Which fruit has the highest production volume in the world?
It might be your favorite fruit! Here’s a trivia quiz: Which fruit has the highest harvest volume in the world? Among various fruits, the one with the largest harvest is grapes! This may come as a surprise to many, but grapes are used widely around the world—for wine, juice, raisins, and more.
There are also more varieties you can eat with the skin, and they’re loved by both children and adults.
Not needing to peel them and being able to eat them with one hand is another appealing point.
What are the two nutrients needed for strong bones?
As we get older, we tend to become more concerned about bone strength, and many people want to keep their bones as strong as possible.
So, what are the two nutrients needed to strengthen bones? One of them is obvious because it always comes up in discussions about bones, but the other might be less straightforward.
It’s easier to think of it not so much as a component of bones, but as something essential for overall health.
The answer is calcium and vitamin D—vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium into the bones.
Which prefecture is the smallest in Japan?
Do you know which prefecture in Japan has the smallest area? The answer is Kagawa.
Some older people might answer “Osaka Prefecture.” In fact, there was a time when Osaka Prefecture was considered the smallest in Japan.
Until 1978, it was Osaka; after that, Kagawa became the smallest.
Some people may think Osaka got larger due to land reclamation for Kansai International Airport.
However, the major factor was a change in 1988 to the topographic maps of the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan, which serve as the basis for calculating area.
What is the fifth taste humans can perceive besides sweetness, saltiness, sourness, and bitterness?
A quiz that makes sense when you think about it! Here’s a trivia question: Humans perceive five basic tastes—sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and what’s the last one? The correct answer is “umami.” It’s found in kombu (kelp), katsuobushi (bonito flakes), tomatoes, and cheese, and it brings out deep richness in dishes.
This “umami” isn’t as widely known as you might think—did you know about it? It’s a fun bit of trivia to remember to enjoy food even more.
By choosing ingredients with umami in mind, you can make your cooking even more delicious!
