uhhhhh what

I’m guessing it sort of came from the fact that we cook food with burning wood. Less so now, but burning wood meant cooked food for 200k years.

I don’t think wood smells like it is edible, but a fire can remind me of food through smell.

I’m not sure I agree about the smell of wooe, but the cambium of many different tree species is perfectly edible. Have at it, my friend!

All the 10s in my neighborhood love to gobble on my wood, though?

Edit: It was a joke. There are no 10s in my neighborhoods, and if there were, they would probably not choose to have intimate relations with me.

I spent the day making a planter box out of cedar, and it doesn’t smell like food even a little.

We can, and do, eat wood. It’s listed as “cellulose” in the ingredients, and it’s in everything. Your ice cream, your bread, probably up in yo closet doin your Mamma right now

That’s made from plants, including trees, but that’s not really what I’m talking about.

Maple syrup is tree blood. Kind like tree vampirism.

I don’t think wood smells like food. But I wonder… apparently termites have a bunch of gut bacteria to digest wood. Maybe if you eat raw termites and bark beetles, you can then eat some sawdust. If you continue the process eventually you may be able to eat wood or paper with your own gut biome. Maybe start with a termite, sawdust, and banana smoothie and move up from there. Best of luck.

Anyolduser ,

“Tree vampirism”? Naw dude, we boil the tree blood down first. It’s concentrated tree vampirism.

intensely_human ,

Kinda like centrifuge blood taffy?

olafurp ,

Yeah, it stops being healthy because it’s ultra processed.

Anyolduser ,

My dude, it’s pure sugar. It was never healthy.

Also, I’m not sure that boiling something down to thicken it counts as “ultra processed”.

anindefinitearticle ,

It only gets boiled down to pure sugar. You boil off or break down a lot of the aromatics and volatiles in the original sap to make syrup. It gets processed by boiling to concentrate the sugar and reduce the presence of the rest of what the tree was living on. Maple sap does not become “pure sugar” (maple syrup) until after it gets the good stuff processed out.

This Cleveland Health Clinic page on maple sap mentions the presence of abscisic acid, a plant hormone with anti-diabetic properties, and polyphenols that help you manage inflammation.

In the US, a little less sugar = “healthy”

Oh, you mean CTV?

Also if you believe the stories ive heard from pizza chains like Papa Johns and Domino’s, sawdust is regularly added to pizza dough to make it cheaper to produce
