TL;DR

*Climate change will significantly impact food systems.

*Plants have optimal growing temperatures and many follow seasonal cycles.

*My feed will highlight plants with higher OGT, don’t depend on seasonal cycles or flower in late season.

*Farmers focus on what will sell, leaving new options unexplored.

*Creating demand for these plants would stabilize our food supply.

Tepary beans and Nkruma Tenten okra growing symbiotically. The okra have large leaves with deep dark red veins and stems. The bean leaves are smaller and just green. There are some white flower on the bean vines.

I will also explore underutilized edible in the southeastern US and how to cook and preserve them.

A white plate featuring a decorative arrangement of food, including dark square pieces, sliced carrots, green vegetables, pale yellow pieces, and pink flower petals. The presentation is artistic and colorful against a black background. The native plants are redbud flowers and southern live oak dumplings.

Redbuds are edible?! I just loved all the pollinators in the spring!

@ldlundstrom the flowers are edible. They taste like cucumber and sometimes have a little sweet nectar inside. The bean pods when they are very young and not full-size are also edible but need to be cooked.

@jblue Thanks for the insight! My paw paw trees are very small, but I'm looking forward to having fruit someday 🙂

@ldlundstrom @jblue nice. I'm hoping my redbud will bloom for the first time next spring. Will give them a taste
