EDEN FOODS: Bonito Flakes, 1.05 oz (Case of 2)Bonito (pronounced Bo NEE toe) has been a staple in the Japanese diet for centuries. According to the School of Marine Sciences at the University of Miami, the scientific name of bonito or skipjack tuna is Katsuwonus pelamis. In Japan, it is known as katsuo. About 500 years ago it was discovered that proper drying could preserve bonito so that it could be stored indefinitely in a cool, dry, and dark environment. EDEN Bonito Flakes still employ this

Bonito (pronounced Bo NEE toe) has been a staple in the Japanese diet for centuries. According to the School of Marine Sciences at the University of Miami, the scientific name of bonito or skipjack tuna is Katsuwonus pelamis. In Japan, it is known as katsuo.About 500 years ago it was discovered that proper drying could preserve bonito so that it could be stored indefinitely in a cool, dry, and dark environment. EDEN Bonito Flakes still employ this ancient manner of careful preparation. First, the best quality bonito fillets are steamed and hung outside in the shade to air dry. The fillets are then brought inside and stored in a dark room. They are removed and placed outside to dry again. The storing and drying process is repeated three times. When completely dry, the fillets become hard and resemble hardwood. To produce bonito flakes or 'katsuo boshi', the hard fillets are shaved over a knifed box that looks much like a carpenter's plane. Shaving the bonito produces long, pinkish-tan curls or flakes. The flakes are then packed and shipped to Eden.EDEN Bonito Flakes are made from the best quality authentic skipjack tuna fillets. The Japanese judge the quality of fish by whether it can be eaten raw as sashimi. The real bonito or 'katsuo' used in EDEN Bonito Flakes is of sashimi quality. Many commercial producers sell bonito flakes made from bullet mackerel or bullet tuna called 'soda katsuo'. It's cheaper and not considered sashimi quality. EDEN Bonito Flakes are made in the traditional manner that has been used for 500 years. No artificial coloring agents, chemicals, or preservatives are used in any stage of their production.Bonito flakes are used to create a variety of soup stocks called 'dashi'. The stock is strained to remove the tough fibrous flakes and used to create a variety of delicious and nourishing soups, stews, and sauces. EDEN Bonito Flakes are quick and easy to use to prepare a variety of soup stocks. Simply bring 5 cups of water to a boil, add a half cup of bonito flakes and immediately remove from the flame. Strain out the bonito flakes and discard. Ingredients such as kombu, shiitake mushroom, and vegetables can be added to bonito stock to create variety in flavor and nutrition. Bonito stock is especially delicious when used to make hardy miso soup, noodle broth, or French onion soup. It is also delicious in scalloped potatoes and baked beans instead of meat, giving the dish a delightful smoked flavor - not fishy at all. It can also be used to create dip sauces and gravies. Bonito also makes an excellent topping for pizza (broil briefly to crisp, a tasty condiment).

Not as good as the Brown bear brown bear, but my kids love this book
Format: Board book
This book is a sequel to Brown Bear Brown bear and it is a visually appealing book that my kids love. My one complaint is that this book is all about what you hear, but they used many animals that people don't know what sounds they make. I have looked up how flamingos flute on YouTube and this is not a sound I can replicate. Don't make the sounds up either unless everyone who reads to your kids is in on your idea of what zebras sound like. Trust me, your toddler will notice. Aside from that flaw, the book is one my kids ask for again and again and this is in fact my second copy of this book, the first one was loved to death.

⭐ Eco-Friendly and Great Quality Cotton Swabs 🤍✨
These Q-tips cotton swabs are excellent quality and very reliable. I love that they’re made with biodegradable paper sticks, which makes them a more eco-friendly option. The cotton is soft yet secure, and they work perfectly for beauty, cleaning, and everyday use. With 500 in the pack, you get a great quantity for the price. Definitely a staple I always keep on hand 😊✨
