RE: First time eating fresh bamboo shoots from our forest 🌱

in HiveGarden6 months ago

The bamboo looks very delicious after preparing it. I never knew bamboo was edible, we learn every day.

So sorry about the hazelnut, I'm sure the cat thought he was doing you a favor by watering them lol I'm just kidding.
I love the art you made with them on the ground, it's very lovely.

Almost all plants are edible in fact. Or at least some aspect of them, like their roots, flowers or seeds. And the way in which we prepare them is important too. Some are only good for us if we infuse them in a tea, while others we can just eat the whole thing. Like the radishes i mentioned in this post. There is basically no part of the plant which can't be eaten. Except when the seed pods go brown and become too tough for chewing.

I would personally say that every single plant on Earth has a direct purpose for us humans! Even the ones that can't be eaten likely produce some kind of poison which if taken in small quantities will be beneficial for some condition. It's just that we mostly forgot over the last few centuries what they are all for and how to prepare them! So now it is our job to remember...

Two of the five kittens have gone to their new owners now so the house is a bit less chaotic than before. Plus all boxes of nuts have been put away ;)

Wow! That's really new, we learn everyday.
You're very right,and especially when it comes to culture, you'd be surprised about what plants and veggies others eat, it's just amazing. You'd only get to know about them when you travel.
Thanks for sharing ❤️
That means less work for you. That's great
