How would you like a piece of cookware that is 300 million years old? These Himalayan Salt Plates are cut from ancient salt deposits and are considered the purest form of salt.
They are becoming very popular right now to cook on and for good reason - they impart a rich flavor to anything you cook on them and not just a salty flavor. The plates contain mineral deposits that add a richness that you can't get with just salt. There are a few ways you can use your salt plates. You can either cook on them, chill them, or serve foods on them at room temperature. I have done all three and I suggest that if you find you like doing that, buy two salt plates - one to keep "pretty" for serving cold foods and one on which to cook.

Fresh tempeh at the market, Jakarta, Indonesia – traditionally, tempeh is wrapped in banana leaves. History[edit] Tempeh being sold in Java, early 20th century Tempeh originated in today's Indonesia, probably on the island of Java. The earliest known reference to it appeared in 1815 in the Serat Centhini.[4] Three detailed, fully documented histories of tempeh, worldwide, have been written, all by Shurtleff and Aoyagi (1985, 1989, and 2001). Production[edit] Sliced tempeh Tempeh begins with whole soybeans, which are softened by soaking, and dehulled, then partly cooked. A mild acidulent, usually vinegar, may be added to lower the pH and create a selective environment that favors the growth of the tempeh mold over competitors.
Traditional tempeh is often produced in Indonesia using Hibiscus tiliaceus leaves. Nutrition[edit] The soy carbohydrates in tempeh become more digestible as a result of the fermentation process. Preparation[edit] [citation needed] Tempeh burger Tempeh mendoan Types[edit] Tangelo. Varieties of tangelos[edit] The early maturing Orlando tangelo is noted for its juiciness, mild and sweet flavor, large size, and flat-round shape with a characteristic knob.
California/Arizona tangelos have a slightly pebbled texture, good interior and exterior color, very few seeds, and a tight-fitting rind. Orlando tangelos are available from mid-November to the beginning of February. It originated as a cross between a Duncan grapefruit and a Dancy tangerine.[2] W. T. Swingle of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is credited with creating the hybrid in 1911. Minneola[edit] The Minneola tangelo (sometimes misspelled "Mineola") is a cross between a Duncan grapefruit and a Dancy tangerine, and was released in 1931 by the USDA Horticultural Research Station in Orlando. Drug interactions[edit] One study so far has shown that, unlike grapefruit, interactions with statins are not likely with tangelos, even though it is derived from a grapefruit crossed with a tangerine.
