Yemas De Santa Teresa
Yemas de Santa Teresa (en: Yolks of Saint Teresa) or ''Yemas de Ávila'' (en: Yolks of Ávila) is a pastry that is identified with the Spanish province of Ávila. Its fame has spread across the country and they can be bought throughout Spain but typically they are a souvenir connected with the city of Ávila. They are very popular for their distinctive look: small orange balls served in a white confectionery paper and are made to honor Teresa of Ávila. A possible derivative known as '' yema'' is also a popular delicacy in the Philippines, a former colony of Spain. However, they are commonly made as small pyramids or balls and sold as confectioneries rather than pastries. History The origin of the pastry is uncertain but there are several opinions where it comes from. One theory assumes that it was a pastry shop in the Medieval Ages in Andalusia called "Flor de Castilla" that first sold a pastry under the name "Yemas de Santa Teresa".

Yema (candy)
''Yema'' is a sweet custard confectionery from the Philippines. It is made with egg yolks, milk, and sugar. The name ''yema'' is from Spanish language, Spanish for "egg yolk". Like other egg yolk-based Filipino_cuisine#Desserts, Filipino desserts, it is believed that ''yema'' originated from early Spanish construction materials. During the History of the Philippines (1521–1898), Spanish colonization of the Philippines, egg whites mixed with quicklime and eggshells were used as a type of Mortar_(masonry), mortar to hold stone walls together. Filipinos reused the discarded egg yolks into various dishes. Among them is ''yema'', which is possibly based on the Spanish pastry ''Yemas de Santa Teresa''. Yemas were originally made with only egg yolks and sugar, heated and stirred until the consistency is thick. They are then shaped into small balls or pyramids and covered in white sugar. Milk (or condensed milk) later became part of the recipe (probably during the History of the Philip ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Copper
Copper is a chemical element with the symbol Cu (from la, cuprum) and atomic number 29. It is a soft, malleable, and ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. A freshly exposed surface of pure copper has a pinkish-orange color. Copper is used as a conductor of heat and electricity, as a building material, and as a constituent of various metal alloys, such as sterling silver used in jewelry, cupronickel used to make marine hardware and coins, and constantan used in strain gauges and thermocouples for temperature measurement. Copper is one of the few metals that can occur in nature in a directly usable metallic form ( native metals). This led to very early human use in several regions, from circa 8000 BC. Thousands of years later, it was the first metal to be smelted from sulfide ores, circa 5000 BC; the first metal to be cast into a shape in a mold, c. 4000 BC; and the first metal to be purposely alloyed with another metal, tin, to create ...

Egg Yolk
Among animals which produce eggs, the yolk (; also known as the vitellus) is the nutrient-bearing portion of the egg whose primary function is to supply food for the development of the embryo. Some types of egg contain no yolk, for example because they are laid in situations where the food supply is sufficient (such as in the body of the host of a parasitoid) or because the embryo develops in the parent's body, which supplies the food, usually through a placenta. Reproductive systems in which the mother's body supplies the embryo directly are said to be matrotrophic; those in which the embryo is supplied by yolk are said to be lecithotrophic. In many species, such as all birds, and most reptiles and insects, the yolk takes the form of a special storage organ constructed in the reproductive tract of the mother. In many other animals, especially very small species such as some fish and invertebrates, the yolk material is not in a special organ, but inside the egg cell. As sto ...

Teresa Of Ávila
Teresa of Ávila, OCD (born Teresa Sánchez de Cepeda y Ahumada; 28 March 15154 or 15 October 1582), also called Saint Teresa of Jesus, was a Spanish Carmelite nun and prominent Spanish mystic and religious reformer. Active during the Counter-Reformation, Teresa became the central figure of a movement of spiritual and monastic renewal, reforming the Carmelite Orders of both women and men. The movement was later joined by the younger Spanish Carmelite friar and mystic John of the Cross, with whom she established the Discalced Carmelites. A formal papal decree adopting the split from the old order was issued in 1580. Her autobiography, ''The Life of Teresa of Jesus'', ''The Interior Castle'', and ''The Way of Perfection'', are prominent works on Christian mysticism and Christian meditation practice. In her autobiography, written as a defense of her ecstatic mystical experiences, she discerns four stages in the ascent of the soul to God: mental prayer and meditation; th ...
