Is corn a fruit or vegetable?
Corn is considered a vegetable, specifically a grain vegetable, rather than a fruit.
Why is corn a vegetable and not a fruit?
Corn is considered a vegetable because it is the edible seed of the grass plant, not a mature ovary like most fruits. In botanical terms, fruits develop from the fertilized ovary of a flower, whereas vegetables encompass other plant parts such as roots, stems, and leaves. So, although corn is sweet and often used as a vegetable in culinary contexts, it is classified as a grain and therefore a vegetable rather than a fruit.
Why does a salt break up an emulsion?
Salt breaks up an emulsion by destabilizing the emulsion droplets. This is because salt increases the ionic strength of the water phase, causing the emulsifiers to interact more strongly with the water molecules rather than with the oil droplets. As a result, the emulsion droplets coalesce and separate from the water phase.

Is white sauce an emulsion?
White sauce, also known as béchamel, is not an emulsion; rather, it is a mixture of fat (usually butter), flour, and milk. Emulsions are typically formed by combining two immiscible liquids, such as oil and water, with the help of an emulsifier. In contrast, white sauce is a thickened liquid where the flour acts as a thickening agent, suspending the fat in the milk rather than creating a stable emulsion.

Are ornamental peppers edible, or are they purely decorative in nature?
Ornamental peppers are edible, but they are often grown for their decorative appearance rather than for consumption.
Are petite marigolds edible?
I'm afraid that African marigolds (whether petite or not) are not edible, however "calendula" (which some people call marigolds) are edible. (The reason they're not considered edible is that they taste repulsive, rather than are poisonous/toxic)
