The linden trees are getting ready to bloom, another treat for all the bees. What a bonanza of perfume we've had lately: roses, privet, mock orange, lilac, azaleas, just a delight.

@carolannie This is the first I've read about making a type of chocolate from linden seeds! I found a video here that shows the process:

On the other hand, this woman had no luck making chocolate, but she highly recommends young linden leaves as a slightly sweet salad green.

I only knew about making tea from the flowers!

@PapyrusBrigade I suppose it's chocolate like carob is chocolate. But what a wealth of food out there. It reminds me of the people lost in the jungle (I am not sure about why they were there) who nearly starved to death because they didn't know any of the edible plants. I'll have to find that story sometime
