Everitean Food

During the week, I asked people on social media to ask questions about food they’d like to know. Below are the top questions, answered.

1. How to Process and Preserve Beans?

Bean pests are mostly weevils that bore holes in them, thus destroying the grains. Preservation can be done in 2 Ways:

Putting your clean beans into a jar and storing in a refrigerator. The beans stored at low temperature inhibits the growth of the weevils and kills them.

Whole pepper can also be added into the bag of beans. The hot spice aroma of the pepper prevents the weevil from penetrating into the bean.

2. What are the best meals for an outdoor date?

Best meals to take are mostly snacks that are handy and do not spill, that also contain some calories for energy boosters to play. Examples include:

Fruits such as ( fruit salads, apples, banana, strawberry etc)

Drinks

Snacks (samosa, springrolls etc)

Club sandwish

Waffles

Pizza

All these can be packed up for a picnic

3. Between Mayonnaise and Salad cream, which is better for salad?

First I’d say it depends on the taste for you.Both salad cream and mayonnaise contains same ingredients just in different amount of proportion. Ingredients are mostly egg yolks, corn seed oil, vinegar, starch etc. Thus your taste bud makes the decision.

4. What are the best meals for an hour glass shape?

Even though this is determined by family or inherited genes,It takes consistency and persistence to get the desired body shape if you want to use food to achieve it. Fruits and vegetables are mostly recommended. Leafy greens like spinach and lettuce that contain less calories can be eaten on a daily basis.

You can contact your nutritionist for your preferred body type diet.

5. Apart from freezing, what other methods can I use to preserve fish?

Sun-drying is a good methods. Place your fish on a tray and dry under the sun.

Frying or smoking of the fish is also a guaranteed method.

Curing of the fish by adding salt is a safe method to keep your fish.

All these methods reduce the moisture content of the fish, thereby giving the bacteria no room for survival.

6. What are the best meals to lose weight?

In as much as this doesn’t happen overnight, it takes perseverance and hard work to get desired results.

Boiled eggs contain less calories and are highly nutritious.

Salmon fish also contains less calories.

Boiled potatoes

Vegetables like cucumber ,cabbage and lettuce. (Salad preferably).

Apple cider vinegar( bottled liquid available in malls or amazon)

Lime water….All these are effective for weight loss.

7.Apart from Rice, what other cereal can I eat?

Unfortunately, different countries produce different types of food, hence you are limited to what is available in your country unless you travel abroad. But it all depends on your creativity.

Maize/Corn is a great cereal, that can be eaten with Beans, blended and baked to form maize cake.

Rice can also be pounded into “Tuwo” and eaten. Potatoes can be pounded also

Sorghum, millet are also available. Depends on your creativity.

8. How often should I drink water?

As often as you get thirsty!

There’s no determined measurement or rule!.

If your question wasn’t answered….it means the answer is too long and so might be turned in to a single post.
