Illustration Made with green beans, famous for their special delicious taste and high nutritional value, produced in An Thai region (Nhon Phuc – An Nhon). The reason it is called “Song Than” is because when making vermicelli, people often make vermicelli into pairs. Legend has it that the kings of the Nguyen Dynasty often summoned An Thai vermicelli workers to Hue to make vermicelli, but were unsuccessful because there was no water in the Kon River, so it was also called vermicelli “river of gods”. What makes vermicelli noodles different from other popular vermicelli noodles is that the noodles are made from mung bean flour instead of rice or wheat flour. That is why this specialty noodle dish of Binh Dinh has a unique delicious taste and high nutritional value. However, it takes up to 5kg of green beans to produce 1kg of vermicelli, but the price on the market is a bit high. Bun Song Than not only requires elaborate processing, but also requires meticulousness and precision when drying the noodles. The place to dry the vermicelli must be a sandy beach along the Con River and must be under the sun and light wind. The ideal time to make vermicelli is from March to June. And only when it is dried in the sun of the Con River, will the bright white noodles, chewy and delicious, be born. Illustration. Bun song lizard can be processed into many different dishes such as: vermicelli served with broths cooked from beef, pork or shrimp, or processed into stir-fried vermicelli. Because it is made from green beans, the vermicelli fiber is tough, when processing, it is not broken.

We know that avocado is a fruit rich in nutritional value, with a fatty taste, very suitable for making smoothies in the summer. According to research, avocado is rich in antioxidants, contains up to 14 vitamins and minerals, including calcium, iron, copper, potassium, sodium, zinc, selenium… As a believer in avocado, Ms. Nguyen Hoang Thu shared that every year when the avocado season comes, she also has a headache about preserving avocados to eat gradually without spoiling. She said that every avocado season comes she is “zealous” from the beginning of the season and always has a “headache” when buying avocados to eat.

In addition, soy sauce also contains trypsin and if combined with egg whites will greatly reduce the nutritional value of eggs. This is not good for the human body by absorbing less nutrients that eggs bring. So a little white salt sprinkled on the egg will ensure that the flavor of the dish is enhanced and retains the required nutrients of the egg. Another habit to get rid of is to beat eggs evenly with onions and then rinse them. However, by doing so, the eggs and onions will sometimes be unevenly cooked or the inside is unripe but the outside is ripe, the scent of onions will not have a chance to radiate. The best way to use the onion is to put the onions in the fat first, when the onions release a new aroma, put the eggs in so that the onions and eggs both smell good. In addition, boiling eggs too well is also a wrong way to cook. This comes from the anxiety that eating raw or undercooked eggs is unhealthy, so many people boil eggs thoroughly to eat peace of mind. However, this is a misconception that the cook should immediately discard. Over-boiled eggs make the yolks inside will have gray streaks, frumpy and slightly sulfur-smelling, the whites are as chewy as rubber. Eggs that are boiled for too long are also susceptible to protein degradation, affecting health. We should just put eggs in the pot, add cold water, boil. Then take the pot out of the stove, cover and leave for 10 minutes for the eggs to dig, for 15 minutes to make the eggs just cooked. The habit of cooking meat with braised eggs with sugar to get the color of many people is also a mistake to give up. Because doing so will cause the amino acid fructose protein in eggs to combine with lysine to create a compound that is difficult for the body to absorb, which adversely affects the digestive system.

Weasel coffee or mink coffee is the name of a special coffee, a beverage that is ranked among the rarest in the world.

Experts in this article: Comprehension Exam, PhD student at Huodong University of Science and Technology, China.

Reviewer of this article: Professor Ph.D. Liu Shaoi, Associate Director of the Research Center for Food and Drug Administration at the East China University of Science and Technology, PhD in Food Science from Pennsylvania State University, Postdoc at Kansas State University, United States States.

This type of coffee is found in Indonesia, on the islands of Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi. The word Kopi Luwak is used to refer to a type of seed which is eaten by the spotted civet that eats the fruit of the coffee and then disposed of the feces, dried and processed.

Although the Vietnamese language mentions weasels, the animals involved are civets, not weasels. Meanwhile the name Kopi Luwak comes from the Indonesian word kopi meaning coffee. Luwak is the name of an area on the Java island, as well as the name of a civet that resides there.

The spotted palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus belongs to the Viverridae family), which is scattered in Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam and southern China.

In Vietnam, civets are raised to make this special coffee.

If you’ve ever seen some shows run by PETA and BBC, the stories behind mink coffee are told in great detail. Some cups of mink feces coffee can even be sold for the equivalent of 64 million VND / kg.

Why is there such expensive coffee? Is there any difference in nutrition compared to regular coffee? We will analyze the relevant factors and understand more about the nature of weasel coffee.

Is weasel coffee really made from mink feces?

First of all, the animal that actually produces the marketed mink coffee is not a weasel, which is called a “civet”, or civet coffee in English. It is a very cute animal.

However, mink feces coffee does not use mink waste to directly brew coffee, but it goes through a more elaborate processing process than regular coffee.

The essence of weasel coffee stems from the civet that likes to eat the coffee cherry, the fruit of the coffee tree and the seed in the cherry coffee is the coffee bean that is still fresh on the tree.

