Pudding used to refer to simple and rustic desserts popular among the lower classes, such as spotted dick and rice pudding. The original version of the pudding dates back to the 14th century. The British made a porridge called rumenty, which was made of
beef and mutton with raisins, wines, currants, and spices. Pudding was more like soup at the time and was eaten during the Christmas season.

All Purpose Flour:

All-purpose flour can be used for a variety of tasks, including baking, cooking, coating meats and vegetables, and thickening sauces and gravies. To manufacture all-purpose flour, a blend of hard wheat (which has more gluten) and soft wheat is crushed together.

Cocoa Powder :

Cocoa powder is primarily used as a flavouring agent in baked goods such as cookies, ice cream, dairy drinks, and cakes. Aside from flavouring, it is also used in the production of coatings for confectioners or frozen desserts. Cocoa powder is also used in the beverage industry, for example, to make chocolate milk.

Canned Peaches :

White peach flesh has a delicate, floral sweetness, whereas yellow peach flesh has a more acidic flavour. Canned peaches contain the same amount of nutrients as fresh peaches. The study discovered that the two options had comparable levels of vitamin E. And canned fruit had nearly four times the vitamin C and a lot more folate than
fresh fruit.
