It&#8217;s great to be back! Let&#8217;s start with a sticky little (okay, big) legume with a big flavor profile!

The Plants We Eat

Tamarind

I know, it doesn&#8217;t sound tasty at all, but if you&#8217;re a vegetarian looking for BBQ then this big guy is about as good as it gets!

Jackfruit

Cows provide us with leather and meat, but use a lot of grass, grain, and water. Silkworms provide us with silk and silkworm pupae, and all it costs are a few mulberry leaves!

Silkworm Pupae

No meal is complete without maggots&#8230;

Black Soldier Fly

Beetles&#8230;not just for breakfast anymore!

Mealworms

The first in a short series that we&#8217;re calling The Bugs We Eat. Sure it seems gross, but they&#8217;re actually pretty good!

Crickets

Yes, Marsh Mallows are a real thing &#8212; and no, those fluffy white clouds you are placing into your hot cocoa are not real marshmallows.

Marsh Mallow

How did it take us so long to get to The King of Fruits?

Durian

Don&#8217;t eat the berries! But the leaves&#8230;.well, as long they&#8217;re from the proper holly they&#8217;re not bad at all!

Holly

A delicious snack once you get past the sharp bits!

Prickly Pear
