Dr. Richard Wrangham, a Harvard scientist, has been able to demonstrate through his studies that cooking your food helps you digest it better. How? It actually facilitates the job for your digestive system, especially your intestines but even the rest of your body. Plus, when food is cooked, it increases the amount of available nutrients and it makes the essential nutrients easier to absorb. This makes you spend less energy on digestion and consequently helps you increase your calorie intake. And since modern Man is becoming increasingly lazy, cooked food is also easier to chew and requires less efforts: so...

There’s finally a solution for disposable forks and spoons that limits plastic waste. Instead of ending in a landfill, you can eat them. This concept has been developed in India, the world’s largest user of disposable cutlery, where 120 million pieces get thrown out each year. The company behind it is called Bakey’s Edible Cutlery and was founded in India in 2010. Bakey’s offers an alternative solution: cutlery made of millet, rice and wheat. And guess what, they also come in different flavors! You can buy 100 pieces for less than £3, which is a tiny bit more expensive than...

Are you all familiar with a gas called Methane? It’s a greenhouse gas, like carbon dioxide, only 25 times more dangerous to the climate! Unfortunately, it is found in a cow’s flatulence! According to the UN’ Food and Agriculture Organization, domesticated ruminants expel about a hundred million tons of methane per year! Woah! That’s way more than transportation in CO2 equivalent.But mostly, this means that methane emitted from livestock contributes for 18% of Global Warming. Crazy, right? So eating much less meat and dairy product is an effective way to reduce our personal carbon footprint and reduce our personal impact...

The germination is the biological process of a plant life. Indeed, to reproduce they produce seeds that contain an embryo (the future plant) and reserves that are essential in the early stages of growth. After their production, the seeds get naturally in a state called “dormancy”, life turns into a breaking time that allows the seeds to face the bad season in complete safety. Like hibernation with animals! The germination is, in fact, the stage at which the seed passes from this state of latency to a resumption of life. The germinated seeds are small shoots in the first stage of germination, we...
