Saffron (Kesar): The golden elixir of flavor and wellness

<ul class="summary-list"><li>While there is no nutritional difference between brown and white <keyword id="18059" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Eggs">eggs</keyword>, there can be differences in <keyword id="52652" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="nutrition">nutrition</keyword> depending on what the hen is fed.</li><li>Brown eggs and white eggs do not taste different, the most important thing is getting fresh eggs.</li><li>Brown eggs are more common in New England, where brown-laying breeds originated.</li></ul>Brown or white? When it comes to buying eggs you probably choose out of habit, but the truth is the color of eggs doesn't matter much. Brown eggs and white eggs might look different, but in terms of taste, nutrition, and uses they're the same, says Ken Klippen, president of the<a href="http://www.eggfarmers.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> National Association of Egg Farmers</a>, who has a master's degree in poultry science. "There's no taste difference and no nutritional difference," Klippen says. Brown eggs simply have a pigment in the shell that white eggs don't have, he explains.Ultimately, the color of an egg tells you a little about the breed of chicken that laid it. Darker breeds tend to lay darker eggs, while white breeds lay white eggs. However, other aspects of the hen's <keyword id="6354750" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="health">health</keyword>, especially what it was fed, could impact the nutritional value, taste, and texture of your eggs - regardless of color, Klippen says. Here's what you should know about brown versus white eggs, and what else to look for when purchasing your dozen. <h2>Why are eggs white vs. brown? </h2>To understand why some eggs are brown, it's helpful to consider<a href="https://backyardpoultry.iamcountryside.com/eggs-meat/how-do-chickens-lay-eggs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> how eggs are produced</a>. The yolk of the egg - the ovum of the hen - enters the oviduct. As the yolk moves along, layers including the egg white and shell are added. That's the same for all eggs, but for brown eggs there's an extra step: At the end of the process, a pigment called<a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24235220/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> protoporphyrin IX</a> is added to the eggshell in dark-feathered hens. The color of the egg is entirely dictated by the breed. You can tell what color egg a hen will produce by looking at its feathers or earlobes. In general, brown layers are American-origin breeds like<a href="https://www.bovans.com/en/product/bovans-brown/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Bovans Browns</a> or<a href="https://www.bovans.com/en/product/bovans-brown/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> New Hampshire Red</a>, while white layers are Mediterranean-origin breeds like the<a href="https://www.thehappychickencoop.com/leghorn-chicken/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Leghorn</a>.<h2>Why are brown eggs more expensive?</h2>Most eggs sold in the United States are white, Klippen says. That's because breeds like the Leghorn are smaller, but still produce lots of eggs, so they are more economical for farmers. This also explains why brown eggs are often more expensive. "It takes more feed to feed and produce a dozen eggs for a brown-shelled egg layer, and that's your primary expense in farming eggs," he says. Despite that, brown eggs are more common in New England, where brown-laying breeds originated. They're also a more popular choice for free-range eggs, something that Klippen says is a marketing move."If consumers see something labeled cage-free, and it's brown, they think of a farm," he says. That holistic image can make people more willing to accept higher prices, says Klippen. <h2>What to consider when buying eggs</h2>Today, the choice of what eggs to buy goes beyond just white and brown. Here's what some of those <a href="https://www.ams.usda.gov/sites/default/files/media/USDA%20Grademarked%20Product%20Label%20Submission%20Checklist.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">common labels</a> you see on your egg cartons mean, according to Klippen: <ul><li>Free-range: Eggs labeled free-range come from hens that have unlimited access to food, water, and outdoor spaces during their laying cycle. </li><li>Cage-free: Eggs labeled cage-free are from hens that have unlimited access to food and water, plus some room to roam.</li><li>Omega-3 enriched: These are eggs from hens that have been fed a <keyword id="6358230" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="diet">diet</keyword> with flaxseed, which contains <a href="https://www.insider.com/omega-3-benefits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">omega-3 fatty acids</a>. The eggs, therefore, have more omega-3, but<a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/are-omega-3-eggs-as-good-as-eating-fish/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> much less</a> than a serving of fish. </li><li>Organic: Organic eggs originate from chickens that have been fed a wholly organic diet. They usually have access to the outdoors as well, Klippen says. </li></ul>Many eggs sold in the US are from caged chickens, Klippen says. These chickens have space to move around, Klippen says, but being in a cage with only a few other hens protects them from<a href="https://www.thehappychickencoop.com/the-pecking-order/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> the violent pecking</a> that hens do to each other. Spending on free-range or cage-free eggs doesn't necessarily guarantee a more humane experience for the chicken, he says. Some people opt to buy local or backyard eggs produced by a household or small farm. These eggs <a href="https://www.ams.usda.gov/sites/default/files/media/USDA%20Grademarked%20Product%20Label%20Submission%20Checklist.