Here are the answers to that lovely round (in no particular order).
1) The secret to fluffy bread is carbon dioxide gas, which is released by yeast during fermentation.
2) Adding sugar to your recipe makes cookies soft because it attracts water from the air.
3) Dark chocolate is considered healthy because it contains antioxidants, which act as a polyphenol in the body.
4) Fruits like bananas turn brown because of an enzyme called tyrosinase reacting with oxygen in the air.
5) Adding salt to boiling water raises its boiling point, making it easier to cook pasta.
6) The saffron grows from bulbs called corms and not from seed.
7) Peanuts grow underground and are the only legumes that can be eaten without first being cooked.
8) Chocolate is one of the few edible substances that melts just below the body temperature of the human body.
9) Cashews grow on trees and the pulpy part of the fruit is made into drinks, and sometimes even distilled into liquor.
10) When the onion is cut, a particular enzyme called alliinase is released which produces very volatile substances that literally make us cry.
11) There are over 300 types of pasta and the type depends on the length, the dough and the shape you want to give.
12) This seed contains myristicin, a neurotoxic substance which, in large quantities, causes hallucinations and convulsions.
13) Rhubarb is commonly used in pastry making but only the stalk of this plant is edible.
14) There are around 7,000 varieties of apples of different origins in various countries, and they differ in consistency, colour, and flavor.
15) Avocados are toxic to pets as the leaves, fruit and stone contain a toxin called persin.
