The minute is a unit of measurement, unit of time usually equal to (the first sexagesimal fraction) of an hour, or 60 seconds. In the Coordinated Universal Time, UTC time standard, a minute on rare occasions has 61 seconds, a consequence of leap seconds (there is a provision to insert a negative leap second, which would result in a 59-second minute, but this has never happened in more than 40 years under this system). Although not an SI unit, the minute is accepted for use with SI units. The SI symbol for ''minute'' or ''minutes'' is min (without a dot). The prime symbol is also sometimes used informally to denote minutes of time. History Al-Biruni first subdivided the hour sexagesimally into minutes, seconds, thirds and fourths in 1000 CE while discussing Jewish months. Historically, the word "minute" comes from the Latin ''pars minuta prima'', meaning "first small part".

Instant Rice
Instant rice is a product in which white rice is partially precooked, dehydrated, and repackaged in dried form similar in appearance to regular white rice. That process allows the product to be later cooked as if it were normal rice but with a typical cooking time of 5 minutes, compared to the 20-30 minute preparation time for white rice (or yet longer for brown rice). This process was invented by Ataullah K. Ozai‐Durrani in 1939 and mass marketed by General Foods starting in 1946 as Minute Rice, a brand which continues until this day. This is not to be confused with pre-cooked (but not dehydrated) "micro-wave" ready rice which is fully cooked and ready to eat, normally after placing the sealed product in a microwave oven, requiring as little as 1 minute to heat a single portion. Another distinct product is parboiled rice, also known as "converted" rice, a term trademarked for what was long sold as Uncle Ben's converted rice. However unlike the pre-cooking of instant rice in o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Food is any substance consumed by an organism for nutritional support. Food is usually of plant, animal, or fungal origin, and contains essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals. The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism's cells to provide energy, maintain life, or stimulate growth. Different species of animals have different feeding behaviours that satisfy the needs of their unique metabolisms, often evolved to fill a specific ecological niche within specific geographical contexts. Omnivorous humans are highly adaptable and have adapted to obtain food in many different ecosystems. The majority of the food energy required is supplied by the industrial food industry, which produces food with intensive agriculture and distributes it through complex food processing and food distribution systems. This system of conventional agriculture relies heavily on fossil fuels, which means that the food and agric ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
