agglutinate

The Latin term agglutināre arrived in Castilian as agglutinate. East verb mention the action of achieving that different elements are united to each other. For example: "To agglutinate the preparation, the ideal is to use egg", "I think my candidacy is the only one that will be able to bring together support from different sectors", "This city has the ability to bring together natural beauties, historical treasures and leisure options in one place".

The idea to agglutinate may refer to a physical union: two things get stuck by the use of a binder or by some kind of process. In the field of architecture, to agglutinate implies the fusion of fragments by means of a substance that, as a result of the process, offers a compact element. In the medicine, uniting consists of achieving that two parts are in contact.

If we focus on the kitchen, the act of agglutinating is carried out so that a mass is uniform or to achieve that different ingredients are amalgamated. There are substances that, due to their characteristics, serve as binders. One of the most used is the egg, although to obtain this product it is necessary to exploit the animals that lay them, such as chickens and quails, for which it is preferable to opt for substances of plant origin.

Thanks to the use of the egg it is possible to achieve the union of the ingredients of a potato omelette or a cake, in addition to improving the texture and consistency of certain doughs, both salty and sweet. Of course the veganPeople who do not consume any product of animal origin can also prepare such dishes, although instead of eggs they use various plant ingredients, such as flax or linseed seeds.

Flax seeds can be a perfect binder if used ground. It is ideal for the preparation of cookies and breads, although it can also be used for other dishes, as long as its nutty flavor does not clash with the prescription. It is generally recommended to use three tablespoons of water for each ground seed as a replacement for an egg. Regarding its properties, it is important to note that it is a natural anti-inflammatory and provides a good amount of Omega 3, a fatty acid essential for the proper functioning of the heart.

Another product that can serve as an egg replacement when it comes to agglutinating ingredients in the kitchen is the Ener-G, which is made from tapioca and potato starch. It does not contain wheat, gluten, dairy, soy, casein, yeast, peanuts or nuts, so it is not only ideal for vegan people but for those who have allergies to any of these food.

To agglutinate the dough for cakes, muffins or cookies, among many other baked products, just mix Ener-G with water and then add it to the preparation. One of its advantages over flax seeds and other egg replacements is that its flavor is almost imperceptible; This makes it more versatile, as it can be used in savory and sweet dishes alike.

Agglutinate, on the other hand, refers to the meeting from people, circumstances or elements of disparate characteristics. Suppose a man wishes to become president of his neighborhood development association. According to the institution's bylaws, it must present one hundred endorsements and propose a five-member board of directors to be able to participate in the elections. The man, in this way, begins to talk with his neighbors, detailing his ideas for the institution. This is how it tries to unite wills so that the neighbors, with their signature, give the corresponding guarantees and can run for the election that will consecrate the new president of the promotion association.
