My uncle used to make maple sawdust candies using maple syrup vanilla and pine tree sawdust. Usually right after Christmas, he'd cut up the tree, and save the sawdust to make the candy, it was actually like a 50/50 of sawdust to maple syrup, and they were good.
Make sure you know what kind of tree you are using. I'm from the Adirondacks which is literally named after the regions local native tribes own word for bark eater because they ate the inner bark of some pine trees in the are. Douglass fir for example is apparently super toxic
Watching this at work, I asked my friend, who happens to work here, how much sawdust he thought you could put in. He asked if the question is how much saw dust before they notice something is wrong, or how much for them to know that it's sawdust.
Zane Zuccaro I doubt it Edit: finished the video and saw they used wood flour, not the regular old saw dust I was thinking of, so yea rice is definitely cheaper
Every single illness and disease you ever had was dealt with by the immune system. You only get truly sick when your immune fails due to bad diet and substance abuse. But that takes months/years of neglect towards the body signals.
I'm the captain now that’s not the point, if someone gives you something filled with cyanide or some other shot you’re immune System isn’t going to deal with that lol. We get it you’re 13 but think you’re a scientist
Adding sawdust to make flour etc go further was apparently pretty common in days of old in famine times. Victorian England they used to add chalk to bread to make it heavier and whiter which was the two indicators of 'quality' back in those days. And some added so much chalk that you could starve to death while feeling full cause there was so much chalk in it. This brought about the first food adulteration laws which banned adding of chalk (and no doubt other stuff) into bread.
Whenever you see "cellulose" in the ingredients list of a food item, this is more or less what it is. Of course, food manufacturers generally don't put more than maybe ~10% cellulose in a product and generally much less than that in most things. More than that can really mess with taste and texture. It's basically used to give some structure/texture to packaged foods so they don't simply just fall apart or become a clumped mass by the time you go to eat them. A primary example is that powdered parmesan cheese you get at the grocery. Cellulose is added to keep it from clumping up into a hard mass that won't shake out and also helps keep moisture levels down inside of the can. It doesn't hurt you, it just goes right through your body. Of course, eating too much of it can act as a laxative, so maybe stay away from the 100% sawdust rice crispy treats.
Wtf?! Is this really normal for you? I am from Europe and never saw "Cellulose" being added to anything. Just looked up different brands for this kind of cheese and none of these, not even the cheapest ones have any other ingredients than the cheese itself and lysosyme from eggs as preservative.
"Not EXPECTED to be toxic for ingestion" it's not expected because they never thought anyone would actually eat it lol These 2 may be the reason we'll probably be seeing "warning contains wood" on containers of sawdust soon lol
Wood is not toxic to the human stomach it’s just hard to digest. Back in the old days (yes I’m going to go into religion just to show my point) during the Willie and Martin handcart company (or whatever it’s called) they ran out of food in the middle and kids resorted to chewing on leather off of boots or twigs to get their nutrients while yes it hard for us to digest other animals like deer and elk have stomachs made to handle that stuff
@@tnt9288 Yeah i was going to point that out that as well. Shoes, tree bark, grass, saw dust, they would add what they could to add something to the juices to make some sort of soup. There's been worse, but they did die from those, XD. It's surprising what people will do to survive, and survive, adaptability.
William, Sawdust is fine wood, and you basically glued them all together into a single brick, you just reverted it back to being just a piece of wood again.
I mean the 100% one getting harder the more you chew it makes a lot of sense, because the marshmallow is the only thing that would have give, and your saliva and the chewing is getting rid of the marshmallow, so the more you chew on it, the more it just becomes straight up wood
Not exactly this is finely ground wood flour. It’s already lost almost all the structural bonds, the sugar is all that’s holding it together. My best guess is it started off pretty dry and when they starting chewing it up the sugar gets a bit tackier but it should even dissolve all the way and crumble apart like the original wood flour. The funny thing is there already is a ton of wood in food as filler it’s usually listed as cellulose in the ingredients and people don’t even notice. Makes me wonder if William is aware the food companies have already done research on how much wood you can add to food without people noticing and then used that research to put wood in food lmfao. It’s added to reduce calories and increase fiber ends up in health food or just cheap food

@@guy2574 huh. That's actually a word. I was all ready to rip into you for correcting someone with a non-word, and then I googled it. Learn something new every day.
Well no, the posit is how much volume of rice crispy can you replace with sawdust, mass is not taken into account. There is 400 ml of "grain" in each bar, that's what is being changed, it's percentage of grain as sawdust not percentage of the bar as sawdust or else marshmallows would have to be replaced too and 100% would just be a pile of wood.
@@loyalty5207 I'm honestly not sure how to reply to this. Marshmallows have volume too. Mass% is an infinitely better measure of solutions, and the composition of the solution doesnt change when you change the measuring system. They could have very easily used the same ratios as in the video and labeled them with mass% if they had just measured each of the masses.

