Hahahaha, this podi surprises me. I have read the recipes of your other podis, and I find them very interesting and delicious, but in this one you have not wasted anything, since you include marijuana stems and seeds. Yes, I had heard of the butter they make by flavoring it with marijuana leaves, but this recipe you present is surprising and new to me. Well, I like your post because you always give them a context, which gives the recipe understanding and emotionality, in addition, you put the correct amounts and give a very good explanation of its preparation, this is essential; and the photos that are always very good. A big greeting.

Jajajaja, este podi me sorprende. He leído las recetas de tus otros podis, y me parecen muy interesantes y deliciosas, pero en este no has desaprovechado nada, pues incluyes tallos y semillas de marihuana. Sí había oído de la mantequilla que hacen saborizándola con hojas de marihuana, pero esta receta que presentas es sorprendente y nueva para mí. Bueno, tu post me gusta porque siempre les das un contexto, lo que le aporta comprensión y emocionalidad a la receta, además, colocas las cantidades correctas y das una muy buena explicación de su preparación, esto es fundamental; y las fotos que siempre son muy buenas. Un gran saludo.

Thank you for the kind words, and I guess as you know all too well because Venezuela is in the middle of a long economic crisis, it's important to find edible things for free. Our economic crisis in Suriname is not as bad as your situation in Venezuela, but our personal financial situation necessitates that we forage to survive. Whether it be cassava leaves, pumpkin shoots, or even ganja stems, we try and not let anything go to waste.

Out of curiosity, is there a particular fruit or vegetable overlooked by Venezuelans as food? Here we have a lot of noni trees, and the locals don't use the fruit at all. It is a very powerful health tonic when fermented. I bet you have noni trees up there too.

Hugs from Suriname!!

There are some plants that are not used optimally, for example, the yucca leaves I was unaware of, and like me, many Venezuelans lack that broad gastronomic culture. In these last 21 years, as a result of the economic crisis, certain foods have been rediscovered or understood to be usable. There is a fruit that I know as chestnut (Castanea sativa), which here is not used to the maximum as it should be. Tamarind, which is very abundant, is only consumed in juices and sweets. There is a tree called carob (Ceratonia siliqua), which I know is consumed as food in other southern countries, but here it is used as feed for livestock.

Likewise, cacti should be used as is done in Mexico, but they are not consumed regularly either. There are specific, autochthonous tubers, whose consumption is limited to small geographic areas. Towards the Amazon, the tribes that still exist in that region, do make the most of their natural resources, however, it is an endemic knowledge that rarely comes out of a very specific niche. That is why I am interested in knowing and transmitting this knowledge to all people.

Unfortunately, I don't have noni plants, I live in a very hot area (Venezuelan plains), I do not have water in my home and it is very difficult for me to supply the vital liquid to my crops, which is why I limit myself in the amount of species available, in addition, my physical space is about 350-400 m2 (I have not measured it), so the area is small. I do do my best to produce some food.

Thanks for your post and comments, I love learning about other cultures. A hug.
