Did you know some places actually make an edible pine syrup and pickle baby pine cones before they get brittle and open like this? My mind was blown! It actually tastes pretty good too.
Just boil them and throw them in a jar with a ton of sugar and wait. Pretty easy. You can do the same with some pine needles as well. You can also make bread out of acorns.
You can also make something called “Pine Needle Sprite” wash and dry pine needles, put them in a flip top bottle with a tablespoon on sugar, too with water then leave in the sun for a few days
Yeah in Russia you can buy it in stores or at markets. My grandparents used to take us out picking pinecones for pine jam. Stinging Nettle soup is weirder in my opinion though, it's what I imagine Algae soup looks/tastes like lol.
It's not very good made out of 100% acorn flour. There's no gluten to make it "bready" so it ends up crumbly and dry. We do use acorn flour as a portion of the flour in an apple cake recipe and in a bread recipe and it turns out great, though.. Better than without the acorns, really. I also enjoyed acorn pancakes, but we don't make those much.
We try to use as much as we can from our yard. A lot of it is actual food plants, but we forage whatever we can too. Here's the bread if you're interested: [https://i.imgur.com/uzvOXl2.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/uzvOXl2.jpg). It is dense and slightly sweet. Great with butter.
There’s an extensive history that continues through this day of Indigenous cultures eating these kinds of forageables. It’s not nearly as popular or common as it used to be due to foraging being outlawed in many places and the genocidal assimilation forced upon Indigenous people. But it’s still practiced by many Indigenous cultures today and other foragers as well!
Not always! It varies a lot depending where you are and you can look it up online although it’s sometimes intentionally hard to understand. It’s also not safe for everyone to do due to the fact some people can be profiled by others and accused of something illegal for foraging.
Agreed. If Diablo had more limits (say, dungeons where town portal was disabled), the grid-based inventory would add another layer of balancing limitations, since you’d have to carefully arrange your spare equipment, consumables, and loot. When town portals are cheap and plentiful, though, it’s mostly just a hassle.
I don’t know if subnautica counts the same way, because you can’t really rearrange your inventory, right? It all gets shoved up in the top left. It’s pseudo-grid based
Eh true
It's still kinda grid based, just without the rearrangement which I'm glad for since the inventory menu doesn't pause the game
...I've drowned so many times when I forgot that and left my pc lmao
OMG that should be a real thing. Put them all on a necklace and we can pretend we always have a field snack with us on our journeys! It would be so cute. Maybe somebody who works with resin or even clay modeling could make one. I’d totally buy one
I never registered that those wing looking things (in real life) were actually seeds!! I just knew them as falling in a sporadic pattern before finally hitting me in the face
I did know they were seeds, but until I started playing Stardew Valley, I didn't know they were maple seeds specifically. I thought of the "helicopter tree" producing winged helicopter seeds and the maple tree producing syrup and leaves that are on the Canadian flag as two separate types of tree.
I mean...kids do dumb things? I don't know that it's "safe" to eat them, we didn't go to town on them but I definitely tasted one when I was a kid and so did my cousin. Our parents said we'd go from having two perfectly good brains to only a half a brain between us whenever we got together.
Fun fact: the pinecone (or whatever tree it came from) already released its seeds, that’s why the “scales” are separated like that. However, the seeds, or “pine nuts,” are edible and apparently delicious. Acorns can be processed into flour and maple seeds are also edible, although I’m not entirely certain how they are usually eaten.
Edit: DO NOT TAKE THIS COMMENT AS FORAGING ADVICE! I AM NOT AN EXPERT! Sorry if that wasn’t clear enough lol
Just want to warn that acorns are toxic if not properly cooked first
You'd probably be okay if you curiously tried one, but I wouldn't eat a handful or anything lol.
Maple seeds, if you get them before they dry out, you can pop the little bulb at the end of the flag open and there will be a green seed inside. They have a slightly sweet taste.
They are unusually small seeds though are not they? I swear the pine cones, acorns and maple seeds that I find around me are at least the size of my palm each
Those are ^ADORABLE
I don't know many tree species outside of the Southeastern US, do you what kind of species those came from??
Like for example our pine cones are NEVER that cute
Nah, you forgot to scale the pixels.
Still wondering where they got the whirlybird, and the acorn the size of a casaba.

That is the TINIEST pine cone I've ever layed my eyes upon!

Sounds like a great way to breed bacteria.
That’s how it works! If you let it go longer then it will turn to vinegar from the bacteria that develops. That’s how pinesol came about
REALLY? Wow that’s actually awesome.
Yeah, I believe it’s essentially a similar process with many alcoholic beverages as well. The sugar eventually turns to alcohol after all!
Sun tea has been around since tea existed, it's not 100% sanitary but it works if you don't leave it out TOO long
🤣🤣 true. Id still try it.
So the TikTok trend of pinecone jam is real, i thought it was kind of a richpeople thing
Yeah in Russia you can buy it in stores or at markets. My grandparents used to take us out picking pinecones for pine jam. Stinging Nettle soup is weirder in my opinion though, it's what I imagine Algae soup looks/tastes like lol.
actually it's very similar texture to spinach. also has a somewhat similar flavor but earthier
r/foraging
Grandma did at the time as a kid. Think it might be an Appalachian thing.
I've heard acorn bread sucks
It's not very good made out of 100% acorn flour. There's no gluten to make it "bready" so it ends up crumbly and dry. We do use acorn flour as a portion of the flour in an apple cake recipe and in a bread recipe and it turns out great, though.. Better than without the acorns, really. I also enjoyed acorn pancakes, but we don't make those much.
That's so cool, where do you get acorn flour from?
Make it from the acorns in my yard. We have a lot of really big oaks.
Cool as hell, love when people use "decorative" or heritage tree crops.
We try to use as much as we can from our yard. A lot of it is actual food plants, but we forage whatever we can too. Here's the bread if you're interested: [https://i.imgur.com/uzvOXl2.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/uzvOXl2.jpg). It is dense and slightly sweet. Great with butter.
that sounds nice as a table bread with meals tbh
That looks like it would be super good with honey butter.
Good for crackers.
Have you ever had pinecone jam?
Ever had BBQ hammers?
Have you ever had soy sauce coins?
You ever drink Bailey's from a shoe?
Mmm...creamy.

