If you havent got the chance to answer my this weeks TQ please click here

more FFF(fun food facts) and TQ's(trivia question)

Here some more interesting FFF i came across.

Pumpkins are fruits, not vegetables

The average pumpkin weighs between 10 and 30 pounds. The winner of the 2003 biggest pumpkin contest weighed 1,140 pounds.

It takes between four and five pounds of grapes to make one pound of raisins

Most raisins are made from the Thompson Seedless variety of grapes. Because you can keep them indefinitely without having them spoil, raisins are a good choice for long trips.

Did you know that bananas are considered to be the greatest body builders among the fruit foods?

They have tissue building ability. Serve daily and you will have better health and save money! Do not keep bananas in the refrigerator.

Honey heals wounds?

Use Honey to help heal a small wound.Apply the honey to the bandage, notdirectly on the wound. Honey will help prevent scarring.

The answer to last week's TQ:
I was first discovered thousands of years ago, growing in the Andes mountains in South America. However, my early ancestors were small and rather bitter tasting. I was introduced to India in the early 17th century, reaching China a short time thereafter. Upon my arrival in Europe I was called a variety of names, some of which had to do with my resemblance to a truffle. Today, I am the main ingredient in an extremely popular snack food that no fast food restaurant would be caught without. What am I?

ANS:-POTATO!!!
Thanks to everyone who responded and each and everyone of u did get it right:))). And also my heart congrats to all those who got it right!!!

And now this week's TQ .

On what vegetable did an ancient Egyptian place his right hand when taking an oath?

I have to say this but please "NO CHECKING ON INTERNET OR BOOKS" for answers:)).My friends lets have some fun,take some wild guesses :).THANK U

SOME FUN FOOD FACTS(FFF) and A QUESTION!!!

I was doing some research on some food facts and i came across some interesting ones and i wanted to share it with all of u.

• Carrots Really Can Help You See In The Dark!!

Vitamin A is known to prevent "night blindness," and carrots are loaded with Vitamin A. So, why not load-up today!

• The Word "Salary" Comes From "Salt!"

Salt, our oldest preservative, was extremely rare in the past. So rare, in fact, that it was often used as pay. Imagine...earning a couple of tablespoons of salt for a hard-days work. Today, salt is so common that restaurants give it away for free, and packaged food contains so much that it's far too easy to eat too much salt (salt is also known as "sodium").

• Sometimes Frozen Fruits And Vegetables
  Are More Nutritious Than Fresh!

The longer that fruits or vegetables sit around waiting to be sold or eaten, the more nutrients they lose. But fruits and vegetables grown for freezing are usually frozen right after they're picked. Therefore, they have less time to lose their nutrients.

• It Takes 3500 Calories To Make A Pound Of Fat!

So, as long as you're active, and burning of calories, calories shouldn't have too much of a chance to turn into fat.

More FFF later.:)
