The fruit has a kidney-shaped nut, about 3 cm x 1.2 cm attached to a much enlarged and swollen pedicel or receptacle forming the fruit-like cashew apple.

    Our Daily Bread, as the title suggests this is not about bread, as I hoped it was. Rather it's about people earning their bread, their livelihood. The term ‘bread’ is derived from the larger term ‘bread-winner’ as the one who is the primary provider of the household, and the ‘daily bread’ is simply referring their daily livelihood. As my time spent in the US, I often used to wonder how the different food companies were able to produce mass amount of food to keep the population fed. This movie is the answer and the revelation of how food is produced in Europe and the Western hemisphere.…

    As young impressionable children, parents and doctors always try to do what is best for us, including and possibly most importantly, the food we eat; what is healthier, what has less sugar, what has more nutritional value, etcetera…Even as adults, people tend to look for the product that has health benefits, such as the popular wheat bread. Wheat bread has always be thought to be the better choice over white bread, considering it has whole grains, fiber, oats, and is more natural. But is that necessarily the case? When looking deeper into the components of most wheat bread, ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, processed salts, chemicals, preservatives, and so-called enriched white flour can be found. According to leading nutritionists, these ingredients are in no way healthy for the consumer; they can be linked to weight gain and other chronic diseases. So what is so wholesome about this wheat bread; it has always thought to be the healthier choice, but in reality, it is just as bad for the consumer as any other processed product.…

    Man has been making bread since the Stone Age. It's at least ten thousand years old. And it's certainly a fundamental part of our culture here. It's a significant part of our diet, and even a significant part of our psyche. We talk about a worker being a "breadwinner", someone who "puts bread on the table", and our job is our "bread and butter". We call any rich agricultural area of a country its "breadbasket". And in fact, "bread" and "dough" are both current slang for "money", which is another fundamental necessity in our society.…

    Stretching back through history, bread has played a crucial role as the staple food of many Western countries. This said however, evidence of bread in Britain wasn’t significantly apparent until 55BC when Romans invaded, bringing with them; complex bakery techniques, watermills and mechanical dough mixers. Such progression in the industry stemmed from the foundation of the first Guild of Bakers in 150BC Rome. Interestingly enough, it was white bread which became sought after by Roman aristocracy of the time and although it is still the bread of choice for many consumers in Western societies, its value and association with social class has greatly declined. Despite such rapid development, Grains were first harvested by Egyptians in 8000BC and were crushed by hand using what we would recognise today as a pestle and mortar. All bread was unleavened as raising agents such as yeast were yet to be introduced. Bread production began to develop along the fertile banks of the Nile and by 3000BC, baking bread had become a skill. Due to the warm climate, natural yeasts became attracted to the multi grain flour combinations which were used at the time, and so bakers began experimenting with leavened dough. With the invention of the closed oven, bread established its place as part of a cuisine and at its peak, was used as currency (Bakers Federation.2012).…

    Bread Yeast

    • 704 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Bread is such a common food, who would expect it to be made in such a fascinating and clever way? A simple loaf contains just four main ingredients; flour (the main ingredient), warm water (the yeast prefer the water warm), salt and of course the yeast, tiny microscopic fungi that help the bread rise. Although fascinating the process is surprisingly simple; first, the flour, sugar and water is mixed together with yeast to make the bread dough, next the yeast ferments (a chemical change that results in the production of alcohol or gas) natural sugars in the dough to make alcohol and carbon dioxide bubbles. The gas is trapped in the sticky proteins in the mixture and causes it to bubble and rise, whilst the alcohol is converted to compounds which give the bread its taste as it is baked in the oven.…
