Defacto gets a new credit facility to provide instant financing to small companies

French startup Defacto has closed a new securitization fund that will be used to provide short-term loans to small and medium enterprises via an embedded, API-first approach.

Quinoa Beet Salad – JennifersKitchen

Let me be very clear. I do not like beets. I’ve spent over fifty years disliking beets. I’ve tried them boiled (gag-inducing), roasted (almost tolerable, but no), raw (the additional chewing required just prolongs the misery), and picked (where’s the bathroom?). To me, beets taste like garden dirt laced with a little bit of sugar. Interestingly, there is validity to that perception. Beets contain a naturally-occurring compound called geosmin, and geosmin gives beets their dirt-like . . . er. . . earthy flavour. Some people like this earthy flavor. I’m not one of them.

Here are some of the key points verbatim: Aspects of human anatomy, digestion, and metabolism diverged from other primates, indicating evolutionary reliability on, and compatibility with, substantial meat intake.

Recipe: Peggy’s Indian Cabbage | Diabetic Mediterranean Diet

May 20, 2023 · 8:10 AM From Peggy at Buttoni’s Low-Carb Recipes: If you think you don’t like cabbage (like my husband) you have GOT to try this recipe! You’ll swear you don’t eat cabbage!! No cabbage odor or strong taste whatsoever to this dish! It is a delightfully crunchy side dish with grilled Tandoori Chicken or pork chops! I order my nigella seeds (black onion seeds or how about seed) on-line, but you may be lucky to have a spice supplier where you live. I would not recommend omitting them, as you will miss out on a flavor layer…

Studies show that most of the arsenic in the American diet comes from meat, milk, poultry, pork, eggs and seafood. Poultry is the worst offender. Some chickens exceed the EPA safety limit for arsenic by 2,000%. Meat and poultry are high in arsenic because…