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">are not subject</a> to the same refrigeration requirements as FDA-regulated commercial eggs, Klippen says. If a farmer has fewer than 3,000 hens, they are not required to refrigerate eggs, so Klippen says that people buying local should make sure that the eggs they are purchasing have not been left in the sun, which could lead to bacterial growth,<a href="https://eggsafety.org/us-refrigerate-eggs-countries-dont/#:~:text=The%20answer%20has%20to%20do,before%20they%20reach%20the%20consumer." target="_blank" rel="noopener"> including salmonella</a>. "If the eggs sit in the sun for any length of time you could be exposing yourself to problems," he says.<h2>Insider's takeaway </h2>Looking at all the options for eggs can be overwhelming. While there is no taste or nutritional differences between brown and white eggs, there can be differences in nutrition depending on what the hen is fed. The most important thing is getting fresh eggs, Klippen says. While taste tests have shown that most people can't taste the difference between a fresh egg or one that is slightly older, there is a texture difference, Klippen says. Fresh eggs will be fluffy and full when cooked, while older eggs fall flat. To get the freshest egg possible, Klippen recommends skipping all the fancy labels. "When people ask me what is the best egg to buy, I tell them when you go into a retailer, look for the lowest cost eggs. Because consumers are price conscious, you're going to get a fresher egg," he says. "With a lower price, eggs turn over every day. If you buy just ordinary eggs, you should get eggs that are less than 48 hours old."<h2>Related articles from <a href="https://www.insider.com/health-reference" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Health Reference</a>:</h2><ul><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/saffron-benefits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Science-backed benefits of saffron - the world's most expensive spice</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/bee-pollen-benefits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Many health claims about bee pollen are unproven - here are 3 benefits backed by science</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/benefits-of-drinking-water" target="_blank" rel="noopener">7 science-backed benefits of drinking water - and how much water you should drink each day</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/celery-juice-benefits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Many health claims about celery juice are false - here are 4 proven benefits backed by science</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/benefits-of-beets" target="_blank" rel="noopener">6 proven health benefits of beets: How the root vegetable may improve athletic performance and help you lose weight</a></li></ul>

About 80% of fat in peanut butter is <a href="https://www.health.harvard.edu/healthy-eating/ask-the-doctor-why-is-peanut-butter-healthy-if-it-has-saturated-fat" target="_blank" rel="noopener">monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats</a>. Eating polyunsaturated fats can help <a href="https://medlineplus.gov/ency/patientinstructions/000747.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lower your LDL, or "bad," cholesterol</a>. Peanut butter also contains small amounts of saturated fat, a type of fat often <a href="https://medlineplus.gov/ency/patientinstructions/000838.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">found in animal products</a> such as butter and red meat. According to a <a href="https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD011737.pub3/full#CD011737-sec-0069" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2020 review</a>, reducing your saturated fat intake decreases your risk of cardiovascular disease, such as heart disease or <a href="https://www.insider.com/what-is-a-stroke" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stroke</a>. <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2843598/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A similar review in 2010</a> found replacing saturated fats with polyunsaturated fat - like that in peanut butter - can also reduce your risk of <a href="https://www.insider.com/what-causes-coronary-heart-disease" target="_blank" rel="noopener">coronary heart disease</a>. <h2>Peanut butter may manage blood sugar levels </h2>Peanut butter can be a great snack choice for people, like those with <a href="http://insider.com/what-is-diabetes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">diabetes</a>, who need to monitor their blood sugar levels. That's because peanut butter is low on the glycemic index (GI), a system that rates how