Kurz gebratenes Rindertatar: Jetzt nicht durchdrehen!

Veganer müssen jetzt ganz tapfer sein, Vegetarier von Ovo bis Lakto ebenso. Aber auch Kranke, Alte, Kinder und Schwangere brauchen hier nicht weiterzulesen. Denn heute essen wir zur Abwechslung mal einen großen Haufen rohes Fleisch.

Zu Risiken und Nebenwirkungen muss nicht immer Arzt oder Apotheker befragt werden, manchmal langt auch schon ein kleiner Schnack mit dem Metzger des Vertrauens. Denn Vertrauen sollte er unbedingt genießen, wenn wir fertiggewolftes Hack aus seiner Auslage kaufen, anstatt es uns vor den eigenen Augen live durchdrehen zu lassen. Für richtig gutes rohes Steak Tartare (in Frankreich traditionell oft aus Pferdefleisch) ist beides allerdings eher eine schwache Notlösung.

Cutlery 'can influence food taste'

Our perception of how food tastes is influenced by cutlery, research suggests.

Size, weight, shape and colour all have an effect on flavour, says a University of Oxford team.

Cheese tastes saltier when eaten from a knife rather than a fork; while white spoons make yoghurt taste better, experiments show.

The study in the journal Flavour suggests the brain makes judgements on food even before it goes in the mouth.

Why the fridge may not be the best place for your veggies

Your plants are alive. And the way you store them once you bring them home from the grocery store could determine how many nutrients you’re getting from them, a new study found.

A study published in Current Biology showed that even after a plant has been harvested, its cells are still active, and it’s still sensitive to light. In an earlier study, the same group discovered that plants use this ability to sense light to prepare themselves for daytime insect attacks, judged using their circadian clocks. They pump themselves full of hormones, which causes an accumulation of chemical compounds called glucosinolates that repels the insects.
