🥔 1. Potatoes Were Once a Treasure!
In the 18th century, potatoes were so valuable in France that they were guarded like gold. Today, they’re one of the most affordable and versatile foods—perfect for our kitchen meals.
🍎 2. An Apple a Day… Really Helps!
Apples aren’t just sweet snacks—they’re full of fiber and antioxidants. Fun fact: the average apple has about 10,000 different flavors of aroma compounds!
🍞 3. Bread is Older Than Writing!
Humans have been baking bread for over 14,000 years, long before written language was invented. No wonder breaking bread is such a powerful symbol of togetherness.
🍲 4. Soup Saves the Day!
Did you know soup is one of the easiest ways to fight food waste? By combining leftover veggies, grains, and spices, you can make a nourishing meal—something we practice every week at Cornerstone.