quickly carbohydrate-containing foods can raise blood sugar. And low-GI diets <a href="https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD006296.pub2/full#CD006296-abs-0003" target="_blank" rel="noopener">have been shown</a> to improve glucose control for people with diabetes. However, studies have found that peanut butter isn't just helpful for people with diabetes. It can also improve blood sugar levels in people with <a href="https://www.insider.com/do-i-have-prediabetes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prediabetes</a> - a precursor to diabetes if preventative steps aren't taken - and healthy adults. For example, in a <a href="https://academic.oup.com/cdn/article/4/Supplement_2/1143/5844417" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2020</a> study, people with prediabetes who ate peanut butter as an evening snack saw improved fasting blood glucose levels the following day. Additionally, a small <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30395790/#:~:text=Conclusions%3A%20This%20study%20indicates%20that,prevent%20undesirable%20elevations%20in%20BG" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pilot 2018 study</a> in healthy adults found adding two tablespoons of peanut butter to a breakfast high in sugar and carbohydrates led to lower blood sugar increases than compared to eating the same breakfast alone. Eating nuts, including peanut butter, may also lower your risk of developing diabetes in the future. A large <a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/195554" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2002 study of women</a> found those who ate one ounce of nuts or peanut butter at least five times a week were 27% less likely to develop diabetes over 16 years when compared to peers who rarely or never consumed nuts.<h2>Peanut butter may help manage weight </h2>While peanut butter is calorically-dense with <a href="https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/fdc-app.html#/food-details/1100559/nutrients" target="_blank" rel="noopener">191 calories per two tablespoon</a>s, research indicates it may help people lose or maintain their weight thanks to its ability to keep them <a href="https://academic.oup.com/jn/article/138/9/1741S/4750849?rel=outbound" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fuller for longer</a>. A very <a href="https://nutrition.bmj.com/content/bmjnph/2/2/90.full.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">large 2019 study</a> collected data from 100,000 men and women in the United States over three decades found people who increased their nut consumption by just 14 g, or 0.5 ounces a day, gained less weight over time and had a lower risk of becoming <a href="http://insider.com/what-is-considered-obese" target="_blank" rel="noopener">obese</a>. Peanut and peanut butter eaters <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4711439/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">also tend to have a lower body mass index (BMI)</a>."Peanut butter is a pretty ideal mix of nutrients: You're going to get protein… [and] a little bit of fiber," says <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sumantohan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sumi Tohan</a>, RD, the associate Director of Nutrition at the American Diabetes Association. "Both protein and fiber delay how quickly your blood sugar rises, but delay digestion, which means you're going to feel fuller for longer."Therefore, you are more likely to consume fewer calories throughout the day while still feeling satisfied. <h2>Peanut butter may help you build muscle and gain weight </h2> Though peanut butter can help people manage their weight, it's also a great option for those looking to gain weight or build muscle mass. That's because peanut butter is calorically dense and contains about seven grams of protein. To gain one pound a week, someone should consume an <a href="https://uccs.edu/healthcircle/sites/healthcircle/files/inline-files/Weight%20Gain.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">extra 500 calories a day</a> from healthy, whole foods - which is about <a href="https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/fdc-app.html#/food-details/1100559/nutrients" target="_blank" rel="noopener">five tablespoons</a> of peanut butter. Additionally, if you are looking to build muscle mass you should aim for <a href="https://www.acsm.org/docs/default-source/files-for-resource-library/protein-intake-for-optimal-muscle-maintenance.pdf?sfvrsn=688d8896_2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">0.5 to 0.8 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day</a> of which peanut butter can help. <h2>Peanut butter contains many vitamins and minerals</h2>Peanut butter can also be a good plant-based source of essential vitamins and minerals, says <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathaliemat/?originalSubdomain=za" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nathalie Mat</a>, RD, a spokesperson for the Association of Dietetics of South Africa. Two tablespoons of peanut butter contain roughly:<ul><li>Potassium: 180.4 milligrams (mg) or almost 4% of the <a href="https://www.fda.gov/food/new-nutrition-facts-label/daily-value-new-nutrition-and-supplement-facts-labels#1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recommended daily </a>value (DV).