In the dung released by the civet, the beans are still intact, but they all undergo a unique fermentation in the civet’s digestive system, which saves a lot of coffee making.

After that, they are picked up and the civet dung is cleaned, dried, and directly roasted to get the finished mink coffee product.

So when it comes to your brewing stage, the civet’s manure has long been removed, and what you use is an ordinary cup of coffee with a slightly unique and very clean taste.

Is the nutritional value of mink coffee high?

According to some scientific studies, the Indonesian civet’s digestive system will destroy the protein in the coffee beans, reducing the bitterness of coffee and increasing the roundness of coffee.

The beans generally undergo fermentation of the outer shell, in the intestines of the civet special bacteria that provide a unique fermentation environment, thereby making the weasel coffee flavor unique. unique, thicker and softer.

The assessment of the modern coffee industry is: Weasel coffee is poor quality coffee

Weasel-based coffee is dubbed the second most expensive coffee in the world, mainly due to the hype of a commercial dealer who packaged a product too ordinary and inflated it to “premium”.

After the animals eat the coffee fruit, the undigested seeds are fermented and then passed out of the body through the intestinal tract. These “natural” processed beans are initially collected from the soil and processed by farmers and kept for themselves “to enjoy”.

But after purposefully requiring commercialization, packaging and beautification by the media, it has now become a specialty drink. The reason that people fall into the trap of traders is nothing but the lack of awareness about high quality authentic coffee.

What flavor of mink coffee?

To describe the taste of mink feces coffee with the words “great aroma” and “masterpiece” will only explain the legend of mink feces coffee.

According to expert Lilly Kubota, communications director of the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA), wrote an article in early 2011 and listed three conclusions:

1, The best mink feces coffee is not as good as the specialty coffee with the lowest score.

2, Genuine Weasel Feces Coffee is produced from a civet locked in a cage.

3.Most of what consumers can buy is counterfeit, because real goods are rare.

Coffee taster Stephen Vicks has published a coffee test report on the coffee website saying, “Two out of the four samples smelled of yeast and phenol respectively. it smells of alcohol, raw oysters, and has a rough feeling “.

It can be seen that consumers buy mink coffee not to buy quality, but to buy advertising gimmicks.

How should we treat mink coffee?

Due to the scarcity of commercial goods, mink coffee has become a sought-after commodity in the international market and is considered a “golden” coffee variety.

Now, for-profit mink coffee traders are no longer satisfied with the small yields that are freely sought from the forest, so in order to increase yields, they have industrially produced by imprisonment. civets are just for feeding the coffee berries and taking their droppings.

But the civet is actually an extremely free-loving creature that has gone on a hunger strike and opposed this brutal captivity, but traders are not afraid to torture the civet for manure in order to obtain a pricey civet coffee. high.

According to the British Daily Mail, in some parts of the Philippines and Indonesia, in order to obtain high-priced civet coffee beans, people ruthlessly locked civets into a cramped and dirty cage, causing the civet. Huong was extremely irritable and and almost depressed.

They are fed large amounts of coffee fruit per day to produce more coffee beans.

The civet faces serious health problems due to lack of vitamins and other nutrients.

Actually, it is just a cup of coffee, but it is the civet’s destiny

The West discovered and promoted mink feces coffee for the first time, and they are now fighting it.

In fact, compared to ourselves as humans, is this civet’s lifestyle synonymous with life imprisonment for free-loving creatures?

And what did the civets do wrong to be treated like this? That’s what we need to know about mink coffee, or to be exact, the coffee made from civet dung.

Many housewives often have a habit that just wash the vegetables three times because the vegetables will run out of dirt. But in fact, this habit only helps you to remove dirt and impurities, but if there are chemicals, they will not be washed away.

As for vegetables that are still contaminated with pesticides or chemicals, they cannot be removed. Besides, in many vegetables can contain a lot of parasites. And if you want to get rid of these parasites, you need to wash the vegetables under the tap water and wash them carefully one by one and soak them in a vegetable detergent solution.

Do not over-boil the vegetables

Cover the pot when boiling vegetables

Most housewives have a habit of swinging the pot when boiling vegetables, not completely wrong, but it also helps you retain the nutrients of the vegetables. But in fact, the fact that you cover the lid when boiling vegetables makes it difficult for chemicals to evaporate in high temperature conditions. In addition, the lid on the pot when boiling vegetables can easily make the vegetables yellow, less green and beautiful.

After cooking vegetables, do not eat immediately

Many families often cook rice and foodstuffs very early but they do not eat right away due to their busy work. Your family just finished boiling, that’s when the vegetables will be green, beautiful, and the most delicious to ensure the nutritional value of the dish. Therefore, you should eat now to ensure the nutritional value of the dish.

Do not cover the pot when boiling vegetables

And when you do, then reheat, the vitamin loses up to 90%. Thus, you should not leave the vegetables overnight, the nutritional value in the vegetables will no longer be available.

Boil vegetables too well

Many women have a habit when boiling vegetables of many housewives is to boil the vegetables too carefully, when they boil them on a high heat, they will cook very quickly. But this is completely wrong because many vegetables with high nutritional value should not be boiled too carefully, because when boiling the vegetables thoroughly, the vegetables will lose their nutritional value and be less delicious. Therefore, when processing vegetables you should know the properties of each vegetable for the best processing.
