9) Potatoes: FACT: Potatoes, in France, were fed to pigs before being consumed by the Royalty.

Potatoes have been a part of our diet since the beginning of time. However, there were places which were devoid of the taste of potatoes. The French royalty used to feed raw potatoes to pigs before beginning to consume themselves. This was so because the royalty considered potatoes an unclean food. It was by accident that the fantastic taste of potatoes was discovered by the French royalty. The head cook of the French royalty had accidently burnt the potatoes, along with other vegetables, and had to serve the same to the King and the Queen. The cook was so sure that his head would be on the chopping block, because of this disaster, that he had almost quit. However, the royal folks were so impressed with his disastrous, yet, delectable dish, that they rewarded him handsomely.

10) Tender Coconut Water: FACT: Tender Coconut Water maybe used in emergencies as a  blood plasma substitue.

Coconut water can be used for various medical purposes, one of which is intravenous rehydration. A report of 2000  states how a stroke patient, in the Solomon Islands, who was too sick to drink or use a nasal tube but was successfully rehydrated with a tender coconut-water IV, when no other fluids could be found. Emergency coconut IVs were also used by the British and Japanese during World War II and they have been clinically tested on humans many times to see their tolerance level on humans. However, only coconut water, the liquid of a young coconut, is used and not coconut milk. Coconut water cannot actually replace blood plasma, as indicated by a chemical analysis, which shows that it is closer in constitution to intracellular fluid. Tender coconut water is usually sterile and, when mixed with plasma, it acts as a saline solution.
