Hi all,
Here are some random facts I just found out about.
See which ones you already know!
1. Scurvy has been around for a long time, even in the days of Christopher Columbus and other seafaring explorers. Our government during WWII asked the Florida Citrus Commission to find a way to ship vitamin C packed juice overseas to prevent the disease from affecting our troops. Frozen concentrate was born. Before then orange juice was just a seasonal treat. Just asked those in their senior years about getting oranges in their Christmas stockings.
2. There are more than 100 lighthouses along Lake Michigan, but not all are active.
3. Walnuts were traded along the Silk Road for centuries. They arrived in the U.S. in the 1700's. An ounce will give you 20% of your daily allowance of B6.
4. According to the U.S. Census, only 9% of Americans are bilingual compared to 65% in the rest of the world.