Magnesium regulates muscle and nerve function as well as blood sugar and blood pressure. </li></ul><h2>Choosing the right peanut butter </h2>Not all peanut butter is created equal. Therefore, look for peanut butter that doesn't contain added sugar or partially hydrogenated oils. Partially hydrogenated oils are also a source of <a href="https://www.fda.gov/food/food-additives-petitions/trans-fat" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trans fats</a> that can increase levels of bad cholesterol.You should start by looking at the ingredients list, which should only contain <a href="https://safetyservices.ucdavis.edu/units/occupational-health/health-well-being/nutrition/nutrition-corner-blog/aug-2018" target="_blank" rel="noopener">peanuts and some salt</a>, says <a href="https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/vasanti-malik/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vasanti Malik</a>, MD, an assistant professor at the University of Toronto.According to Malik, it's best to opt for a product where the sugar content is 5% or less of your daily value - which is about 25 grams per day for women and kids and 36 for men. You should also avoid peanut butter with more than <a href="https://cdn1.sph.harvard.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/84/2012/11/food_fun_and_family.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">300 mg of sodium</a> per serving<a href="https://cdn1.sph.harvard.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/84/2012/11/food_fun_and_family.pdf">.</a><h2>How to add peanut butter to your diet </h2>Because the standard serving size for peanut butter is two tablespoons - roughly the size of a golf ball - it can be easy to overindulge, says Tohan. But, portion control is an important factor in managing weight and blood sugar levels. According to Tohan, a good way to moderate your intake of peanut butter is to pair it with low-calorie and high-fiber foods like apples, which will keep you fuller for longer.Other healthy ways to include peanut butter in your diet are:<ul><li>Adding it to oatmeal or a smoothie</li><li><a href="https://health.gov/myhealthfinder/topics/everyday-healthy-living/nutrition/healthy-snacks-quick-tips-parents" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adding</a> it to celery with raisins</li><li>Spreading peanut butter on <a href="https://health.gov/myhealthfinder/topics/everyday-healthy-living/nutrition/healthy-snacks-quick-tips-parents" target="_blank" rel="noopener">whole-wheat bread, rice cakes, or apple slices</a></li><li><a href="https://www.maine.gov/dhhs/mecdc/population-health/odh/sugar-out-day/docs/TastySnacksforHealthyKids.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Substituting</a> peanut butter for full cream cheese or butter on toast and bagels</li></ul>However, be wary of unhealthy peanut butter-related snacks or meals with high amounts of added sugar and oils.

Is peanut butter good for you? How it can help you lose weight, manage blood sugar levels, and boost your protein intake

Expressing solidarity with the people of Lakshadweep, the <keyword id="28504" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kerala">Kerala</keyword> Legislative Assembly on Monday unanimously passed a <keyword id="6359987" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Resolution">resolution</keyword> demanding the recall of island administrator Praful Khoda Patel and requesting the immediate intervention of the Centre to protect the lives and livelihood of the islanders. With this, Kerala has become the first state in the country to come up with a resolution to support the people of the union territory over the recent developments. An archipelago located in the Arabian Sea, Lakshadweep is witnessing protests by local people for some days over the recent actions and administrative reforms being implemented by Patel. Chief Minister Pinarayi <keyword id="6388414" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="vijayan">Vijayan</keyword> moved the government resolution, the first such motion in the 15th <keyword id="144407" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="state-Assembly">state Assembly</keyword>, reminiscing the historic and cultural bond between Kerala and Lakshadweep and criticising the Centre for allegedly trying to destroy the natural democracy there. Stating that the future of Lakshadweep is a matter of concern, he said any attempt to undermine its unique culture and indigenous lifestyle is unacceptable. Anyone who upholds Constitutional values should register a strong disagreement against the actions of the administrator of Lakshadweep, the Chief Minister urged. Setting aside their political differences, members of the ruling CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front and the Congress- headed United Democratic Front unanimously backed the resolution, except some amendments suggested by the latter. The hard-hitting resolution allegedthat attempts were being made to impose "saffronagendas" and "corporate interests" by destroying the unique way of life of Lakshadweep people. The implementation of the agenda, rolled out in the name of reforms, began with the painting of coconut trees with saffron colour and it has now grown to the level of destroying the traditional habitat, life and natural relationships of the island dwellers, it alleged. Steps have been taken to bring in the Goonda Act in the island where the crime rate is exceptionally low, it said. Pointing out that the authorities also aimed at destroying their traditional livelihood of fishing, the resolution said tents, where the fishermen's boats and nets are kept, have been rampantly destroyed. Through the attempt to exclude