Why does bread smells so irrestible when baking ??

 We will look at what's happening imside the oven  ??!!

When bread bakes at around 140 degree Celsius, sugars and proteins in flour starts reacting.......

Result   : Toasty, nutty caramel smell !!!!

When the sugar in the dough breaks, we get sweet "bakery " smell.

Yeast eats sugar and ejects alcoholic compounds. These compounds smell fruity, boozy and warm.

This also gives " fresh bread " smell.

Warm air coming out of hot bread can travel long to reach our nostrils. Cold bread don't smell.

Our brains are wired to this smell , thinking that food is arrived and it can be eaten !!!

How do trees make it rain ??

 Trees help make rain in 3 simple steps  ----

1.  Trees drink and " sweat  "

               Tree roots suck up water from ground. Leaves release the water into air.

                This is transpiration.

2.  This water makes clouds

                 Water vapour raises up and gets cold. It turn's into tiny water droplets which is cloud.

3.  Forests recycle the rain

                 In big forests, trees put so much water in the air that the wind carries it and it again rains down !!!

No trees  =  Less water in air  =  Less rain

That's why cutting down big forests can cause droughts far away.
