Just tried this (they were on Dragon’s Den a week or so ago) and I am hooked. Tastes as good if not a bit better than oat milk, and oat milk was making me a bit bloaty. So I’m happy! Not in supermarkets yet but I’ve found an online source. 😋

Hop! Début du mois c'était le #TEFF (The Extraordinary Film Festival), centré les handicaps. C'était vraiment cool et j'ai beaucoup aimé certains films.
Du coup j’ai voulu en faire un article! 😊

#CandelariaNaturePreserve celebrates four years of restoration
"Just because a species is non-native does not make it an invasive one, and some non-native species function to support restoration."
by Emmett Di Mauro and Elijah Ritch
February 7, 2025
"On Jan. 31, the Candelaria Nature Preserve in #Albuquerque hosted a tour of its ongoing #rewilding project. The public tours are given on the last Friday of every month from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and cover the preserve’s efforts to restore the 90 acres of former farmland in the North Valley, according to the Ciudad Soil & Water Conservation District website.
"Partnering with the City of Albuquerque Open Space Division, the Ciudad Soil & Water Conservation District provides an annual report on some goals for the Candelaria Nature Preserve, including plans for soil health. The project is in the fourth year of its 20-year span. The 2023 report can be found on its website.
"The guided tours are led by volunteers from the Friends of the Candelaria Nature Preserve, like Ruth Salvaggio.
"'What we’re showing here is restoration,' Salvaggio said.
"One example of this restoration is the addition of logs, which were brought in to create habitat, Salvaggio said. This invites #wildlife to make use of the land again. She also said the nature preserve planted several varieties of plant life for #butterflies and created an entire field dedicated to #pollination.
"The process of rewilding at the Candelaria Nature Preserve entails “transitioning the Preserve from non-sustainable agriculture to a mosaic of habitats that will support diverse native wildlife: wet and dry areas, hedgerows, grasslands, upland #shrublands, #ConservationBuffers, and #forage for wildlife,' according to the Friends of Candelaria Nature Preserve’s website.
"Just because a species is non-native does not make it an invasive one, and some non-native species function to support restoration. The workers carefully considered the place of certain #InvasiveSpecies, such as #ElmTrees.
"'They provide a canopy for birds,' Salvaggio said. 'They’re serving a purpose.'
"However, part of the project is to prevent new elms from growing, according to Salvaggio.
"#Teff, a type of grass native to Ethiopia and similar to #millet and#quinoa, was implemented in the preserve. Teff roots are shallow and the plant dies upon releasing its seeds, meaning teff is beneficial to the soil, Salvaggio said. In this way, teff acts as a natural mulch and a '#NurseCrop' that will support native plants in the future.
"Many #NativePlants are found in the preserve, too, including #amaranth, #BlueGrama, #sacaton, #mesquite, #saltbrush and #nightshade.
"One of the destinations on the tour was the nursery, where many native plants begin their lives. Later, they are taken and planted in select areas, including the mosaics — plots designed to be flooded — Salvaggio said. Dispersed wildlife such as #Mesquitetrees and #SacatonGrass grows in these areas.
"The work takes place on plots of former farmland separated by historic #acequias. An end goal is to meld the former farm plot zones to allow for the cohesive spread of the wildlife and return the land to its pre-farmed state, Salvaggio said.
"Bringing the land to its #PreFarmed state also includes careful land #terraforming in select areas, Salvaggio said. This is meant to carve out the original, natural #arroyos of the area.
"The guided tours are currently the only way for members of the public to see the Candelaria Nature Preserve. However, anyone can volunteer at the preserve from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. every Monday and Friday."

Lentil, teff, and kale soup.
This turned out very well, which is good because I have a lot.

A very nice stew with patty-pan squash, new potatoes, a leek, tempeh, tomatoes, pecans, teff, and so on.
I use the recipe format because it's an efficient way to describe what I did, not to tell you what to do. This is improvised, so it's ready for adaptation.

My last two stew improvisations are the best yet — lucky, because today's batch is BIG.
The post includes a sidebar on why to rest garlic and cruciferous vegetables after chopping them up.

The work on the DC - quite descriptive - is published. Find it here: https://mastodon.social/@tinyspheresof/109681388538649498
The T cell work has not been published. I think I have a mostly complete manuscript that I could put on bioRXv. I'll discuss it with my former PI.
The short version: #IL6 and #TNF were very abundant, and were in the way of Treg-Teff interaction, #Teff not reacting to #Treg suppression anymore. Possibly partly explaining why drugs against these work in #arthritis.
USDA review: Teff modified by #geneediting for semi-dwarf stature is not subject to #biotechnology regulation. Shorter #teff is expected to resist to lodging that results in #yields losses up to 25%: https://www.danforthcenter.org/news/usda-clears-danforth-centers-genome-edited-teff/ #Ethiopia #foodsafety
Alas, after several days of #fermentation of #teff to make #Ethiopian #injera, it was doing really well until it started growing mold. Are there things we can do to make this less likely to happen? We were using the natural fermentation method, no added #yeast.

*Ethiopia: Dutch Company Using Scientific Jargon to Avoid Teff Patent Right Controversy*
""For someone from Europe, in a different continent, to come and say we patented teff and the copyright is ours" an Ethiopian Kassahun Gebrehana, owner of the Little Addis Café in Maboneng, Johannesburg, shakes his head […] "Have they been eating it for centuries? We have.""
