Every dust is sawdust after you see it.

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

    Tastes good atop of arabica bean soup and foamed lactase.

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

    It blows my mind that cinnamon trees are a real thing. I can go walk through a cinnamon forest!? Wtf, how is that real? That's some CandyLand/Narnia shit.

    Because our water is basically all dihydrogen monoxide at this point. We're so fucked.

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

    As a forager I don't see anything wrong with eating a tree... As long I'm 200% sure what kind tree I'm eating.

    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.

    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
