The Science of pH in Cooking Every food has a pH: a measure of its acidity or alkalinity on a scale from zero (very acidic) to 14 (very alkaline). Shifting that balance by raising or lowering the pH can change the way ingredients cook, appear, and taste. In addition to having a low pH, acids […]

Tracking hornets with tiny devices might sound like a scene from a spy movie, but in New Zealand, it’s a serious and effective strategy to combat invasive species.