beef, which is part of the natural diet of the people of the territory, the Sangh Parivar agenda of banning cow slaughter was being implemented through the backdoor, it alleged. Thus, the administrator has taken the lead in annihilating the indigenous life and culture of the people of a territory inch by inch, the brief resolution further charged. Criticising the Centre's act of giving the administrator special powers to intervene into the affairs of various government departments, Vijayan said it amounted to undermining the island's natural democracy by deploying officials of their choice. "The recent developments in Lakshadweep should be seen as a laboratory of the Sangh Parivar agenda. They are attempting to change the culture, language, lifestyle and food habits of people of the country in tune with their ideology," the Chief Minister alleged. Strong resistance should be raised against this bid to enslave people of a territory to "corporate interests and Hindutva politics", he said. Stating that the central government has the responsibility to ensure that the unique features of the union territory and the native people are well-preserved, the Left veteran said the administrator, who posed a challenge to this, should be stripped of his responsibilities. Opposition <keyword id="1575" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Congress">Congress</keyword> leader V D Satheesan backed the resolution and said the agenda, being implemented by Patel under the garb of reforms, should be thrown in the Arabian Sea. The Congress and Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) urged the government to directly criticise the BJP-NDA government at the Centre in the resolution.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>We compiled a list of the rarest foods around the world that you should try in your lifetime.</li><li>Try a spoonful of New Zealand's Mānuka honey, made from a flower which blooms for only 12 days.</li><li>Feast upon golden Almas caviar, sourced only from the Caspian Sea.</li></ul>From the hard to make to the hard to find to the potentially deadly to consume, we're taking a look at 18 of some of the most <keyword id="137136" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Rare">rare</keyword> foods around the world.Đông Tảo chicken Đông Tảo chicken, or dragon chickens, look like a bird wearing a pair of Uggs. But their oversized feet are the telltale feature of this rare bird. Đông Tảo chickens have a dark meat, with a color closer to red meat. In Vietnam, where these birds are bred, the birds are often eaten during the Vietnamese New Year, but need to pass high standards to be deemed worthy. Buyers look for a tall chicken that weighs around 5 kilograms with thick, red feet and shiny black feathers.Donkey cheese "A typical American cow produces about 28 liters of milk per day, compare that to the sole liter a single donkey generates in 24 hours, and donkey cheese already feels pretty exclusive. The milk is closer in nutritional properties to breast milk than other common varieties, and lacks enough of a key protein in cows milk to easily cultivate cheese, meaning the process to turn Donkeys milk into cheese is kept under lock and key. Super filling with a nutty, earthy flavor the cheese can sell for $500 for a single pound"Sea cucumber This giant ocean slug is a sea cucumber - a bottom feeder with a tubular shape that has no limbs and no eyes but a ton of monetary value. It can be found all over the world but is most prevalent in the Pacific Ocean. Mostly eaten in Asian cuisines, sea cucumbers are beloved for their thick, chewy bite that's full of protein and antioxidants but low in fat. The Japanese sea cucumber, full of red and orange spikes, can set you back $3,500 for a single kilo, a little more than 2 pounds.Ayam Cemani If you've never visited Indonesia, it's unlikely you've encountered this chicken: charcoal black from gizzard to feathers to feet. The Ayam Cemani, bred on the islands of Indonesia, has a dominant gene that makes the chicken appear black all the way down to its organs. Just one of these chickens could cost around $200, though due to fears of the spread of bird flu, the chicken isn't often cleared for export, which means outside the country, a bird could set you back thousands of dollars.Almas caviar While it's common knowledge that caviar is pretty rare, your bougiest caviar ain't got nothin' on this. Almas means diamond in Persian, and while all caviar comes from wild sturgeon, Almas caviar stands out from other fish eggs with a golden color derived from an extremely rare albino sturgeon that lives in the Caspian Sea. It's said to have a spongier texture, with a less salty but nuttier flavor than your average caviar.Saffron Saffron is the world's most <keyword id="6359333" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="expensive">expensive</keyword> spice, with a single pound setting you back $1,500 or more. Bringing it back to high school earth science, the spice comes from the stigma of a saffron crocus flower, or the part of a flower where pollen germinates. Since each flower grows only three stigmas, it takes 17,000 flowers grown on a quarter acre of land to make a single pound, probably making the price seem a little more reasonable.Matsutake mushroom Matsutake mushrooms are known as the king of mushrooms in Japan. In wild forests, these mushrooms are rare because they need really specific conditions to grow, and even then, the blossoming mushrooms are susceptible to becoming snacks for wildlife. Many say they're worth the hunt for their spicy, pungent aroma and woodsy, earthy flavor.Swallow's nest soup When you think of a bird's nest, you likely picture a mound of twigs and