I stand corrected!  Interesting.

I can't remember now.  Do you consider the stuff paleo?  It is in a class of foods that have been consumed for long enough and by a large enough percentage of the population to be paleo?  How many calories can be derived from this foodstuff?  Or is it used as something more than food?

And what of the potential psychotropic effects I asked about yesterday?
