| People have been marinating their food for thousands of years.
The French began marinating their food in the 1300s and Mexicans have used papaya to tenderize their meat well before Columbus’s time. Here in North America, the first bottled marinades were used in the 1800s or even earlier. And if you have ever wondered where the word marinate comes from and its meaning, it can be traced back to a derivative from the French word “mariner” meaning to pickle in brine. The French word “mariner” comes from the Latin “marinus” meaning of the sea. Here are some more interesting reasons why you should marinate: 🔷 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. 🔷 Food should always be marinated in the refrigerator for safety. In fact, marinades and dry rubs are actually good for you 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.
