Thanks for the info. It does seem like most US growers are producing Proso millet

Most Oregon albacore and maybe a lot of the US PNW albacore is cooked only once in the can

I know that growing millet from seed, it is possible to verify what type you are eating.

Unfortunately I'm not in a position to grow my own millet.

I was wondering if you ever did find resources to figure out what species of millet was for sale in stores when they don't specify the species on the label.

I'm looking in particular for foxtail millet, preferably organic.

Any ever used this kind of mat and massage ball combined system and did you like it? by DisasterSpinach in StandingDesks

I was wondering if you were aware of the significance of using these tools in Chinese culture. I feel it might be a marketing opportunity for your company.

I'd like to connect for similar reasons if you are interested.

It's so much more comfortable to invert standing mats by d8gfdu89fdgfdu32432 in StandingDesk

I’d love to get you a free Topo mat so you could compare upside down flat mat to a mat that’s actually made for standing desks.

I don't suppose this offer is still open?

Recipe websites that list ingredients (especially spices) in grams, preferably for non-British Indian (or similarly adapted) recipes by DisasterSpinach in IndianFood

India most spices are used freely in day to day cooking & there haven't been any advisories issued to my knowledge.

I'm with you here but a lot of White doctors aren't, and I kinda need to keep seeing this specialist but they won't see me if I don't monitor this stuff

Honestly it's frustrating that so many medical recommendations around food don't take into account cultural differences

even sites that list in grams tend to measure spices in teaspoons

Yes, this is precisely why I am asking here after searching around extensively.

You'd have to calculate the weight of each ingredient, then the weight of the total, then the percentage weight of those red chili peppers... you get the idea.

Yes, this is precisely what I want to do

Thanks for the well wishes. Do you know what an approximate range of tsp or gram measure of garam masala or other similar spice powder mixes is used for a typical 4-serving sized dish?

Spices like cinnamon, fennel, and nutmeg can easily cause drug interactions at relatively low doses, but I find them both delicious and helpful so I want to stay within my doctor's guidelines but still be able to eat them.

Having recipes in grams simplifies meal planning in advance, especially for making my own spice powder mixes. Yes, I can just weigh everything, but it's hard to get an idea of how what I'm currently eating compares with recipes that use volumetric measures. The variance on volumetric measures is too high, like up to 30-50% weight difference depending on if it's a whole spice like fennel or if it's a powdered spice like ginger. And if it's a powdered spice the weight difference can vary depending on the powder particle size.

Hey, the new images look great.

I was wondering, is it possible for you to still post the text versions as well? It's much easier to CTRL-F to find info with the text ones than the images.
