| The French began marinating their food in the 1300s, and the Mexicans have used papaya to tenderize their meat since before Columbus’s time.
In North America, bottled marinades were used in the 1800s or even earlier. If you’ve ever wondered, the word marinate is directly derived from the French word “mariner” meaning to pickle in brine. The French word “mariner” comes from the Latin “marinus” meaning of the sea. Marinating refers to a process of preparing food before it is cooked by putting it in a mixture of flavourings called a marinade. 🔷 Marinades are most commonly used for fish, meat and vegetables. 🔷 When food is marinated, its flavour is intensified and the meat or fish becomes more tender. 🔷 The longer a food is allowed to marinate, the more flavour it will absorb. 🔷 And remember food should always be marinated in the refrigerator for safety. In fact, marinades and dry rubs are a good thing because they have been shown to help reduce the formation of cancer-causing compounds called heterocyclic amines (HCAs). Any meat, poultry or fish that is cooked at a high temperature, especially to the point of well-done or charred, can develop these compounds. 🔷 So, it’s not only healthier to marinate your food but it also provides intensified flavour.
