas on small farms or in your own garden. Since these bananas not grown in monoculture, the disease does not attack them.

When we finally realize that industrial farming methods bring more harm than good?

How to buy eggs?

Buy eggs enriched with omega-3. Some are expensive, but they are much better for you. Study after study have shown that omega-3 fatty acids help everything - from mental health (improving memory and reducing the risk of depression) to the heart. The recommended daily intake of omega-3 fatty acids for good general health is about 450 mg. Research has shown that many people do not get food even half that amount. If you eat a week or less than one serving of oily fish or cold water fish such as salmon or mackerel, it is difficult to get adequate supply of omega-3 fatty acids. Why would you use eggs enriched essential nutrient that greatly assist in achieving this ideal goal.

 

Do not worry because cholesterol is true that eggs are high in cholesterol. But the real culprit in raising blood cholesterol levels, and also the increased risk of heart attack or stroke, in fact, the amount of saturated fat in foods - not the amount of cholesterol. Medium-size egg may contain ten times more cholesterol than 25 g semi-hard cheese, but more likely it will affect the cheese increased cholesterol in the blood because it contains almost seven times more saturated fat than eggs. Eggs are by no means bad for our health, moreover, contain much good. It is one of the few food sources of vitamin D, and also provide good amounts of vitamins A, E, B2 and B12. Also rich in choline, which research has shown that it can play a key role in the brain. Several experiments on animals show that choline stimulates memory and learning skills. A paper published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Uournal of the American Medical Association), which compared the eating habits of more than 100 000 men and women in the U.S. for 14 years, found that those who ate one egg a day is not any increased risk of heart disease or stroke. The official advice of the British Association for Nutrition (British Dietetic Association) and the American Heart Association (American Heart Association) is that eating an egg a day is unlikely to have any effect on blood cholesterol levels, provided that the amount of saturated fat in your diet remains low.

Ignore the aggressive advertising of white shell eggs are as good as that brown shell. Shell color is determined by the type of chicken. Color has nothing to do with the nutritional value of eggs.

Test the freshness To verify that the egg is still good to eat, put it in a jar or a bowl of cold salted water; if sink, fresh and enjoy it, if you stay afloat, throw it away.

Make it easier stripping Pierce the egg before you cook in the shell, and later will make it easier to peel. To do this, take a pin and thrust is approximately 1 cm at the wide end of the egg. This will let enough air to separate the whites from the shell membrane that adheres. This is especially good advice when you hard-boiled eggs must remain whole, so you can neatly cut for decoration or for a salad, or if you want to fill and serve as an appetizer or party.

Freeze the egg whites separately how many times a prescription for use only egg yolks, egg whites and put all together in a bowl and leave in refrigerator for later? And when they need it again, you could remember how much you have meringue or how long they stood in the refrigerator. Here's a better way to keep whites. Take a clean container for each section of the ice and pour in the egg and so one of them freeze. Frozen cubes move the plastic bag, close it, clearly mark the date and return to freezer. So you clearly know how much you have saved the meringue and how old they are. If necessary, remove the egg whites and leave overnight to let dissolve. For a lighter omelet, whole eggs, add some meringue. From frozen meringue can still prepare a good cake, though you can get as large and airy as the quantity of snow from fresh meringue.

Keep them in a carton. Keeping eggs in the carton in which you bought them and will help not to lose moisture and prevent odors from other foods in the refrigerator. Eggs always stack wide end facing up - so stay fresh longer.

Season with salt egg broken egg has been dropped on the floor and it is difficult with a damp cloth to pick up the slippery mess - you seem like you are more spills. Stop by and collect it well with salt. Let them stand for about 5 minutes and after that you should make it easy to pick up a damp paper towel.
