Dear Friends of #Yama, :ablobblastoff:
I like her #unexpected #scythe, her #dementor type #garb. Her angry #stomping.
As we may know, #death comes in #unexpected #forms, not always to those who deserve; The #innocent, the #pure, the by stander. The scythe cuts #wheat,
#chaff, #trees and #everyone.
#Today is a #good day to #Live, as the #Klingons might say (not in this #fantasy)
Just a #reminder to #prepare. We won’t be bringing what we stand up in. Your coin for the #river #Styx is #invalid currency. You can try #offering a #fish sole, shoo sole, soul solo. No use. The row is over. The furthest shore empty.

"Less is…less
Why do we eat the same varieties of #fruits & #vegetables worldwide? Why do nearly 50% of our calories come from the same three crops: #wheat, #rice, and maize? What led to such a homogenization of our diets? #Food around the world used to be characterized by specific local and regional varieties of crops, providing a #diversity of tastes, textures, diets, & nutritional value. Underutilized crops (UCs) or forgotten crops are less common species, landraces, cultivars, or heritage varieties whose use, production, & consumption is currently limited. Despite their current depreciation, they boast a long history of cultivation in many parts of the world & hold great nutritional & environmental promise for the future of our food systems.
Abandonment of diverse varieties undermines food security. Malnutrition is linked to a lack of diversity on our plates & the shrinking nutritional value of our daily meals." https://www.resilience.org/stories/2023-11-14/the-policy-paradoxes-of-underutilised-crops/

Viele afrikanische Länder haben Weizen vor allem aus Russland importiert. Rwanda versucht, Weizenmehl durch Süsskartoffelmehl zu ersetzen. Es gbt auch bei uns Brot mit Kartoffelmehl. Mehl jenseits der Brotgetreide hat auch Vorteile. Das Mehl der Ackerbohnen verbessert z.B. die Haltbarkeit von Brot. Wenn Müller mit kleiner Mühle überleben wollen, müssen sie neue Quasi-Mehle in ihrer Versuchsbäckerei testen. Als Schüler war ich auch Tester.

The history of a local campaign to get people to eat more wheat in the past that failed.
"The “Eat More Wheat” campaign began in 1967 during a time when there was a global rice shortage. [...] However, many people found it difficult to make the switch. As a reporter with the Eastern Sun newspaper noted, rice-eating was a “centuries old habit” and “we have been rice eaters since as far back as we can remember”."

10 #Foods Becoming Massively More Expensive Due to #ClimateChange
by Apeksha Bhateja | July 5, 2023
"Climate change is touching every aspect of human life. It may not be responsible for every disaster, but climate change is making extreme weather events more frequent and intense. Turbulence is getting worse. Cities are sinking. Droughts and floods are forcing people to flee their homes. What else? Food, of course.
Although food prices are affected by many factors—economics of the country, supply-chain, inflation, oil prices, wars and conflicts—climate plays a major role in production and it has started to sting. More than 345 million people face severe food insecurity in 2023 and crop failures due to floods, droughts, and other extreme weather events are making things worse.

U.S. winter #wheat abandonment at 32.6% this year is pegged to be the highest since 1917 and second highest on record.
There were clearly great difficulties during the 1930s and1950s in growing winter wheat, which was then as now, produced mainly on the central and southern Great Plains.

2019: #Gut #microbiota and #neurological effects of #glyphosate
Abstract: "There are currently various concerns regarding certain environmental toxins and the possible impact they can have on developmental diseases. Glyphosate (Gly) is the most utilised herbicide in agriculture, although its widespread use is generating controversy in the scientific world because of its probable #carcinogenic effect on human cells. Gly performs as an inhibitor of 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phospate synthase (EPSP synthase), not only in plants, but also in bacteria. An inhibiting effect on EPSP synthase from intestinal microbiota has been reported, affecting mainly beneficial bacteria. To the contrary, Clostridium spp. and Salmonella strains are shown to be resistant to Gly. Consequently, researchers have suggested that Gly can cause dysbiosis, a phenomenon which is characterised by an imbalance between beneficial and pathogenic microorganisms. The overgrowth of bacteria such as #clostridia generates high levels of noxious metabolites in the #brain, which can contribute to the development of neurological deviations. This work reviews the impact of Glyphosate-induced #intestinal dysbiosis on the central nervous system, focusing on emotional, #neurological and #neurodegenerative disorders. A wide variety of factors were investigated in relation to brain-related changes, including highlighting #genetic abnormalities, #pregnancy-associated problems, #diet, #infections, vaccines and heavy metals. However, more studies are required to determine the implication of the most internationally used #herbicide, Gly, in behavioural disorders."
The production outlook for the U.S. winter #wheat crop is the lowest in recent years for parts of the Great Plains, with USDA records dating to 1986. One grower in southwest #Kansas expects to abandon 85% of the crop due to #drought.

I prefer to bake #wholeGrain bread. Whole grain bread is tasty, contains important vitamins, fibers, and minerals, and it's also very satiating. Of course I also bake with #sourdough, which helps keeping the bread fresh.
#Mischbrot is probably the most popular kind of bread in Germany. Normally, it's made with a blend of #wheat and #rye, and it's traditionally baked with #sourdough. It has a grey crumb. It's not as soft as wheat bread, and also not as chewy as rye bread.
#Spelt / #dinkel, an ancient kind of wheat, recently became very popular in Germany again. It has a very tasty, nutty flavour.
So as you might guess, one of my favourite breads is *whole grain Dinkel-Mischbrot*. I bake it with a sourdough (consisting of one part of spelt and one part rye, and some starter) at 75% hydration, and two additional parts of spelt and rye in the main dough. The overall hydration is 80%. Because half of the flour is pre-fermented, fermentation & proofing of the main dough is quite fast (only 2-3 hours at room temperature), which makes it a very practical recipe. In this particular bake, I added #olives while shaping the bread. The bread bakes for 20min with lid, and 45 min without lid, at the maximum temperature of my toaster oven (230 °C).