Coming from a country with a high poverty level in the past, my grandparents told me that during a famine they experienced, they had to eat the outer skin of a tree truck, which contains nutrients, but they wouldn’t eat wood since wood cannot be digested so gives no energy.
Well, technically when Germany invaded Leningrad in WW2, Russians would take the wheat based paste that held up their wallpaper and make wheat, then bread from it, and since the sawdust had no preservatives then, in was okay. Wood is digestible, just not well. So who wants wallpaper bread and sawdust!
Pettuleipä is a bread that was eaten many times in the history in Finland. (Pettu = Petäjä = Mänty = Pine tree) The new growth of a pine tree was mixed with the flours during the time of famine so there would be more food to eat. Like during 1866-1868 about 10% of the population in Finland died to hunger and diseases that spread and turned fatal easily in the malnourished population.

Bark bread seems to be a primarily Scandinavian tradition.[1] Mention of it is found in medieval literature and may have an even older tradition among the Sami people.[2] During the 18th and early 19th century Northern Europe experienced several very bad years of crop failure, particularly during the Little Ice Age of the mid-18th century. The grain harvest was badly affected, and creative solutions to make the flour last longer were introduced. In 1742, samples of "emergency bread" were sent from Kristiansand, Norway, to the Royal Administration in Copenhagen, among them bark bread, bread made from grainless husks and bread made from burned bones.[3] During the Napoleonic Wars, moss too was used for human consumption.[4] The last time bark bread was used as famine food in Norway was during the Napoleonic Wars. The introduction of the potato as a staple crop gave the farmers alternative crops when grain production failed, so that bark bread and moss cakes were no longer needed.[5] In Northern Sweden, traces of Sami harvest of bark from Scots pine are known from the 1890s, and in Finland pettuleipä (literally "pinewood-bark bread") was produced as ersatz bread during the Finnish Civil War of 1918.[2][6] Examples of production Finger sized twigs and branches were collected from deciduous trees and shrubs, and the bark split and the inner bark (the phloem and sometimes the vascular cambium) collected while still fresh. The yellow or green inner bark (depending on tree species) was dried over open fire, in an oven or dried in the sun for a few days. A mortar or mill was used to grind the bark to a fine powder to add to the flour. The dried bark pieces could also be added directly to the grain during milling. The bread was then baked the normal way adding yeast and salt. Bark bread did not leaven as quickly as normal bread due to bark content. The more bark to flour, the slower the leavening. Bark bread was therefore often made as a flatbread. The bark flour could also be used for porridge.[7] Bark bread as food The bark component was usually from deciduous trees like elm, ash, aspen, rowan or birch, but scots pine and Iceland moss (sometimes named "bread moss" in Norwegian) are mentioned in historic sources. The inner bark is the only part of a tree trunk that is actually edible, the remaining bark and wood is made up of cellulose which animals, including humans, cannot digest. The dried and ground inner bark was added in proportions like 1/4th to 1/3rd "bark flour" to the remaining grain flour. Erik Pontoppidan, the Bishop of Bergen, Norway, in the mid 18th century, recommended using elm, as it helped the often crumbly bark bread hold together better.[8] The bark will, however, add a rather bitter taste to the bread, and give particularly white bread an unappetizing grey-green hue. Another problem is that the yeast cannot break down the ground bark and the bread will not leaven properly and be hard and not hold together well. Though bark today is sometimes added to pastry as a culinary curiosity, bark bread was considered an emergency food, and as is common with such food, phased out as soon as the availability of grain improved. The bark bread was seen as nutritionally deficient, more as "stomach filler" than as actual sustenance. Both the bishop Pontoppidan and others blamed the high mortality during the famine of the 1740s on the "unhealthy bark bread" and general lack of food.[3][8] Among the Sami however, the bark and bark bread made from Scots pine served as an important source of vitamin C.[2]

