Food Wars!: I Became a Fantasy Ingredient Supplier

OMG!

The taste buds that have just been washed.

It's almost a religious act to transmit this message to the brain.

All her senses were aroused, so much so that Erina, who possessed the tongue of God, couldn't help but let out a few soft moans.

These incredibly sweet, startling apples are truly a pure gift from nature!

……

"what!"

Swallowed.

Erina, regaining her senses, suddenly screamed in terror.

She raised her head, and her body felt a tingling, numb sensation, as if all the bones in her body had been removed.

"No...don't..."

Finally, Erina felt her consciousness becoming increasingly blurred.

Her breathing became rapid, like a butterfly struggling in the wind, each breath filled with urgency and panic.

Her face flushed rapidly, and her previously calm and elegant demeanor vanished, replaced by an uncontrollable urge:

excitement!

……

"Miss, are you okay?"

Hisako stared at Erina, noticing her "ahegao" expression as she was startled by the smell of the apple, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"fine!"

"You don't have to worry about me."

Erina blinked repeatedly, then softly hummed, "I just didn't expect that the taste of this startling apple would surpass all the sweetest fruits in the world!"

After saying that, she continued to stare at the startled apple in her hand, which she had taken a small bite out of, and fell into deep thought.

She has eaten many kinds of fruit in her life.

She particularly favors durian. Despite its somewhat pungent smell, its sticky texture and unique pungent aroma conceal a high sugar content, reportedly exceeding 30%.

Among all durian varieties, the Musang King durian from Malaysia is the sweetest.

Oh!

And jackfruit.

It contains about 26% sugar, and its sweet taste is also quite sweet.

……

"Fei Sha."

"Let me ask you a question: Which apple variety is the crispest, sweetest, and most crunchy?"

After gathering her thoughts, Erina turned to Hisako, who was still munching on the startled apple, and asked.

"I don't know."

"All I know is that this 'startled apple' is definitely the best and sweetest apple I've ever eaten."

Hisako paused for a moment, then answered.

"The new series of apples developed by Northwest Agriculture and Forestry of China, Baishui Ruixue Apples, has a measured sweetness of 17 to 18%. A sweetness of over 18% is considered honey sweet, and a sweetness of over 22% is considered cloyingly sweet."

"However, although the Baishui Ruixue apples are quite juicy, the flesh is rather tough and chewy, and they don't have much of an apple flavor."

"Therefore, the most perfect apple variety in my mind is the Luochuan apple!"

"It contains about 85% water, 16.2% sugar, and 0.38%–0.63% malic acid..."

"So."

"Guess it."

"How sweet is this startled apple?"

……

As a personal secretary.

Hisako doesn't have the same "God Tongue" ability as Erina, so she can't analyze the quality of each ingredient through taste!

However, she was, after all, an excellent medicinal cuisine chef, so she savored the taste carefully.

"These startled apples are especially cloyingly sweet."

"I think the sweetness level should be around 30... no, 50%!"

After much deliberation, Hisako gave what she considered the most perfect answer.

"Do not."

"you are wrong."

"Its sweetness is over 80%, and its malic acid content is between 0.78% and 0.92%..."

Erina, as it is said.

"What? A sweetness level of over 80%? That would make it the sweetest apple in the world! No, no, it's not even the sweetest fruit!"

Hisako was so shocked by this that she was speechless.

Apples have a moderate sugar content compared to other fruits.

In comparison, durian and lychee have a sugar content of over 20%, but a single apple can have about four times the sugar content of a durian!

This shocking apple, which completely overturned the biology textbook, made her wonder:

Did they come from another world?

……

"Doesn't it seem bizarre?"

Erina raised an eyebrow, her eyes filled with amazement.

"Leaving aside its bizarre appearance and vivid, anthropomorphic expressions."

"The sweetness alone is enough to make people gasp, but strangely enough, it doesn't taste nauseatingly sweet. Instead, it has a unique flavor."

As Hisako listened quietly to Erina's description, she involuntarily fell into deep thought.

indeed.

This startled apple.

There are too many unbelievable things about him.

From a medical and nutritional perspective, excessive sugar intake is not a good thing.

When too much sugar is ingested, blood sugar levels spike rapidly, like riding a rollercoaster, which stimulates the secretion of large amounts of insulin.

This can lead to fluctuations in blood sugar, affecting the normal blood and oxygen supply to the brain, and ultimately causing problems such as headaches and high blood sugar!

Follow this logic.

Apples with a sugar content of over 80% are a real "sweet trap."

Generally speaking, after just a few bites, your body should be sounding the alarm and experiencing various uncomfortable symptoms.

however.

Reality, however, is quite different from theory.

Hisako Shinoto recalls the strange feeling she had when she tasted the startled apple.

As the fruit pulp melted in her mouth and sweet juice overflowed, she felt a warm current slowly coursing through her body.

Wherever this warm current went, it seemed to carry away all fatigue and weakness, filling the whole body with strength. The person became refreshed and energetic, as if reborn.

half an hour.

Erina sighed.

"Jewel Flesh and Frightening Apples—we still know far too little about these so-called fantasy ingredients!"

“That’s right.”

"If you don't see it with your own eyes, taste it yourself."

"I find it hard to believe that such amazing ingredients exist in this world."

Hisako nodded and said.

Meanwhile, Erina, though filled with confusion, was now successfully whetting her appetite with the delicious taste of the startled apple.

Therefore, she stopped thinking about it and focused on munching on the frightened apple.
