If sawdust made my yeasted enriched dough taste awesome I’d be putting it on there too.
Have you tried? Maybe its delicious
It blows my mind that cinnamon trees are a real thing. I can go walk through a cinnamon forest!? Wtf, how is that real? That’s some CandyLand/Narnia shit.
I always wondered how a cinnamon forest would smell.
Like chicken, of course.
Much like all forests
Well, actually… it’s ground into a powder, rather than the byproduct of sawing. I don’t think it counts.
I will saw my cinnamon sticks just to prove you wrong.
Everything is toxic in large amounts, even water
Because our water is basically all dihydrogen monoxide at this point. We’re so fucked.
Consume too much? Dead.
Inhale too much? Dead.
Go too deep into it? Dead.
We really should be regulating the stuff.
What did the Jamaican priest say to the thief stealing from the church?
(In Jamaican accent) “You’re a cinna mon”
Hue hue hue
As a forager I don’t see anything wrong with eating a tree… As long I’m 200% sure what kind tree I’m eating.
Ever eat bamboo? Delicious
Bamboo is grass.
I have and I hated it. But I think I didn’t know how to prepare it.
But is it known to cause cancer in the state of California?
Everything is known to cause cancer to the state of California.
Pay attention to how often you see “cellulose” as a listed ingredient. That’s also usually processed wood pulp.
That cheap powdery parmesan often found in pizza places? Also sawdust.
It gets extra funny when you see cellulose listed on something with artificial cinnamon flavoring.
It’s not sawdust. Some might be derived from wood but it’s just cellulose and does not contain lignin, which is what differentiates wood from other plant matter. Chemically, it’s basically the same as any other plant starch.
A bit of instant coffee in the bottom of a bowl.
Add 120g of frozen blueberries.
Add a sprinkling of roasted cashews.
Add some whole milk. (Or, heavy cream if you’re feeling thin that day.)
Top with a generous poof of cinnamon powder, and a tiny bit of sugar.
Stir and enjoy.
Makes a damn good insecticide
and prosthetic testicle, or prosthesticle
It’s not really that weird, root beer used to be made using sassafras bark and yeah that’s toxic in large amounts too.
Also fun fact, you can eat the inner bark of most pine trees, particularly white pines. It doesn’t taste great but it could easily be a source of food in an emergency.
