Quinoa Beet Salad Ingredients

To me, beets taste like garden dirt laced with a little bit of sugar. Interestingly, there is validity to that perception. Beets contain a naturally-occurring compound called geosmin, and geosmin gives beets their dirt-like . . . er. . . earthy flavour.

The Blue Monday Myth – RoSPA Workplace Safety Blog

‘Blue Monday’ may not be supported by hard evidence, but depression and other mental health issues are a real concern in the workplace.

Before 2005 no-one talked about Blue Monday.
