Mushrooms are a controversial food item that people seem to either love or hate. If you love them, then you’ll understand how versatile they are and how delicious they can be. They are a very unique food item and play a huge role in the varied ecosystems of the world. If you love mushrooms, then here are some cool facts about them that you can share with your fellow fungi fans. 

Fungi Aren’t Plants

It can be easy to view mushrooms as plants but they are an entirely different classification of organism. Mushrooms fall under the category of fungi, which includes yeast, mold, and rust. Fungi are more closely related to the animal kingdom than the plant one.

Mushrooms Produce Vitamin D

This vitamin is often associated with sunshine and is super important for keeping our bodies and minds healthy. Mushrooms are the only food item found in the fresh produce section that creates vitamin D.

They’re Used for Much More than Food

Mushrooms have been eaten for thousands of years and used for medicinal purposes too. More recently, scientists have been working to create 100% biodegradable packaging out of mushroom mycelium. They are also starting to be used as natural pesticides and clothing dyes. 

They’re the Largest Organism in the World

Armillaria Ostoyae are the largest fungi, with the biggest recorded in the Malheur National Forest, Oregon, USA, which is 2,400 years old and covers an area of more than 2,200 acres.

It’s cherry picking season, which means it’s the perfect time to learn all about this luscious fruit. Other than being incredibly delicious, cherries are also full of surprises—from their bountiful harvest to their ancient roots, here are five facts you should know.

Cherry Overload

Did you know that the average cherry tree can yield a whopping 7,000 cherries? That’s enough to bake about 30 pies, ensuring there’s plenty of cherry yumminess to go around.

Nutritional Benefits

Other than being packed with potassium, vitamin C, and fiber, cherries are also rich in polyphenol antioxidants like anthocyanin and quercetin. These promote heart health and offer various other antioxidant benefits.

Vast Variety

With over 1,000 varieties, cherries come in all shapes and sizes. However, only a select few—less than 10—are commercially grown. From Lamber to Rainier, some of the popular varieties are sweet and others are tart.

Cherries Through the Ages

Originating in Turkey and southwest Asia, cherry trees have a rich history that dates back centuries. They were cultivated as early as 72 BC in ancient Rome, and some trees in Japan are still thriving after over 1,000 years.

Maraschino Magic

Did you know that maraschino cherries are actually pickled? These delicious sundae toppers undergo a transformation in saltwater before being bathed in that signature sugary syrup.

Unlike the traditional thin-crust pizzas associated with Italy, the deep dish pizza is an American twist that turned the pizza world upside down. But how did this iconic dish come into being? Let’s dive into the origins of the Chicago deep-dish pizza.

The inception of the deep dish pizza traces back to 1943, in the heart of Chicago. Two enterprising individuals, Ike Sewell and Ric Riccardo, envisioned a pizza that was more than just a snack—it was to be a full meal. They wanted to create something uniquely Chicagoan, something that reflected their city’s robust character and hearty appetite. 

Sewell and Riccardo opened Pizzeria Uno in Chicago’ to bring their vision to life. The restaurant’s original pizza chef, Rudy Malnati Sr., is often credited with developing the recipe that would define the Chicago deep-dish pizza. This new kind of pizza featured a thick crust that rose high on the sides of a round steel pan, creating a deep vessel that could hold generous amounts of cheese, meat, vegetables, and sauce.

Over the years, the deep-dish pizza has become an ambassador of Chicago’s food scene, a favorite of locals, and sought after by visitors from around the globe.

Known for its moist, airy texture and deep chocolate flavor, devil’s food cake has been a staple in American baking for over a century. But how did this sinfully delicious cake come to be, and why is it named so devilishly? Let’s take a look.

The Humble Beginnings

While the exact date of devil’s food cake’s invention remains unclear, most historians agree it emerged in the early 20th century in the United States. The first recorded recipe appeared in 1902 in Sarah Rorer’s Mrs. Rorer’s New Cook Book, calling for a modest 2 ounces of melted chocolate – a far cry from the decadent versions we enjoy today.

The Rise of “Devilish” Delights

Several theories explain the “devil’s food” label. One suggests it was a counterpart to the lighter, “angelic” angel food cake. Another claims its richness and slightly darker hue compared to standard chocolate cakes earned it the title. Some even speculate the name was purely marketing genius, designed to capture attention.

Evolution

Over the decades, devil’s food cake evolved. Increased cocoa content, baking soda for leavening, and richer butter and sugar contributed to its signature moistness and density. 

Today, the cake comes in many forms: from the classic layered cake to cupcakes and even gluten-free or vegan versions.

