Hello readers! Another 2 weeks before the last reflective. Haha, I'm really waiting for it.

This week theme is... I don't know. Serious. At first, I planned to write about dessert, but I only wrote about dessert on the first post in this week. The rest is just the facts about something. Can I say the theme of this week is about fact of food. Let's make it like that. Lol.

Strawberry

Strawberry is cultivated worldwide for its fruit. This fruit is widely appreciated for its characteristic aroma, bright red color, juicy texture, and sweetness. It is consumed in large quantities, either fresh or in such prepared foods as preserves,  fruitjuice and milkshakes. Artificial strawberry flavorings and aromas are also widely used in many products like lip gloss, candy, hand sanitizers, perfume, and many others. The garden strawberry was first bred in Brittany, France, in the 1750s via a cross of Fragaria virginiana from eastern North America and Fragarua chiloensis, which was brought from Chile by Amédée-François Frézier in 1714. Cultivars of Fragaria ×ananassa have replaced, in commercial production, the woodland strawberry (Fragaria verga), which was the first strawberry species cultivated in the early 17th century. Technically, the strawberry is an aggregate accessory fruit, meaning that the fleshy part is derived not from the plant's ovaries but from the receptacle that holds the ovaries. Each apparent "seed" on the outside of the fruit is actually one of the ovaries of the flower, with a seed inside it.

In addition to flour, doughnuts may also include such ingredients as water, leavening, eggs, milk, sugar, oil, shortening, natural flavors or artificial flavors.

Many people love eating pudding because of the sweet taste and the thickness. But as the world has changed, pudding has many new variations. Pudding is not only made from seaweeds, but also from gelatine. The texture of the pudding that is made from gelatine sometimes is chewier than the pudding which is made from seaweeds.  There are some recipes that puddings are mixed with staple food too, like rice, bread and noodle. It's quite strange, but many people love to eat those kind of puddings.