@@_Mirc_ do you have a deficiency?
0:46 Fun fact: We eat cinnamon as a spice. The part we use is the bark of a tree. So yes, trees *are* edible
Edit: I have confirmed that my final decision will be to say that cinnamon is *edible*, not *eatable* because I no longer think that ‘eatable’ is a word.
Mr TheMan eatable*
@@guy2574 huh. That's actually a word. I was all ready to rip into you for correcting someone with a non-word, and then I googled it.
Learn something new every day.
In my language we literally call cinnamon, tree bark. Of course there is another word for actual tree bark but that doesn't matter.
Smeek well that makes sense because cinnamon *is* tree bark
LiliEriNySka well done, next I’m gonna hear someone who eats the whole cinnamon tree
Those % sawdust were actually a lot higher since it looked like you were going by volume instead of mass.
Thank you
Well no, the posit is how much volume of rice crispy can you replace with sawdust, mass is not taken into account. There is 400 ml of "grain" in each bar, that's what is being changed, it's percentage of grain as sawdust not percentage of the bar as sawdust or else marshmallows would have to be replaced too and 100% would just be a pile of wood.
@@loyalty5207 I'm honestly not sure how to reply to this. Marshmallows have volume too. Mass% is an infinitely better measure of solutions, and the composition of the solution doesnt change when you change the measuring system. They could have very easily used the same ratios as in the video and labeled them with mass% if they had just measured each of the masses.

Coming from a country with a high poverty level in the past, my grandparents told me that during a famine they experienced, they had to eat the outer skin of a tree truck, which contains nutrients, but they wouldn’t eat wood since wood cannot be digested so gives no energy.

Well, technically when Germany invaded Leningrad in WW2, Russians would take the wheat based paste that held up their wallpaper and make wheat, then bread from it, and since the sawdust had no preservatives then, in was okay. Wood is digestible, just not well. So who wants wallpaper bread and sawdust!

Hahaha lol actually did
Aztec chewing gum was made from sap
Pettuleipä is a bread that was eaten many times in the history in Finland. (Pettu = Petäjä = Mänty = Pine tree) The new growth of a pine tree was mixed with the flours during the time of famine so there would be more food to eat. Like during 1866-1868 about 10% of the population in Finland died to hunger and diseases that spread and turned fatal easily in the malnourished population.

Bark bread seems to be a primarily Scandinavian tradition.[1] Mention of it is found in medieval literature and may have an even older tradition among the Sami people.[2]
During the 18th and early 19th century Northern Europe experienced several very bad years of crop failure, particularly during the Little Ice Age of the mid-18th century. The grain harvest was badly affected, and creative solutions to make the flour last longer were introduced. In 1742, samples of "emergency bread" were sent from Kristiansand, Norway, to the Royal Administration in Copenhagen, among them bark bread, bread made from grainless husks and bread made from burned bones.[3] During the Napoleonic Wars, moss too was used for human consumption.[4]
The last time bark bread was used as famine food in Norway was during the Napoleonic Wars. The introduction of the potato as a staple crop gave the farmers alternative crops when grain production failed, so that bark bread and moss cakes were no longer needed.[5] In Northern Sweden, traces of Sami harvest of bark from Scots pine are known from the 1890s, and in Finland pettuleipä (literally "pinewood-bark bread") was produced as ersatz bread during the Finnish Civil War of 1918.[2][6]
Examples of production
Finger sized twigs and branches were collected from deciduous trees and shrubs, and the bark split and the inner bark (the phloem and sometimes the vascular cambium) collected while still fresh. The yellow or green inner bark (depending on tree species) was dried over open fire, in an oven or dried in the sun for a few days. A mortar or mill was used to grind the bark to a fine powder to add to the flour. The dried bark pieces could also be added directly to the grain during milling. The bread was then baked the normal way adding yeast and salt.
Bark bread did not leaven as quickly as normal bread due to bark content. The more bark to flour, the slower the leavening. Bark bread was therefore often made as a flatbread. The bark flour could also be used for porridge.[7]
Bark bread as food
The bark component was usually from deciduous trees like elm, ash, aspen, rowan or birch, but scots pine and Iceland moss (sometimes named "bread moss" in Norwegian) are mentioned in historic sources. The inner bark is the only part of a tree trunk that is actually edible, the remaining bark and wood is made up of cellulose which animals, including humans, cannot digest. The dried and ground inner bark was added in proportions like 1/4th to 1/3rd "bark flour" to the remaining grain flour. Erik Pontoppidan, the Bishop of Bergen, Norway, in the mid 18th century, recommended using elm, as it helped the often crumbly bark bread hold together better.[8]
The bark will, however, add a rather bitter taste to the bread, and give particularly white bread an unappetizing grey-green hue. Another problem is that the yeast cannot break down the ground bark and the bread will not leaven properly and be hard and not hold together well. Though bark today is sometimes added to pastry as a culinary curiosity, bark bread was considered an emergency food, and as is common with such food, phased out as soon as the availability of grain improved.
The bark bread was seen as nutritionally deficient, more as "stomach filler" than as actual sustenance. Both the bishop Pontoppidan and others blamed the high mortality during the famine of the 1740s on the "unhealthy bark bread" and general lack of food.[3][8] Among the Sami however, the bark and bark bread made from Scots pine served as an important source of vitamin C.[2]