Tootsie Roll, the iconic chocolate-flavored taffy, has been enjoyed by kids and adults across the United States since 1907. With qualities reminiscent of both caramels and taffy, this sweet treat was actually the first ‘penny candy’ to come individually wrapped in America.

Tootsie Roll Industries stands tall as one of the globe’s largest candy manufacturers, making over 65 million Tootsie Rolls daily. According to them, the secret is a recipe that includes a bit of the previous day’s batch, which is a tradition dating back to the candy’s inception.

Early Beginning

The story begins with founder Leo Hirschfield, a Jewish-Austrian immigrant, the descendant of a family of candy makers, who started his candy career in a small New York City shop in 1896. After dabbling in jelly powders, he perfected the Tootsie Roll in 1907, naming it after his daughter Clara, aka “Tootsie”. The first rolls hit the market in September 1908.

Later Incarnation

Though Hirschfield’s journey ended tragically in 1922, his legacy endured. In 1935, Joseph Rubin & Sons rescued the company from financial woes, with Bernard Rubin appointed as its president. He revamped the formula and size, propelling sales twelvefold by the time of his passing in 1948.

Today

Ellen Rubin Gordon, daughter of William B. Rubin (Bernard’s brother), took over in 2015 and has been steering the ship since. Today, she serves as chairman and CEO, proudly continuing the Tootsie Roll legacy.

But enough history—let’s talk flavor. Alongside the classic cocoa, Tootsie Roll offers a rainbow of fruity options like cherry, orange, vanilla, lemon, and lime in their Tootsie Fruit Chews.

So, next time you’re craving a sweet pick-me-up, grab your Tootsie Roll of choice and savor a piece of sweet history.

When Suzie Owens decided to take her four rowdy kids to a diner to celebrate her son’s birthday, she thought this time might be different. But this ordinary-seeming meal was about to become an afternoon the Owens family would never forget.

Known for its moist, airy texture and deep chocolate flavor, devil’s food cake has been a staple in American baking for over a century. But how did this sinfully delicious cake come to be, and why is it named so devilishly? Let’s take a look.

The Humble Beginnings

While the exact date of devil’s food cake’s invention remains unclear, most historians agree it emerged in the early 20th century in the United States. The first recorded recipe appeared in 1902 in Sarah Rorer’s Mrs. Rorer’s New Cook Book, calling for a modest 2 ounces of melted chocolate – a far cry from the decadent versions we enjoy today.

The Rise of “Devilish” Delights

Several theories explain the “devil’s food” label. One suggests it was a counterpart to the lighter, “angelic” angel food cake. Another claims its richness and slightly darker hue compared to standard chocolate cakes earned it the title. Some even speculate the name was purely marketing genius, designed to capture attention.

Evolution

Over the decades, devil’s food cake evolved. Increased cocoa content, baking soda for leavening, and richer butter and sugar contributed to its signature moistness and density. 

Today, the cake comes in many forms: from the classic layered cake to cupcakes and even gluten-free or vegan versions.

Tootsie Roll, the iconic chocolate-flavored taffy, has been enjoyed by kids and adults across the United States since 1907. With qualities reminiscent of both caramels and taffy, this sweet treat was actually the first ‘penny candy’ to come individually wrapped in America.

Tootsie Roll Industries stands tall as one of the globe’s largest candy manufacturers, making over 65 million Tootsie Rolls daily. According to them, the secret is a recipe that includes a bit of the previous day’s batch, which is a tradition dating back to the candy’s inception.

Early Beginning

The story begins with founder Leo Hirschfield, a Jewish-Austrian immigrant, the descendant of a family of candy makers, who started his candy career in a small New York City shop in 1896. After dabbling in jelly powders, he perfected the Tootsie Roll in 1907, naming it after his daughter Clara, aka “Tootsie”. The first rolls hit the market in September 1908.

Later Incarnation

Though Hirschfield’s journey ended tragically in 1922, his legacy endured. In 1935, Joseph Rubin & Sons rescued the company from financial woes, with Bernard Rubin appointed as its president. He revamped the formula and size, propelling sales twelvefold by the time of his passing in 1948.

Today

Ellen Rubin Gordon, daughter of William B. Rubin (Bernard’s brother), took over in 2015 and has been steering the ship since. Today, she serves as chairman and CEO, proudly continuing the Tootsie Roll legacy.

But enough history—let’s talk flavor. Alongside the classic cocoa, Tootsie Roll offers a rainbow of fruity options like cherry, orange, vanilla, lemon, and lime in their Tootsie Fruit Chews.

So, next time you’re craving a sweet pick-me-up, grab your Tootsie Roll of choice and savor a piece of sweet history.
