Every dust is sawdust after you see it.

    I'm old enough to have a now-adult son who was dumb enough to try it. Although, at the time, I didn't know what he was up to, so I just told him "it's not sweet, the only reason you think it sweet is because it's always mixed with sugar." Fortunately, he didn't take much of it.

    If sawdust made my yeasted enriched dough taste awesome I'd be putting it on there too.

    Yeah that kid is probably 45 today. By the way I love that he's never been cropped out of the meme through god knows how many iterations because his facial expression is the real punchline of the image: Clearly trolling and barely concealing the fact.

    Tastes good atop of arabica bean soup and foamed lactase.

    edit: grammatical correct word to use here was "lactation" or "lactose product".

    foamed lactase.

    Isn't that the thing that digests milk, but not milk? You can buy little lactase pills at the pharmacy.

    Opps. You are correct.

    Lactase, is an enzyme that helps break down lactose into its component parts for digestion. (Wiki)

    I guess I was trying to use the verb form "lactate" for a science-y term for milk.

    Well, actually... it's ground into a powder, rather than the byproduct of sawing. I don't think it counts.

    Shredded cheese has cellulose (basically sawdust). It’s added to keep the cheese from sticking together. Or that’s my understanding.

    It's actually potato starch.

    Sawdust isn't just cellulose. Wood is a matrix of cellulose fibers bound together by a tougher compound called lignin. While lignin isn't particularly toxic, you wouldn't want to eat it.

    Fun fact, a lot of the process of making paper is for removing the lignin, only the cellulose is useful for making paper. And grasses like bamboo have a higher ratio of cellulose to lignin, so it's better for making paper

    Its not always potato starch though.

    I mostly know this because my daughter is allergic to potatos so we have to only get certain brands of cheese.

    This might be the worse allergy I can think of. I didn’t know anyone had this allergy. I am so very sorry to hear this.

    Oh its been worse. But at the moment its become down to potato and lettuce. Its all part of her Mastcell related to EDS. Ten years ago when she was in High School basically the only only thing she could and did eat was plain chicken and plain eggs. At this point, with medications, she can mostly eat normal, aside from the potato and lettuce.

    Does that mean sawdust isn't unhealthy to eat?

  • source

    Depending on where it came from, and what wood, I wouldn't be surprized if it was outright healthy. Tons of fiber, plus dietary sources of lignans are rare.

    It's actually used a lot in food, along with other agricultural waste materials. You'll find it listed in ingredients as cellulose. It's processed to hell and indigestible, so it doesn't really do much nutritionally beyond adding a bit of dietary fiber.

    A bit of instant coffee in the bottom of a bowl.

    Add 120g of frozen blueberries.

    Add a sprinkling of roasted cashews.

    Add some whole milk. (Or, heavy cream if you're feeling thin that day.)

    Top with a generous poof of cinnamon powder, and a tiny bit of sugar.

    Stir and enjoy.

    Pay attention to how often you see "cellulose" as a listed ingredient. That's also usually processed wood pulp.

    That cheap powdery parmesan often found in pizza places? Also sawdust.

    It gets extra funny when you see cellulose listed on something with artificial cinnamon flavoring.

    It's not sawdust. Some might be derived from wood but it's just cellulose and does not contain lignin, which is what differentiates wood from other plant matter. Chemically, it's basically the same as any other plant starch.

    Oh yeah? Well technically some really expensive coffee brands that people pay a lot for have coffee beans that went through the digestive systems of lemur-lookalike creatures, so you're paying tons to drink poo water.

    Also bananas and tomatoes are berries.

    It's not really that weird, root beer used to be made using sassafras bark and yeah that's toxic in large amounts too.

    Also fun fact, you can eat the inner bark of most pine trees, particularly white pines. It doesn't taste great but it could easily be a source of food in an emergency.
