"Buckwheat. It’s not wheat. It’s not even a grain. Would you believe, it is actually related to rhubarb and sorrel? It is, in fact, a fruit seed and is a suitable substitute for gr…"

JenniferEmilson Farro is awesome as well! @rachna

DietID_TeamDietitians Never thought of this! But I've baked so many other fruits so it makes sense. I'll try it for my next brunch with @akhilg2002!

So I stewed those dry mulberries in some water and orange marmalade (hey, it's all that I could find in my mom's barren pantry!) as well as some spices. They plumped up. Very sweet on their own. Re...

wheeler Beautiful stuff. I want this now! I always put mine in a cup before aaaand I recently got rid of spinning the water before putting it in. They seem to teach that everywhere but you can just drop it...

JenniferEmilson I know- why the vortex in the pot?! Not needed. @wheeler

wheeler Ya know I think it's some internet long game joke ha. Kind of like every recipe for Pad Thai having Ketchup as a required ingredient instead of Tamarind :/
Picked up dried mulberries the other day here in Vancouver. What to do with them! I have some ideas, but welcome more suggestions!

sugardetoxme I'd love to know what to do with mulberries. Maybe a homemade granola?
-
SimplySeema Love mulberries! I love adding the fresh ones into homemade raw chocolate. It's a delicious sweet surprise. Imagine it would be great mixed in with nuts, cereal or even cookies! What are your ideas...
-
JenniferEmilson I've only ever had them fresh. These have a slight crunch, like figs. I'll either use for granola or porridge topping, or else I'll reconstitute them in safer for baking.
