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.

So, because of all the things that God does for us, we can say this: If God is working on our behalf, nobody can really do anything against us.

“Shat mat” is an Arabic expression that means “the king is dead,” and it’s the origin of the term checkmate. The game of chess existed in the East in many different forms since the sixth century, it reached Europe via the Arab world. The term “mate” in the word “checkmate” has nothing to do with the English word that means friend or companion. 

Instead, its true meaning is more closely related to the modern Persian word “mate,” which means “unresponsive” or “unable to respond.”
