new guava flavor

What is guava? Well, it’s not a new fruit. Guava in fact, has been tracked back to be around at the least a few hundred years old. Guava is grown in mostly tropical climates. The shape of the guava is usually round or oval and most of the time not more than 6 inches large. Guava fruit is commonly known to be full of vitamins, including vitamin C and A. Guava has also been know to be full of antioxidants. Guava is often used as a desert, and found is many jams and jelly’s. How do you eat a guava? Well, many people eat the guava fruit like an apple but if you do the flavor will be more bitter than usual. The benefit of eating it this way is to gain all of the vitamins the guava has to offer. You can also try cutting the guava in half and eating it from the inside out, avoiding the rind. Whichever way you do eat the guava, I’m sure you will love the flavor of this rich fruit.

brine

What is a brine?
Can you brine shrimp?
Can you brine chicken?

A brine recipe is a solution of water and salt that (your) particular piece of food product soaks in to make the food more moist and more flavorful. The longer the piece of meat soaks in the brine the greater the flavor and moist level will be.
The basic setup for a brine is water and salt. Place your piece of meat in a large bowl with water that has been salted, making sure the meat in completely submerged in the water and that you are using a large bowl. The salt in the brine: usually starting at 1/4 of salt, but this usually takes practice to achieve the flavor you want. The most common piece of meat people soak in a brine is chicken or turkey, making sure that when you do brine a piece of meat that it stays in the refrigerator during the brine process or else you risk bacteria. Once you get the hang of making a brine for your favorite cuts you will love the possibilities, flavor, and moistness of the meat you brine. Once you master the plain old water and slat brine, which is great by itself, you can explore endless possibilities of adding different herbs to the brine.

You can brine shrimp, you can brine chicken, you can brine turkey, you can brine beef! The list goes on and on! I suggest looking up a recipe for your particular piece of meat to see the different possibilities of the brine and the extras you can add to the brine. Just remember, add water, enough salt to help lock in the moisture, and always keep the brine in the refrigerator.

Which gum flavor last the longest?

Which flavor of gum last the longest?

Currently there is a brand of gum that advertises as having a “ridiculously long lasting gum.”

The brand is Stride Gum, and they have a number of gum flavors to choose from:

Sweet Cinnamon, forever fruit, sweet berry, nonstop mint, always mandarin, spearmint, and sweet peppermint.

We don’t really have much proof on who has the longest lasting flavors of gum, we can only rely on the research each company does for their own gum brand. And as we all know most companies are biased to, well, to their own company. But if I had to try a gum to see how long it lasts I would start here, at Stride. If they say it lasts long, it better last long!
