minus-squareA Phlaming Phoenixlinkfedilink80•1 year agoCinnamon and sumac are two common spices that are made from grinding up tree bark.
minus-squareEcho Dotlinkfedilink16•1 year agoAlso ginger. And technically wormwood too, although that’s more you drinking water that is soaked into wood.
minus-square@die444die@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish22•1 year agoGinger is a root, maybe you’re thinking of something else?
minus-squarecredit crazylinkfedilink1•1 year agoEh what is a root if not wood that is covered in dirt
minus-square@die444die@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish18•1 year agoSo is a potato wood? A carrot? Ginger is not a tree. It’s a flowering plant.
minus-squareEcho Dotlinkfedilink-1•1 year agoA potato is not a flowering plant it’s a tuba, such as an onion. Totally different thing entirely to a bit of wood attached to a tree.

minus-square@die444die@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish9•1 year agoAnd potato is a tuber but an onion is not. Both are flowering plants. So is ginger. Ginger has nothing to do with ‘a bit of wood attached to a tree’ which is exactly my point.

minus-squareA Phlaming Phoenixlinkfedilink11•1 year agoI stand corrected on that one. I assumed it was sumac bark, and you know what they say about assumption. It makes an ass out of u and mption.
minus-square@Fermion@feddit.nllinkfedilink2•1 year agoThe bit about powdered sumac (bark?) being a powerful dye for marble is pretty interesting. I wish there was an example photo.
