Can you tell me about any lesser-known local fruits or vegetables in your area that you think more people should discover? - eviltoast

I gotta give it to mulberries, don’t get enough attention!

The buds of the flower Bauhinia variegata are both cooked amd used for pickles, spectacular stuff.

    While sugar beet is hardly unknown, try Zuckerrübensirup if you’re near Germany, a black-ish sirup made from them. You can usually also get it in the Netherlands and sometimes in Denmark at least.

    There are similar products in other countries, but they lack the distinct taste the German variant has that makes it such an awesome spread! And no, it has nothing to do with Marmite, which is a good thing.
