The answer to your question is in the video AND in the comments to the video. You are not the first one who is asking this question. I can answer again: in order to activate psychoactive ingredients in marijuana, you need to heat it to a certain temperature. No heating, no high.

Nice! Thanks for watching!

Lucky you, sounds like your taste buds keep you on the healthy side of diets.

I love cardamom, but I'm just a regular person without any business connections. Good luck to you developing your business!

Lucky you! Here in this video we show naturalized variety - it went back to it;s original spikiness 😉

NO!!!! Black mold is highly toxic. It looks like a very, very fine black powder on and between kernels. Very different from huitlacoche, and if you don't know EXACTLY what to look for, don't touch corn with fungus on it. The "good" edible fungus looks like galls of enlarged deformed kernels. Toxic molds look like powder; different molds can be white, purple, pink, etc. in color

omg ok. 😊

😳YES!

I never got high. My husband claims he gets affected. But really it should not affect one, it's not activated (not heated)

Я рада что вам понравилось!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it

It does not really matter when the plants are young. I prefer sativa, but both work.

YES!

hope you will!

Great to have you here! Thanks for gifting the world with the awesome korolla!

Cultivars are not prickly. The ones in the video are naturalized - they grow wild in the East Bay, CA hills. They reversed back to their original nature. They are thistles

Apparently, it works well on the farm

Oh, you found something made in the USA! Good for you (and the Cedar Ridge Co)

I'm glad you found this helpful!

We are far from anything Monsanto. No big ag anywhere around here, and the seeds are heirlooms from a NM pueblo

Thanks for the comment, my process is not perfect, it's better to prepare an alkaline solution ahead of cooking corn (see pinned comment). Cooking in an alkaline solution unlocks nutrients. It might be beneficial to let the corn sit in the solution for some time. As I said, I'm not super experienced in nixtamalization, and grateful for comments that add useful info to this thread.

YES! Good for you that you are staying connected to the wisdom of your body!

@@AuthenticGardening love this !!!!! ay!!! yay

I made the mistake of cooking corn WITH ash. Instead, boil your ash in water (enough water to cover the corn plus a bit over in case it evaporates) for about 20 mins (1 cup of ash to 1 cup of corn), let it sit a bit, then pour water in a separate pot off the ash, trying not to disturb the ash on the bottom. Use that solution to cook your corn. More info here masienda.com/blogs/learn/wood-ash-nixtamal

@@AuthenticGardening I made the same "mistake", if you can call it that. But I also did it the "right" way, by separating the water from the ash. Though I am satisfied with the result, I feel there is still room for improvement. I followed these two recipes. czcams.com/video/9VjchvSXklU/video.html and czcams.com/video/EiMWLFI-yd0/video.html

Nice! And thank you.

Ha-ha, that's how I feel - going down the rabbit hole - when I follow a thread of information about a plant that attracts my attention! It's a great journey... I bet your enjoyment of Chai has a new depth now

Well, I'm not a professional... just your regular grandma who loves plants and makes videos at home😉. I'm very please you got something you liked out of the video!

Good question. I've never been tested - did not have to.

Yes

WOW, you are raising VERY INTERESTING questions here! I love it! I've never researched cooking veggies in basic solution - but now that you pointed that out, I will "try at home", 😊😊. The second point - about being 'too clean' of a society - YES: and it is several issues, including added chemicals everywhere, including food, and stripping soils of nutrients (sterilized soil). As for 'adding dirt to your diet' - I've read research that says little kids that grew up eating dirt (you know how toddlers put EVERYTHING in their mouth) have less or no allergies later in life. Yay for dirt! Besides eating a bit of minerals with your dirt, dirt contains a whole microbiome of beneficial micro-organisms that is compatible with our digestive system microbiome. Of course, we are talking about healthy organic soil here - soil, not dirt. And that's why mass-production kills aliveness out of food... out of everything, really.

here is my video where we talk about having a little (organic) dirt in your diet czcams.com/video/4PmHmqnfe-k/video.html

Ay, I love people who fall in love with plants! Like myself... Regarding your question - you have to figure out your ag zone, then do research about if Echium has varieties that grow in your area. Then, if there ARE such varieties, find sources of seeds or seedlings. Good luck!

There are many types of corn - watch here czcams.com/video/jeHo3cZJ8B8/video.html.

Too bad. If you don’t cook the corn by using the alkalinization process you will use most of the nutrients

Awesome!
