minus-squareA Phlaming Phoenixlinkfedilink83•2 months agoCinnamon and sumac are two common spices that are made from grinding up tree bark.
minus-squareEcho Dotlinkfedilink16•2 months agoAlso ginger. And technically wormwood too, although that’s more you drinking water that is soaked into wood.
minus-square@die444dielinkEnglish22•2 months agoGinger is a root, maybe you’re thinking of something else?
minus-square@die444dielinkEnglish18•2 months agoSo is a potato wood? A carrot? Ginger is not a tree. It’s a flowering plant.
minus-squareEcho Dotlinkfedilink-2•2 months agoA potato is not a flowering plant it’s a tuba, such as an onion. Totally different thing entirely to a bit of wood attached to a tree.

minus-square@pbbananamanlink13•2 months agoYou using a different kind of sumac than the rest of us? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumac#In_food
minus-squareA Phlaming Phoenixlinkfedilink11•2 months agoI stand corrected on that one. I assumed it was sumac bark, and you know what they say about assumption. It makes an ass out of u and mption.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•2 months agoThe bit about powdered sumac (bark?) being a powerful dye for marble is pretty interesting. I wish there was an example photo.
