Discover strange facts about foods such as chocolate, peanuts, Caesar salad, proof spirit, and ackee
If you are what you eat, what you are is pretty weird
Chocolate was so valuable to the ancient Aztec and Maya that they used cocoa beans as currency.
Peanuts are classified as legumes. This technically makes them beans, not nuts.
Caesar salad has nothing to do with the Roman emperor. It was created in 1924 by Caesar Cardini, an Italian restaurant owner in Tijuana, Mexico.
Before the English government standardized the threshold to determine if an alcoholic beverage was a "proof spirit," they'd dip a bullet in the liquor and see if they could light it on fire, and they would tax it higher if they could.
Eating unripe food can kill, at least in the case of Jamaica's national fruit: ackee, introduced to the Caribbean by African slaves, is toxic and even fatal if its flesh is eaten before it has ripened.
