GOODNESS OF ICE-CREAM

Goodness of ice-cream
Come summer and one of the first things that comes to mind to

beat the heat is ice-cream. We all love ice-cream.

Even those who are a bit on the heavy side and watch

their weight don’t mind sneaking into an ice-cream par

lour once in a while. Enjoying the sweat, smooth and

refreshingly cold ice-cream that melts easily on the

tongue is one of the greatest pleasures in life.
I find different hues of ice-cream in equally temping

flavors very irresistible.

In the past it was eaten only during the summers, but now

you will not find it strange to see people licking ice-

cream all the year round. Ice-cream first originated in the

orient. Marco polo, the great Italian traveler, first saw

people eating in china and took it from there to Italy.

From Italy it was carried to France, where it became very

popular with the rich. They even made an effort to keep

the recopies secrete from the common people. But, the

common people learned about the new delicious food and

ice-cream became popular with everyone soon it spread

all over the world.

The first factory to manufacture ice-cream was started in Baltimore Maryland in 1885. How ever the proper development of the ice-cream business started with
advancements in refrigeration. The basis of ice-cream is
cream , milk, sugar and sometimes eggs. Strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, berries, and nuts are added as flavor. The most popular flavors are chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. A small amount of gelatin is used in order to retain the smoothness by preventing the format ion of crystals.

When you eat a third of a pint of vanilla ice-cream, you

get about as much calcium, protein and vitamin b as you

get from half a cup of milk. So the next time when you

are realizing the creamy goodness of your favorites

flavors of ice-cream, and someone comes and tells you

not to have too much ice-cream ,you can just explain just

how healthy and delicious it is!
