Today's spotlight local food is greens! I made a greens powder from backyard "superfoods."

Dandelion greens are rich in Vitamins A and K,
Common mallow greens are loaded with Vitamins B1, B2, B3.
Wheatgrass provides Vitamin B6, B12 and Vitamin E,
Mulberry leaves give us folate and zinc.
Rounding it off with calcium, magnesium and iron in Nettles.

All of its free!

What other vegetable or herb have you used for nutrition?

Tereza, I have some black sesame seeds right now! 😮 I gotta try that! Ive never made sesame milk before.

Yeaterday's local food spotlight may not be super popular in Permies. But I grew black soybeans this year and was excited to see if it would make black soymilk!? (I have several kids who are sensitive to dairy milk)

Yesterday was a topsy turvy day for me. I had nightshade leftovers for breakfast. Then the rest of the plans went sideways. My community experienced an accident. Some of my kids witnessed it. Others were friends of kids involved. A lot of tears and hugs.

I ended up sneaking a garden cucumber into comfort sushi later that day. Sometimes ya gotta pivot!

Today I remembered to take a picture to share with you! 😘 I foraged for this little black tomatillo. I put it in a porridge bowl of black barley, which I grew for the first time this year! My first successful grain! 🙌

I also added blackberries for a deep purple yum! Topping it with a dallop of honeycomb from my 🐝 🐝.

Any of you ever eaten this fruit before?

Oh! I forgot to post yesterday's trout salad!

Local greens,
Sunchoke,
Fermented pickles,
Homeade duck egg mayo,
Homeade sourdough bread (made with locally milled flour!) Topped with raspberry peach jam!

Sorry for the blurry pictures. Ive been experimenting with making videos right on social media platforms so I don't have to manage a huge media library. But that means all ive got to share here are screenshot. To see the full video, find me on Instagram or facebook.

Did you make pink grits from  pink corn?  Was the process hard?

Hey Anne! No, it wasnt hard. The corn was pink. I think a hopi variety? So like regular gritts, but not yellow

I tried gritts today! Savory breakfasts are hitting the spot right now. Pink gritts, garlic black beans, pickled salsify flowers and fresh strawberries. A Perfectly balanced meal.

Thanks Thereza and Anne! Great ideas 💡 I agree with David, 🌿 are SO NECESSARY for enjoyable food. Bee balm is one of my favorites. I also love garlic, waling onion, and sage.

Good morning, Permies! Yesterday, I made waffles from yellow Dock. I topped them with strawberries (my everbearing patch is on a 2nd kick for the season) and cherry syrup that I make every spring. It was yummy!
