Useful Info You'll Likely Never Use

This will likely be a reoccurring post because a lot of information falls into this category. Stuff that is interesting to know and could actually be implemented but either has such a small impact that it isn't worth the effort OR you've not been implementing this information for a long time and nothing bad has come of it so why change. These tid bits falls into the latter category, at least it does for me.

Anyway, here you go:

1. Eggs should be stored with the tapered end down to maximize the distance between yolk and the air pocket, which may cause bacteria. The yolk is more perishable then the white, or albumen, and even though it is more or less centered in the egg, the yolk can shift slightly and will move away from possible contamination.

2. Figs make an excellent meat tenderizer, as do papayas and pinapples.

3. Adding a small amount of salt to a grapefruit will make it taste sweeter.

Interesting, eh?

In case you were wondering, I haven't implemented any of those things.
