RE: Permaculture Food Crops: Tale of the Tiger Nut (Perennial Vision)

in #homesteading6 years ago

Congratulations you two! The hard work pays off with the harvest at the end of the year :) Looking forward to seeing your tiger nut field grow and grow over the years. Serious question: how did you like the flavor?

Sort:  

Thanks @sagescrub. Us too, our main issue is the labor involved with bringing land into production. We have a seriously silly amount of rocks that we remove if we want any level of good tilth.

The flavor was OK right after harvest, although it had a very "earthy" taste... most likely becuase i didn't rinse it well enough. lol.. I've had dried tubers, that seem to cure and take on a much richer and nuttier taste. I quite like them. I think once I get them all cleaned and cured, they will make an AMAZING nut mylk.

Wow what are you going to do with all those rocks? Maybe a rocket mass stove/heater like @quochuy's?

That sounds very delicious. I gotta try growing tiger nuts!

If you use some earth mortar to stick them together then you could probably make a better rocket stove than with just plain bricks.

I’m sure @mountainjewel will find something creative to use them rocks for.
