#Scientists have been studying the plants in #DeathValley and have decoded the #genes that enable them to survive in this scorching environment. They now want to implement these genes in #wheat, #corn, and other important crops.
That's right, screw #nature. If it doesn't obey us, we'll just build a new one.

Trump admin to again approve new #Pfas #foreverchemical #pesticide ingredient drawing criticism from public health advocates who say the nationโs #food and #water supply is being put at more risk from the dangerous compounds. The substance would be sprayed on #corn, #soybeans and #wheat, and it marks the fifth Pfas pesticide ingredient the #EPA has proposed for approval under Trumpโs second term as US #president. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/nov/11/trump-pfas-forever-chemical-pesticide #healthcare #publichealth #chemicals #agribusiness #farming
It's not so much "creamed corn" as it is "corned cream". That's really soupy and gloopy.
I've been playing around with nixtamalizing corn, after having bought a large sack of flint corn.
Fresh tortillas are awesome. A crispy-chewy texture that I don't get using masa harina (and far tastier than storebought). Muffins made with fresh ground masa are also a hit. As we've entered into fall, I'm really liking the subtle corn flavour when I use fresh masa to thicken soups. And masa in hot water makes a nice soothing drink.
This morning I started wondering whether anyone processes cornmeal via fermentation (ie to eat, not as beer or spirits).
Lo and behold Africa! Ghana ga kenkey is a traditional dish made from fermented corn dough. The fermentation improves nutrient bioavailability, similar to nixtamalization.

So while poor Europeans and Americans were getting sick and dying from pellagra, Indigenous folks on 2 different continents had figured it out.

I went for a #night drive with a buddy and we saw a shimmering light along Lake Erie. I pulled aside as we admired what mother nature could offer us during a #supermoon event. She never fails to disappoint.

along with my container #gardening next year i am going to find glass gem #corn that is acclimated to this area and grow a few ears of it just to show it off to my family who doesnt know it exists and i'm not telling them lol

Agriculture is one of the most important sectors of Sri Lanka's economy, accounting for 8.3% of GDP and 26.3% of the country's total employed population in 2023. Thanks to its favorable climate and fertile soils, the republic produces a wide range of agricultural products and is also one of the key exporters of tea, cinnamon, and coconut.

What a pity here we critsize things but we don't have incidences like that. Only that the problem we face is taking non nutritious meals.. That's why I came up to solve this situation through growing nutritious foods and educating people on food matters . #nutrition #mastodon #nature #sustainability #homemade #corn #beans

This popcorn was reaped from the fields and reformed in a pan. Wow. ;)
How to: I sculpting popcorn pieces, created a popcorn material with a little subsurface and a noise texture with the dark brown and yellowish part, then I modeled the bucket, made the stripes. After that I went to Krita painting the POPCORN label, put it on a plane and with shrinkwrap it was on the bucket. Then I made a sphere on the top of the bucket and a plane on the ground. I sculpted the sphere as volume for the popcorn particles. At the end I made the particles in geometry nodes inside the explosion volume and on the faces of the ground plane. Lighting with 4 lights, background and here it is! :)