leaves. But swiftlets make their nests entirely of their own sticky saliva, crafting a hard, transparent mass to hatch their chicks. In the wild, the birds build their nests on dangerously high cave ledges, making harvesting nearly, but not quite, impossible. The nest is cooked into a gelatinous soup full of protein.Fugu Fugu, a type of puffer fish, have poisonous livers, eyes, and ovaries that, when not properly removed, are more lethal than cyanide if consumed, giving the fish a reputation as the most dangerous <keyword id="6181" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Food">food</keyword> on Earth. It's because of this toxicity that preparation of the fish is highly regulated by the government in Japan, where fugu is a considered a delicacy. Chefs train for years before taking an extensive exam just to earn a certification to serve fugu. When sliced into sashimi, fugu has a mild, fresh taste with a chewy texture.Yubari King melon This melon might look like your average cantaloupe, but it is so much more. In fact, one Yubari King melon sold for $14,500 in 2018. And although the melons are grown in temperature- controlled greenhouses for cultivation all year round, they're still pretty rare. That's thanks to the meticulous TLC farmers pay their crop through the entire growing process, where each melon tree is pruned of its crop down to a single fruit, which they even massage by hand to ensure perfection. If you're looking to taste one yourself, make some friends in high places, since Yubari King melons are typically purchased as gifts.Iberian ham Bred exclusively in the Iberian Peninsula of Spain and Portugal, roaming freely in cold, rocky oak forests, feeding off grains and acorns, lives the black Iberian pig. The most coveted part of the animal is the legs, which are buried in salt for 15 to 20 days and cured in stages over years before they're finally ready for sale. The finished legs are sliced wafer thin, making for a uniquely fatty, succulent bite of sweet, salty ham with a bit of a nutty flavor.White truffles Truffles in general are pretty rare, but white truffles take it to the next level. Prone to growing near the roots of hazelnut and oak tree trees in Italian mountains, truffles are wild fungus that require specially trained dogs or hogs to sniff out. A white Alba truffle lacks an outer shell, giving it a golden color with a knobby shape and a slightly garlicky, rich, woody and earthy flavor.Maple syrup We all know the excitement of thick, sugary syrup blanketing a stack of pancakes on a Sunday morning. So it may be a shock to hear that sugary goodness is often more than likely a blend of high-fructose corn syrup and extracts. 40% of the US's real, pure maple syrup is tapped from the trees of Vermont. And while you may be thinking, "A forest of trees, all this syrup, there's no way its so rare!" it takes 44 gallons of sap to make a single gallon of real maple syrup. Grade A syrup is the most delicious and expensive to produce, with its lighter golden color and accompanying delicate taste.Mānuka honey Mānuka is a flower native to New Zealand that blooms for only 12 days. After the bees do what bees do, Mānuka honey is available for harvest for a super short two to six week period, which is why honey from this particular flower represents about 1% of the honey in the world. It has a rich, earthy flavor and is thinner than honey you're likely used to.Icelandic salt Icelandic Salt From kosher to sea to table, salt is one of the most prevalent seasonings around the world, but not all salt is created equal. Pure Icelandic salt can set you back about $30 per pound, which is 30 times the price of common table salt. That's because this salt comes from one of the coldest, most remote regions of Iceland where its meticulously harvested and processed by hand, making it a favorite among some of the world's best restaurants.Parmesan cheese Like Champagne or Camembert, Parmesan cheese is a regulated food that can only be made in the small region for which the food is named. Parmesan hails from a part of northern Italy called Emilia-Romagna including a town called, you guessed it, Parma. With only 329 dairies certified to make this cheese in the region - and due to the strict regulations, that means the whole world - Parmesan can cost more than double the price of more common cheeses, like cheddar.Madagascar vanilla With rows of vanilla extract and flavoring in the grocery store spice isle, vanilla might not seem like a rarity, but you're less likely to come across real whole-bean Madagascar vanilla than you might think. In fact, this long pod is one of the most difficult plants to harvest in the world, with flowers that bloom for only one single day a year and need to be hand pollinated that same day before pods are harvested and cured for months. And if you're totally fine with vanilla extract, keep in mind a lot of the products on those shelves aren't real vanilla, because even that process is time intensive, needing pods to be soaked in clear alcohol for up to two years.Wasabi Wasabi might seem like a common enough item, but in reality, the side of green paste you get with your sushi likely isn't the real thing, but rather a blend of root vegetables from the same family, like horseradish and mustard. Real wasabi is one of the hardest plants to cultivate and maintain in the world, needing ultra specific water flow, sunlight, soil, and consistent temperatures to thrive. Even then, it takes about a year and a half to grow before it's harvested by hand and ground into a paste for an earthy, rich, and more floral flavor than the grocery store fare.So which rare foods do you want to try? Are there any we missed? Let us know in the comments below.
