 Which breakfast
item is one of the only foods that contains vitamin D? -
The egg, its yolk in particular, is one of the few food
sources with naturally occurring vitamin D. In fact, the egg also is one of the
best proteins for humans, containing nearly all the essential amino acids. Did
you know a hen rotates the egg 50 times or more a day so the yolk won't stick
to the side?
- How many pounds of
bacon are produced in the U.S. each year? - Two
billion pounds of bacon are produced each year. That's almost seven pounds for
every man, woman, and child. In the U.S., bacon is made from the belly of the
pig. In Canada it comes from the pork loin, and in Europe, bacon is made from
the thigh or shoulder.
 What are grits
and groats? - Grits, or hominy grits, are kernels of
corn that have been soaked in an alkaline solution, which improves the flavor
and texture of the kernel. It also makes it easier to grind. The flour used in
corn products like tortillas and chips usually are ground from hominy grits.
Groats are the kernel of the oat grain with the hull removed. Groats are much
chewier than rolled oats and require longer soaking to make them more edible.
Irish steel-cut oats are chopped groats. They are chewier than regular oatmeal
but cook faster than whole groats.
- How many pounds of
milk does it take to make one pound of yogurt? - One
pound. It's made by adding bacteria to ferment the milk, without affecting the
volume. Americans put away about 300,000 tons of yogurt each year.
 How many peanuts are in a 12-ounce jar of peanut butter? -
550 peanuts are ground into one 12-ounce jar of creamy
peanut butter. Peanut butter is largely consumed only in America. Only in the
latter part of the 20th century has peanut butter caught on overseas, but it is
still considered a specialty item abroad. It is believed to have initially been
developed by a doctor for a patient with bad teeth.
