Title: Sources of Flour
Post by: TWP on June 06, 2016, 10:03:25 PM
This article lists four plants which can be used to make flour for food.

http://www.offthegridnews.com/off-grid-foods/4-common-plants-you-didnt-know-you-could-turn-into-flour/

The four are:

1) Amaranth

2) Acorns

3) Rye Grass

4) Cattails

Details are included on processing for flour production, from using a mortar and pestle to a food processor.

Warnings about using sandstone or limestone to grind grains.  They will crumble and the resulting sand in your food will damage teeth.

NOTE:  We have Acorns and Cattails growing locally and Amaranth can be planted in our climate.  I don't know how well Rye Grass will grow in our area...
