Not "Chaos", "Kaos"! (Pratchett joke.)

A microplane is best, as it will STOP when you get to the "rind" (actually called the pith). A regular grater will keep going, and it will be bitter. The tiny bits of zest will lose quite a lot of the aromatic essential oils to the air if you let them dry like that, so, unless you are a...

"Never mess with an old man who comes from a place where men die young."

Pink is probably rose flavor, green might be pandanus (screw pine). The seeds don't really taste of ANYTHING (maybe a little nutty) they're there for texture. I've never drank the drinks, but I HAVE had falooda (rose and basil seed) flavored kulfi (sort of Indian ice cream.) The seeds don't...

Forgot one big thing , NEVER try harvesting when it has just rained! Basil seeds have a gel coating that swells with moisture, and it is sticky as hell (Asians drink basil seeds for the gel). Not sure, as I nave never grown that one. But probably, as the number of plants in the mint family that...

(Sorry for the delay, laptop was in the shop.) This is how I do it. 1. Pick the basil pods one by one as they ripen (by the time the top ones are done, the bottom will have lost their seeds, so you need to go fruit by fruit for maximum seeds.) Place fruits in a small bowl (I use a ramekin)...

That's a real thing

But that's sort of the point, the beanstalk ust GROWS overnight, and Jack an climb it in the morning. If there was already a support structure going up into the clouds, don't you think they'd NOTICE it, and have investigated it before? The bean's magic is in growing fast and huge, not making...

I found this amusing THIS is what a Nancy Drew book looks like in Japan.

As I think I said before, the original beanstalk was probably supposed to be a broad, or fava, bean plant. Those WERE in England since time immemorial. Plus, sine favas grow straight up without support, it actually fits the legend better.

Once in a blue moon, you might find an even BETTER tasting one (the only one I sort of like). Look for ones that are pure purple (instead of the purple/green mix most are) and oval/egg shaped, not spherical.

Well, I've TOLD o all about the rosary pea in the bag of senna. Besides that (and a ton of other seeds). I have found plenty of bugs (including a few ladybugs I filed away for later identification,) small stones (including a small bit of what I TIK might be raw jade) bits of burlap, and so on.
