"2 bottled greens"

Way back at the pandemic era one of my hobbies asides from bonsai trees are closed terrariums, this is not connected to food but I am correlating the science of a mason jar salad that is similar to the terra.

1. A closed terra is similar as it preserves the freshness and integrity of the contents

2. Beautiful neat and aesthetic

3. Handy and on the go anytime

"Onions and the cry cry"

2 methods was discussed to me by my mentor

Towel method and the citrus method

Placing a wet towel near your cutting board while slicing onions is a popular kitchen trick. The idea is that the wet towel helps absorb or trap some of the onion's volatile sulfur compounds before they reach your eyes.

When an onion is cut, it releases a gas called syn-propanethial-S-oxide, which reacts with the moisture in your eyes and causes tearing. A damp towel may attract some of these compounds because they are water-soluble, but its effect is usually modest.

Dabbing kalamansi juice on the chopping board is another commonly suggested home remedy, but there is little scientific evidence that it significantly reduces onion-induced tearing.

The acidic juice may:

Slightly alter or react with some sulfur compounds on the board's surface.

Add a pleasant citrus aroma that can mask onion odors.

Help reduce lingering onion smell on the board and hands.

While there are
Methods that tend to work better include:

Chilling the onions in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before cutting.

Using a very sharp knife to minimize cell damage.

Cutting under a kitchen exhaust fan or near good ventilation.

Wearing protective glasses or goggles for highly sensitive individuals.

Leaving the root end intact until the very end, since it contains a higher concentration of the compounds that cause tearing.

"Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs)"

The way we cook our food matters. High-temperature cooking methods such as grilling, charring, and open-flame barbecuing can increase the formation of Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs), compounds linked to oxidative stress, inflammation, and chronic diseases.

When grilling, allow the charcoal to become fully ashed over with a steady, moderate heat before placing food on the grill. Avoid flare-ups, excessive smoke, and direct exposure of food to open flames, as these can significantly increase AGE formation and other potentially harmful compounds.

Simple steps such as marinating foods, cooking at moderate temperatures, turning food frequently, and preventing charring can help reduce AGE production while still delivering that delicious grilled flavor.
Healthy cooking is not only about what we eat, but also how we prepare it.
