The word “lime” refers not to just the small citrus fruit, but also to a chemical compound known as calcium oxide, which is often called “quicklime.” In the early 19th century, an inventor named Goldsworthy Gurney invented a lighting technique in which he heated calcium oxide in a flame generated from burning hydrogen and oxygen. The product was an intense white light that was named “limelight”. Limelight was first used in long-distance surveying, until in 1837, when it was first used to light up a theater stage in Covent Garden in London. For the remainder of the 19th century, theaters all over the world started using limelight in the form of a concentrated spotlight beam to focus on specific actors or zones on stage, and to create sunlight, moonlight and other special effects. When the limelight was shone on an actor, it was a way of directing the audience’s attention toward that person. That’s how the phrase “to be in the limelight” came to mean “to be at the center of people’s attention.”

PINEAPPLE

When you sprinkle pineapple with salt, it becomes sweeter. It’s because table salt is mainly sodium chloride, and the sodium is effective in lowering bitterness levels in foods, making the pineapple less bitter. Scientists have found that salt diminishes our tongues’ perception of the sour taste that’s caused by the acidity of some foods, allowing the sweetness of the food to feature more prominently in our taste palates.

MUSHROOMS

Portobello, cremini, and button mushrooms are actually the same type of mushroom  and are just at different stages of maturity. They are all mushrooms of a species known as Agaricus bisporus. After these mushrooms sprout, they first grow into button mushrooms. If they are not harvested at the button stage, they will turn brown and grow into cremini mushrooms. If they still aren’t harvested at this stage, they will keep growing into large and fully mature Portobello mushrooms. 

This one species of mushroom accounts for 90% of all mushrooms produced in the United States.