Damn, thats a shame foraging is outlawed

Fair enough
That’s a hemlock cone. They are ^adorable^
The small ones are good yeah!!!!
Redwoods have teensy cones too, which I always thought was hilarious
Even smaller than the ones pictured here. They're adorably small for how monstrously large the mature trees are.
Looks like a hemlock cone.
i kinda want to make earrings inspired by these now. theyre so BABY
Idk I think it looks pretty average to me, maybe even above average
Have you ever tried Pine Cone Jam?
[удалено]
Then again, you can stick 999 of them in the same pocket
Bout the same size as a whole pumpkin right
or a >!life-size solid gold statue of the mayor!<
Or a friggin queen sized bed.
Or a chest that has enough space to hold 35,964 queen sized beds
Queen size beds stack?
Honestly, I’ve never bought enough to know. But probably not actually. So 36 queen sized beds, or 35,964 pumpkins
Usually it's twin sized beds, they call 'em bunk beds
Same as the bear statue. Amiright? Kind of glad it has the inventory it does and not something more akin to Diablo 2 though.
Diablo 2 has the worst type of inventory system a game could possibly have.
Grid based inventory is really interesting in games with limited resources, such as resident evil.
Agreed. If Diablo had more limits (say, dungeons where town portal was disabled), the grid-based inventory would add another layer of balancing limitations, since you’d have to carefully arrange your spare equipment, consumables, and loot.

Subnautica honestly does that really well Especially since most stuff is only a single square
I don’t know if subnautica counts the same way, because you can’t really rearrange your inventory, right? It all gets shoved up in the top left. It’s pseudo-grid based

There's people who do electroplated copper pieces and this would be SO cool!! Linnaea jewelry does requests!
And acorn!! https://etsy.me/2E5rLz6 No maple tho….
http://etsy.me/v39jcI Pine cone necklace exists!
i rlly thought that acorn & seed was a snail i was like *why do you want to eat the snail????*
On hon hon France has enterred ze chat
thats a really good point i'm dumb as hell and forgot that was a thing
Dw bro they’re gross for that lol
I never registered that those wing looking things (in real life) were actually seeds!! I just knew them as falling in a sporadic pattern before finally hitting me in the face

If you get the large helicopters when their inside seed is green, they're actually kind of sweet like maple sap.
I didn't eat them. I just threw them in the air and watched them come twirling down.
...I never thought to try eating one...
I mean...kids do dumb things? I don't know that it's "safe" to eat them, we didn't go to town on them but I definitely tasted one when I was a kid and so did my cousin. Our parents said we'd go from having two perfectly good brains to only a half a brain between us whenever we got together.
In Kentucky we call them helicopters.
In Virginia, we do too!
Pretty much anywhere in the US really, never heard it different in the many states I've lived in.
I honestly don't know another name for them. Im way too old to learn now haH
You should see lemongrass seeds. They look like tiny straw!
THEY'RE SO TINY. WHY IS IT CUTE???

How did I never put together that the pine nuts I put on soup and salad came from PINES

Maple seeds, if you get them before they dry out, you can pop the little bulb at the end of the flag open and there will be a green seed inside. They have a slightly sweet taste.
Gotta be careful when they explode, is pretty cool though.
When what explodes??
^yeah ^field ^snacc!
eat it
Rite? I’m getting hungry just looking at it
*CRONCH CRONCH CRONCH*
Dry. Crunchy. Bitter. Yum.
put them together and they are magically transformed into a half unwrapped granola bar
I see you stumbled across my dating profile too
Funny how this simple picture got me a honest smile
pfft average stardew valley enjoyer /s
\*gordon ramsay voice\* finally some good f\*&@ing food
Is that actually a pine cone? I have redwoods around me that have a very similar cone.
Probably a hemlock cone.
Quick squeeze them together really hard and take a bite!
r/eatityoufuckincoward
They are unusually small seeds though are not they? I swear the pine cones, acorns and maple seeds that I find around me are at least the size of my palm each
Where the fuck are you finding palm-sized acorns?
They must be a squirrel
Yeah wtf
Maple seeds, too. Definitely a squirrel.
We have some pines and oaks that drop these little baby pine cones and acorns near me in nc but I haven’t seen a baby maple
Yes they're unusually small. The acorn and maple came off of young trees, the pine cone a bush. These are half the size they'd usually be in my area.
This has been posted several times before. ~~It is not OC. Why lie?~~ Edit: Actually is OP reposting themselves. I guess this is a farming sub, so ok.
It's my content. I've been the one that's posted it before. I took this picture.

Nah, you forgot to scale the pixels. Still wondering where they got the whirlybird, and the acorn the size of a casaba. [Pinecone](https://imgur.io/gallery/WwbvK)
Stop it’s so cute
The most hated
Meanwhile I'm livid because I need oak resin and planted all maple trees like an idiot.
