🍿🔬 It's National Popcorn Day! Today, we delve into the world of popcorn, a snack that’s not only a favorite at movie theaters but also a marvel of culinary science. Popcorn's journey from kernel to snack is a fascinating tale that starts with the Zea mays var. everta – the only type of corn that pops! But what makes popcorn pop? At the heart of each kernel is a perfect balance of moisture and a strong hull. When heated, the moisture turns to steam, building pressure until the hull surrenders, creating that satisfying 'pop'. This process, akin to the precision we apply in our food formulations, is a beautiful symphony of temperature, timing, and texture. Celebrating National Popcorn Day, let’s appreciate the simplicity and sophistication of this snack. From the basic salted and buttered varieties to gourmet versions flavored with exotic spices and ingredients, popcorn exemplifies how simple elements can create a diverse array of enjoyable experiences. Here's to popcorn, a snack that not only delights our palates but also inspires us with its blend of simplicity and complexity, reminding us of the endless possibilities in the world of food and beverage formulation. 🌽 Cheers to the humble, yet extraordinary popcorn! 🎉🍿 #NationalPopcornDay #GourmetPopcorn #FoodScience #FoodFormulations #FoodAndBeverage

Today is national Spaghetti Day (US) The word ‘spaghetti’ is derived from the word ‘spago,’ meaning twine or string. The first dish made from pasta was in Sicily, dating back to 1154. According to historians, this recipe was different from the pasta that we know today, which resembled lasagna more. The sticky starch (amylopectin) is a highly branched, soluble polysaccharide. If your cooked tagliatelle sticks together, ending up looking like a ball of yarn, amylopectin is the starch doing the sticking. The not so sticky starch (amylose) is a starch molecule that becomes gelatinized at temperatures above 65 degrees Celsius. It’s tightly packed, not as branched a molecule, compared to amylopectin.  It is insoluble in water and acts as an emulsifier, blocking tiny fat molecules, helping even the oiliest of sauces bind to the pasta. The protein mainly comes from egg, a little from the flour, but protein is an important part in pasta making. As it cooks, it forms a sort of string bag that holds the starch granules in place. To accomplish this, the goal is to form a net around both types of starch before the “not so sticky” starch gels, and floats away from your pasta #water #pasta #foodbusiness #foodandbeverageindustry #scienxe #sciencecommunication #foodscience #spaghetti #cooking #italianfood

JANUARY 4th - National "Spaghetti Day" (US) The origins of spaghetti are still controversial: an hypothesis is that Marco Polo brought back a culinary invention from the East, another hypothesis is that it is an Arab delicacy along trade routes, but also a native Sicilian delight dating back to the 12th Century Pasta is essentially made with four ingredients — water, (eggs), wheat, and salt. The first dish made from pasta was in Sicily, dating back to 1154. According to historians, this recipe was different from the pasta that we know today, which resembled lasagna more. Another significant difference was that it was cooked differently. That being said, there is no evidence of pasta after this, up until the 14th century. Another element that baffles historians is the exact origin of modern pasta. It is believed to have originated in Italy, but many are of the consensus that Marco Polo was the one to bring it back from his adventures in China, thus making China the original creator of pasta. Either way, after it made its way to Italy, the locals started making pasta from hard wheat shaped into elongated strands. This is where modern-day spaghetti comes from, although the original was closer to vermicelli in terms of texture. The word ‘spaghetti’ is derived from the word ‘spago,’ meaning twine or string. Just like in Italy, spaghetti is cooked around the world to “al dente,” which means that it is just soft enough to be bitten into easily, and quite chewy. Because of the chewy texture that is soft but firm, spaghetti can easily handle tomato sauce. Most spaghetti dishes are tossed in meaty tomato sauce, topped generously with freshly grated parmesan. #spaghetti More information below

What type of milk tastes best in coffee? I’m often experimenting to find the ideal milk taste for my morning cup of joe. Through extensive at-home trials of various dairy and nondairy additions, I’ve honed in on the perfect cafe complements. In this article, I’ll share my tastings of different coffee types pairings, from rich half-and-half to plant-based options like cashews and pea creamers. You’ll learn how I rate each for optimal flavor and texture when added to a freshly brewed cup. I’ll compare taste, froth quality, and overall pairing capability so you can determine your favorite creamy, coffeehouse-style cup accompaniment. Let’s explore the spectrum of cafe enhancements. #lido18 #coffeebeans #Types

Pizza is always on trend, but how it’s topped and prepared is the playground that never closes. Two big trends we’re seeing are global flavors and post-bake additions. Global ingredients like chimichurri and sambal add interest to the sauce layer of a pizza. Toppings like poblanos add Hispanic influence to a pizza. Giardiniera adds Italian American flair and, if you choose the right one, a hint of on-trend heat. Try adding sesame seeds to a crusty for global flavor and added crunch. Once that pizza is hot and melty and crusty and steamy out of the oven, finish it off with a dusting of seasoning, a drizzle of a global sauce, or serve with a dipping sauce. Chimichurri ranch or crunchy garlic in chili oil are two of the Savor team’s favorites. Savor Imports specializes in trends you can source.
