04/04/19 Newsletter: What’s Lurking In Your Fave Candy

Say hello to the best part of your day and sign up for our daily newsletter!

Beyond the obvious sugar, it’s likely you don’t know about all the gross garbage lurking in your fave candy. Hydrogenated palm kernel oil, monoglycerides and tert-Butylhydroquinone are just a few of the ingredients in a Butterfinger. What? And if you just can’t live without Skittles, you’re ingesting a bunch of food dye along with tapioca dextrin (a hydrolyzed starch that adds crispness) and carnauba wax (for that shiny glaze). Not so appetizing anymore, eh? [Swirled]

Did You Know? Eating a salad after the main course is a common practice in Italian and French culture — and for good reason. The extra kick of fiber toward the end of the meal helps aid digestion, and while there’s always room for a dark chocolate truffle, you’re less likely to be tempted by a big dessert. [Swirled]

Recipe Of The Day: Pairing blistered Shishito peppers and a cocktail is a tasty (and surprisingly simple) way to start off your night. Infuse some oil with garlic, add it to a heated sauté pan and toss in the peppers. Sear them until they’re charred and blistered to your liking, and sprinkle them with a pinch of coarse sea salt. Finish the peppers with an optional drizzle of balsamic vinegar. Fun fact: Most Shishito peppers are mild, but there are always a few in the batch that are extra spicy. Can you handle the heat?
