Ancestral varieties of food, what do you plant?

Hello brother, sorry for the delay, this vegetable is amazing, it looks like what we call cauliflower, would it be a variety?

This one is called porongo, cariri, or gourd. It is a curcubitacea, from the same family as watermelon and pumpkin.

It was and is used to store water, cachaça, musical instrument, berimbal, bird house among others.
In addition to these uses, when cannabis was not banned here in Brazil, smokers used it to make bongs, and it is common to find someone on the street with this. In my profile, there is a photo of one of these smokers.
It can be eaten when it is immature.

Dude, did you visit my diary? The sativas I planted were rescued in the regions of northeastern Brazil. Undefined varieties, they are sold around with names like Rosa mango, black hair … I see Flowering and collecting information … I’d be happy to plant your creations here, if that’s what you said …

Cut the spices, onions, garlic, saffron.
Sauté in a skillet with coconut oil, or butter, or good oil.
Put the chopped “catuto” in the pan and sauté everything together with a pinch of salt.

It is…

@Foreigner , @saxo . Hello guys, very pretty, are they poppies? If yes, we have red here…

How do you consume them?

@Worcestershire_Farms , Cool man, is it a native variety? Do you cultivate them? How does it taste?

@anonymous4289 , Extremely intense my friend, but nature is worth the effort…

It’s great to have you here…

They are poppies yes.

I would never consume them because it is highly illegal to do so. But you can use the seeds for baking and I’ve heard anecdotally that you can collect the resin or make the heads into a tea.
