💡 What's interesting

The practice of infusing foods with tea is a sophisticated technique that bridges culinary and beverage traditions, using tea not just as a drink but as a flavoring agent. Nutritionally, it can enhance the antioxidant profile of the salad, as tea is rich in polyphenols like catechins, which may complement the nutrients found in the fruit.
