Bergamot

What is bergamot?

The fruit itself is the size of a small orange and somewhat pear-shaped with a barely conical top and rounded base. On the outside, bergamot comes in various shades of green, yellow, and orange, and on the inside, they are color of limes, lemons, and, occasionally, oranges. Like most citrus, bergamots are in season from October to March. While the plant originated in Southeast Asia, most of the world’s supply—a whopping 80%—comes from Calabria, the southern region that is Italy’s “shoe,” but it’s also grown in the Ivory Coast, the south of Turkey, Brazil, and China.

Kojic

What Is Kojic Acid?

Kojic acid is quickly growing in popularity. Notably, it's starting to replace hydroquinone in many bleaching agents. For example, you can find kojic acid in products used to bleach skin and whiten teeth.  ‌

Kojic acid is a natural derivative of a fermented fungus. Several types of fungi produce kojic acid, but some produce more than others. ‌

Other potential benefits. Kojic acid isn't just a whitening agent. You may see kojic acid used in: 

  • Insecticides and pesticides
  • Fungicides
  • Anti-fungal and anti-bacterial drugs
  • Painkillers
  • Anti-inflammation drugs

  • Risks of Kojic Acid

    Kojic acid has few known risks, and observed side effects are rare. ‌

    One potential risk is contact dermatitis. Concentrations of kojic acid higher than 1% are more likely to cause contact dermatitis. Symptoms include:

    • Skin irritation
    • Rashes

Detoxification

Detoxification refers to the removal of waste fluids, excess oils, and bacteria from within the body system, i.e. digestive system.

Elements of Detoxification

Every 2-3 days 1 tsp of vinegar followed with 1-2  glasses of tap water.  Hot Water may be had with green tea or lemon tea. 2-3 times, 2-3 days in a row.

Healthy & Tasty Cooking

Channa Masala (Chick Peas with spices) No Oil.

For Channa,  I use a slow cooker.  I rinse the channa and place the channa in slow cooker with some baking soda.  I let it cook for about 3-4 hours.   Depending on how long the channa has been soaked in water, for overnight perhaps, then cooking time is reduce accordingly. (about 0.25 to 1 tbsp depending on quantity and tine elaspsed for pre-soakng).  In a large Fry Pan I boil about 1 cup water.  I place some tamarind pulp, spices and haldi (Turmeric about 0.25 tsp to 1 tsp).  I mix until the base is liquid enough with the blend.  I then simply mix the  cooked channa gently, and it is ready.  No oil required.

Variety to Traditional

Prepare a soft Batura Dough:  Plain Flour, about quarter cup yoghurt, a little salt, a little sugar and some warm water.  Mix ingredients to soft, pliable dough.  Wait about 15mins to 1hour.  Take the dough into small rounds.  On a flat non-stick cook plate, spread the dough lengthwise.  Place shredded cheddar cheese with sprinkle black pepper.  Cover the Cheese mix with another stretched soft dough.  Let it cook to toast on both sides.  Flip once or twice.  Delicious Cheese Bread:  Toasted Fresh and Soft.  A little butter to cook and to flavour.
