80% of all antibiotics sold in US are for animals. We eat and become antibiotic resistant. 700K die worldwide each year from antibiotic-resistant infections. To aid cherry tomato slicing, put them between two plastic lids and run a long, sharp knife through all of them at once!
Two marshmallows stored with brown sugar help keep the sugar soft. For a cheap, leak free watering can, punch several holes in the cap of a used milk bottle. A large muffin tin will keep stuffed peppers upright in the oven. An apple in the bag prevents potatoes from budding.
A teaspoon of baking soda in the water when hard-boiling eggs makes for easy peeling. To determine whether eggs are fresh, put them in a bowl of water. Fresh eggs sink. Stale eggs float. WD-40 removes crayon marks from just about any surface!
For clean, germ-free wooden chopping boards, sprinkle on a handful of Kosher salt and rub the board with half a lemon. To easily sharpen scissors, cut through sandpaper. Rubber bands help easily open a jar, One around the jar lid and another around the middle of the glass provide friction to prevent your hands from slipping.
To prevent eyes from watering while chopping onions, turn on a fan blowing away from you or wipe the chopping board with white vinegar (doesn't affect the taste of the onions). Two denture cleaning tablets in the toilet bowl overnight clean off stubborn stains. Rubbing white chalk on grease stained clothing absorbs the grease which is then washed away in the rinse cycle.
Orange tomatoes provide more health benefits than red oranges. One glass of orange tomato juice equals the health benefits as eight glasses of red tomato juice.
At least half of all vegetable plant sugars will be given to supporting microbes (mycorrhizae).
