Comment on How Tortillas Lost Their Magic
JustAnIdiotPlsIgnore@lemmy.world 1 day agoI don’t need to check out the differences in other foods because that isn’t relevant to this discussion. It may be relevant but then you would need to provide evidence of that connection, when it would be probably easier to cite the original source they spoke of, instead of having to provide two different sets of data.
I’m also curious how the degradation of cornmeal even happened, which I’m sure this study would touch on.

There are a few heirloom plants that bear fruit with more intense flavor than industrial crops, which is a pretty well known fact if you are into food as a business/ home cook/ attend farmers market etc

Like this is common knowledge, it’s specifically selected for flavor and grown in different ways. Not sure why you think one plant is going to be the same as another variety of the plant.
