Low-calorie and healthy desserts – which one should you choose?
Low-calorie, healthy desserts are the solution for all those who intend to go on a diet to lose weight or simply follow a healthier diet. Some of the delicacies that fall into this category are those with fruit. Cakes, tarts, skewers and sorbets are the most popular preparations but there are also chocolate and yogurt temptations. Excellent are most delicious vegan recipes without butter, whipped cream, milk and eggs, and contain fruit which is really great for your diet and well-being.
The "good rules" for sweet temptations that are good for your silhouette
To turn a traditional dessert into one that won’t sabotage your diet, you need to reduce the amount of white flour, which can be replaced with whole wheat flour, and also reduce the amount of baking powder.
Also butter, eggs and sugar are in the black book of those who are on a healthy diet. Butter and sugar can be replaced, respectively,with buttermilk and natural sweeteners, while the use of eggs can be limited just to whites. Choosing the right recipes enables you to savour healthy desserts. Here are two tasty and easy-to-make recipes.
Chocolate Cake

Among the many beautiful things that Mother Nature has given to us in all its magnificence is caffeine, which, however, belongs to that category of things that people like so much but...
The percentage of caffeine depends on the conjunction of certain variables, a series of factors that influence the entire process, from plantation up to the preparation of a cup of coffee, either at the café or in your home. It has been established that not all types of coffee contain the same amount. Even within the same variety of Arabica or Robusta the climatic conditions of each plantation can affect the original caffeine level and change it significantly. The treatments undergone by the crop in later stages also play a significant role. In coffee roasting, professionals define coffee as Dark Roasted or Light Roasted referring to the roast intensity, which can, to a minimum extent, affect the preservation and/or sublimation. Similarly, the grind size affects the extraction of the substances during the passage of water, resulting in higher or lower coffee strength.
But what happens when a variable amount of boiling water flows through ground coffee at a really high pressure? In other words, what are the effects on the quantity or, to be more exact, the volume, of the coffee?
In short coffee, there is less caffeine than in long coffee: the quantity is therefore directly proportional to the amount of water. An espresso ristretto is a lot stronger and its aroma is much more intense. However, since it contains considerably less water, often just a few drops, it releases a lower amount of substances. On the other hand, a greater amount of water is used to make long coffee; therefore, the quantity of caffeine extracted is a lot higher. Its density is lower but the stimulating effects on our body are considerably greater.
Before science and technology supported the free will of coffeeholics like us, the long coffee-short coffee dilemma was just the position taken by two different schools of thought, so confused and fickle that most of the times we merged and blended in unison as De Gustibus. The saying ‘Tell me which coffee you drink and I'll tell you who you are’ has never really worked.
To avoid any negative effects on our body and make our family doctor happy you just have to make a few simple calculations, adjust the number of cups and the problem’s solved. As long as you don’t go below the minimum threshold for survival. For some of us, giving up a good cup of coffee, whether short or long, is tantalising. Better a punch in the eye. It’s as if you were told that your lifelong partner - the one you passionately wooed, conquered and have always loved, the one you wish to spend the rest of your days with - is not good looking.

What you probably don’t know is that you can also grow it in your home by following a few simple rules. Here they are. The Coffea Arabica and Coffea Robusta varieties are shrubs that in the tropical belt can grow up to 8 metres high. Nevertheless, you can also grow them in a vase in your home where they will reach a maximum height of 2 metres, with a slender stem and curved, decorative foliage. This evergreen plant is easy to grow but, unfortunately, in your home, it will probably not produce those beautiful white flowers resembling Orange Blossoms that form when grown outdoors. Here are 7 things you will need to cultivate coffee in your home:- A coffee seed or, even better, a coffee seedling
- A large vase
- Universal fertiliser
- Rich soil with acidic pH
- Expanded clay
- Pesticide spray
- Water
Planting coffee
Spring is the season in which it will be easier to find coffee seedlings in nurseries. If you decide to “adopt” one, use a vase with a diameter and depth of at least 40cm to make sure the roots have adequate room to grow. It is essential to use fresh soil, rich in organic matter, never dry, and it is also important to prevent rotting/strong> causing decay of the plant. Create a thick layer at the bottom for drainage. You can place potsherds upside down on top of the drainage holes at the bottom of the vase. Then add a thick layer of expanded clay and finally the soil.The best location
Coffea Arabica or Robusta shrubs require a well-lit environment with medium-high temperatures ranging between 18 and 21°C (64-70°F), away from direct sunlight, central heating and draughts. The ideal position is near a window facing south or west, screened with a light curtain in summer. Make sure it is not too close to the radiator and move it to a sheltered place when you open the window, to protect it from rapid changes in temperature. Another very important rule to follow is to avoid growing coffee in a particularly humid room with little ventilation. The hot, stagnant air would encourage the development of pests that are difficult to eradicate. In summer, when temperatures don’t fall below 18°C (64°F), you can move your plant outdoors, in a location sheltered from draughts and direct sunlight.Watering
Between March and November, remember to water your plant twice a week with rainwater or purified water, using a fertiliser rich in potassium every fifteen days. During the colder months, the plant will require a more sporadic watering schedule. If you decide to use a saucer, always remember to remove the water after a few minutes to prevent root rot.

A beverage inscribed in the Cultural Heritage of Humanity
According to tradition, Turkish coffee is served in small coffee cups without handles. In Turkey, Greece and great part of the Arabic world it is believed that the powder settling on the bottom of the cups can be used for fortune telling. The ritual of coffee reading can tell what the future holds for us. Future events in several aspects of life are predicted based on the reading and interpretation of the patterns made by the powder. This beverage has been inscribed on the Representative List of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity and has a museum dedicated to it in Istanbul. There you can discover all the secrets to making a perfect cup of Turkish coffee, retrace the main stages of its history and try your hand at preparing it, under the supervision of the staff of the Turkish and Islamic Arts Museum.
