The #Seeds and #Synergies is a gathering that aims to bring together community members, growers, farmers, and farmers to be, facilitators, and partners from racialized groups to reflect on the role of #CulturallyRelevantCrops and #LandAccess in shaping the access of these groups to locally grown, healthy and nutritious foods, education, employment opportunities, income, and belonging to the land, to themselves and their communities.

For the past five years, #IyéCreative has been working with community members and local farmers to learn about cultural crops – plant relatives that carry deep meaning for our food, health, and traditions on Coast Salish lands. We’ve also been pushing for fairer land policies so more people can grow the foods and medicines that matter to them.

#CulturalFoods aren’t just products on a market, or grocery store shelf. They’re living connections that tie us to land, spirit, and each other.

We are inviting you to help us make this story come alive!

🥖 Whole vs. refined grains? As an RDN, I say it's not either/or—it’s balance.

Whole grains support heart & gut health, but refined grains play a role in cultural traditions & accessibility. Honor health and heritage.

#RDNsLead #WholeGrains #NutritionEquity #CulturalFoods https://www.theguardian.com/wellness/2025/mar/24/are-whole-grains-healthy

Are whole-grain foods really healthier?

Health officials love whole grains. But are they really superior to refined-grain foods like white rice, bread and pasta?

Our process photos are on my Mom's phone so I'll upload those later in week. This is what they look like - after fermentation for over 10 months.

My first batch of #fermented #SourPlums is done & jarred. There's over 300 in this jar. Starting next batch in 2 weeks, with some of my yellow #plums this time. Preserved with simple coarse salt & cane sugar.
