Don’t discard those fruit peels, seeds … Aside from adding fiber, they decrease eggs, oil in cupcakes. So says a Mexican start-up. Fiber binds ingredients and reduced egg flavor ups vanilla, chocolate. Olé! http://ift.tt/1A512Jl

Flavor pairing makes for happy mouths … Sharing foods with “like” chemical compounds produces slam-bam flavorful experiences, like pork liver and jasmine, chocolate and caviar, strawberry and coriander, banana and cloves, salmon and licorice, potato and coffee, cocoa and cauliflower and oysters and passion fruit. “Dislike” compositions may wreak havoc. Shows there’s more to eating than chowing down. http://ift.tt/1a9yKIG

An interesting twist on mac & cheese … PROTEIN! Nine grams per serving (about one cup), in fact. That’s roughly the equivalent of ½ cup peanuts, 1 ounce beef, 1 chicken thigh or 1 cup milk or yogurt. Carb avoiders take note. http://ift.tt/17lqMKC

Move over soy … Almond “milk”, cashew beverages on rise—walnut, too in China. Cashew beverages boast “more milk-like creaminess, taste, lower calories and fat”. May be tasty, but check out the bragging rights. Compare/contrast shortfalls-especially protein, calcium, vitamin D. http://ift.tt/1zjY58w

Hard to keep straight … Paleo Diet incantations now plant-based, grain- and sugar-free and unprocessed. Out with “hardcore, heavy meat, unsustainable and unattainable”. Stay tuned for next charmers. http://ift.tt/1E2pHCv

Rocky Mountain High … Flavor increases at high altitude, new research concludes. Aroma, color, flavor, moisture, nutritional value preserved. May be from lower boiling point of water and lower pressure. Sous-vide and cook-vide use lower pressure, too, but cooking at high altitudes is more fun. http://ift.tt/1IQirQE

Nothing like a little heat to battle obesity … Seems dietary capsaicin, the main active compound in chili peppers responsible for pungency, increases metabolic activity and energy expenditure. That’s a mouthful for suppresses obesity—but in mice. Rats. http://ift.tt/1AQgNdq

Fat taste not texture? Fat may be sixth basic taste alongside sour, sweet, salty, bitter and umami. Less well defined than sweetness or saltiness. Sometimes only perceptible with aroma. Possible implications for food consumption and obesity. What a mouthful! Mouthfeel? http://ift.tt/1xzKNTx
