Heirlooms: Saving Humanity’s 10,000-year Legacy of Food
Amaranth
Now, from the post-neolithic point of view, these foods aren’t the “greatest” because we cultivated them with the advent of agriculture. This project is about documenting the “losers” of pre-industrial agriculture. But if we don’t track the history of what we did (to ourselves), we’ll almost certain repeat the problem again, a thousand or two thousand years later with the re-discovery of “ancient” grains our ancestors once ate, just as we have today done with grains like amaranth, Kamut, and spelt.
The Long Now Foundation is having a seminar to document these foods from our the earlier part of our current long-now:
Agricultural biodiversity is as much in need of defending as the world’s wildlife. Countless varieties of plants and animals were bred by the world’s peoples for talents specific to every soil, climate, and human culture. Most of them have been lost—their hard-won genetic sophistication extinguished. But many have survived, thanks to professional and amateur devotion, and they are wondrous—living embodiments of humanity’s deepest traditions.
Photojournalist Jim Richardson has been covering the agricultural beat for National Geographic since 1984. His spectacular photographs, and the stories he tells with them, are renowned.

In fact, stronger than ever.

Asian coleslaw
To continue with the Chinese New Year festivities, I’d like to share my Asian coleslaw recipe. It’s crunchy, filing, low calorie and delicious.
Although other more traditional recipes for Asian coleslaw aren’t terrible for you, my recipe is closer to clean and has even more flavor. I substituted ingredients like almond butter for peanut butter, honey for brown sugar, and low sodium soy for the regular version.
