Nibbles: Cassava, fonio, apples, Salicornia, aurochs, seeds

  • Nagib Nassar challenges the wisdom of GM cassava. Cultivate indigenous and wild varieties of the crop!
  • Or fonio (Digitaria exilis). New paper on its diversity.
  • And for dessert? Wild apple diversity?
  • Need salad? How about Salicornia then?
  • Nice aurochs steak to go with the salad?
  • Not too soon to start planning a future harvest, if you’re in Ireland and want seeds.

Fresh Nibbles

    1. Pearl millet is getting the hybrid treatment. And, loving it.
    2. Want to know what to grow in your garden? Yes, even pearl millet.
    3. Nice pics of Armenian landscapes, food and foodways. No pearl millet in sight.
    4. The latest monthly newsletter from The Botanist in the Kitchen does seeds. Pearl millet unavailable for comment.
    5. China is genotyping and phenotyping (almost) everything. Pearl millet feeling left out.
    6. If pearl millet fails, there is always pastoralism. No, wait…
