Can I taste between different species of sawdust baked into loaves of bread?

I finally went and did it. Finally decided to just straight up try eating the actual wood from actual trees - in the form of sawdust bread, that is.
In this episode I first try and see just how much sawdust I can bake into bread before it becomes noticeable and/or inedible, then having not suffered enough I decide to take things to the next level by blind taste testing six different species of sawdust loaves (after making lidded box out of the wood from those same six species, of course).
Please enjoy my suffering for your entertainment.

    Hi friends! A few updates now that it's been a couple weeks since I ate a bunch of a sawdust bread: •First, thanks for enjoying this like you are! I'm genuinely so thrilled you're all having as much fun with it as I'd hoped. What a stupid thing I did, lol. •No, it didn't kill me! I wasn't poisoned and I felt completely fine! I'd still not recommend making and eating sawdust bread (because why), but I'm doin' a-ok! •I actually hadn't heard of William Osman or seen his sawdust rice krispies video until getting comments about it here. I checked it out and he's great! It's a really great video! (If you've somehow seen mine but not his, go watch his! It's better than this one lol) Anyway, I genuinely wish I HAD seen it before recording this because I would've done things like add even more sawdust and had other people try the flavors of bread (in which case I would've shouted him out). But, no, the only people I 'stole' this idea from were the people who had to eat sawdust bread throughout history. Props to them. •I'm still VERY tempted to bake a full loaf of cedar bread, so I super appreciate all the comments about how to more effectively impart the flavor without over-doing the sawdust-ness. Stay tuned, I'd be surprised if this is my last "wood flavored bread" video. (Several of you have said western redcedar wood is toxic but I've not found any real evidence of that in my research, so feel free to point me to any research you've found that says it will indeed poison me). •I guess this is the point in the list where I shamelessly self-promote. Join the patreon! www.patreon.com/justinthetrees - come hang w us on the discord channel, get extra content, etc. I'm still building it out there a bit, so even more to come! Okay, thanks again!

    Sawdust has also historically been used by the people to extend their flour in times of hardship. My great grandmother did it during the great depression to keep her kids full. Yes it tastes awful and has no nutrition, but it does make you feel full, and allows you to use that same bag of flour for longer. She even thickened soups with a flour /sawdust mixture.

    A preferable method was mixing the flour with the dried and roasted phloem from the inside of tree bark. Unlike sawdust, it's actually somewhat nutritious. It was mainly used for bread but was also mixed into porridge or gruel, and supposedly adds a strong bitter flavor. The practice is at least three thousands years old, though likely older.

There is actually stories about eating the bark of the tree, as the texture resembled the local type of popular rye bread.

    this reminded me of videos about finnish pettuleipä - bark bread. In the past when flour was scarce they sometimes streched it by adding dried ground and roasted phloem (inner bark) of pine trees. You can now buy pine flour and add small amounts to baking for that piny woody flavour. Inner bark of pine trees contains a lot of nutrients (mainly vitamin C) so it has some nutritional value after all.

    Fun fact, Jacaratia spinosa has edible wood. However, this is more of a novelty. What isn't a novelty is cycad wood (from various species and genus'), which was traditionally fermented into bread in parts of Africa and turned into a cooking ingredient in the Pacific. Its only kinda sorta wood (its a so called "cambial variant," which means its structure is pretty unusual compared to the wood most plants make) but good enough for me. Also in Scandinavia "bark bread" is a traditional food, using the inner layer of the bark. Honestly some of these might be worth trying, Jacaratia will be hard to come by and cycads contain a poison which must be processed out correctly, but hey I mean it would be cool, perfect for this series of eating trees!

    Interesting things about all these trees and their foods; The Yacaratia tree (as the species is called in Argentina) has wood that it made of less than 10% cellulose, making it safe for consumption on its own. It's usually soaked in honey or syrup, then served as a delicacy in Argentinian restaurants. It also grows very fast. African cycad trees, also called "broodboom" or literally "bread tree", are all endangered from being used in traditional medicine or taken by collectors, therefore it is illegal to export commercially. The bread is made with the pith of the tree that is found in the center of the trunk. Traditionally, the pith was removed, wrapped in animal hide, and buried to ferment before kneading into dough. As for the poison, it's only present in the seeds inside the cones. Scandinavian bark bread was made in the medieval period but mostly is known for being made in times of famine. Pine bark would be stripped of its inner layer, then that would be dried, ground up, and added to the flour. This is the only part of the tree's wood that isn't made of cellulose, and should be digestible by humans, but it doesn't carry any nutritional value. Famine bread was also made with grainless husks and bone ash, and moss and lichen were eaten as cakes.

    As a Swede and I know atleast Finland and Norway has it aswell, there is an old and through different periods of times really widespread and common tradition of bark bread. So no sawdust but instead using the inner layer of bark and turning it into a powder from I believe mainly european red pine, but also birch and other local trees. For when times were bad or a harvest really bad. In Swedish it’s called “barkbröd”.

    I don't know much about sawdust bread, but I do know people around here in northern Europe used to mix their flour with tree bark, or rather the phloem from the inside of the bark. It wasn't so much a scam by bakers as it was a way for poor people to get more bread out of it, especially when there was risk of famine due to bad harvests. Though, apparently it does provide some nutrients and is a source of vitamin C. Supposedly it gives the bread a very bitter taste. The most common species used were pine, birch, linden, elm and ash. In parts of Norway it was such a common practice that linden trees almost went extinct.

    Or just smoke the butter (or whatever fatty spread you're into) and smear that on the toasted bread of your choosing. I could see that working well on an English muffin, maybe next to or beneath a ham steak. Heck I bet if you melted it on pancakes with a really good maple syrup drizzled over top you'd be onto something. Or you could bake it into some shortbread cookies to kind of mimic the rosemary shortbread cookie recipe Chef John has. If you wanted to be really cruel to your friends you could even make brownies with it and tell them it was THC butter; they may or may not notice. Lots of fun directions to take this idea. I do have to wonder if this kind of application would trigger the allergies of those sensitive to cedar pollen, though.

    fun fact - i've read that miniscule amounts of sawdust are sometimes added to swiss cheese, because as food standards improve and the milk used in production of the cheese is almost 100% pure/clean, the air that is released during fermentation inside the cheese, and which normally is the reason for the holes in swiss cheese, just escapes because its unable to set on any particles. back in the day when milk wasnt so clean, the random particles inside the milk would "catch" the released air forming air bubbles which would be the holes in the cheese. now that modern milk doesnt have these particles, they add them manually by adding tiny amounts of stuff like sawdust, to make the holes appear again

    Loved the video, but I immediately thought "breadbox" for the woodworking portion lol. Also, just looked it up, and when you said that the oak tasted like a toxic kind of bitter, you'd be correct. The tannins in the wood can cause damage to the respiratory and GI tracts, along with the kidneys. Obviously, the respiratory system damage would be from inhaling it, but you definitely shouldn't eat it. It clicked in my head when I remembered that oak is one of the tree species that you shouldn't harvest Chicken of the Woods from, as it can pick up some of those toxins and incorporate them into its fruiting body.

    You're right about particle size. While an interesting start, you should redo this with what's commonly called "wood flour" because it's literally just as fine. Though it should be said, many foods contain cellulose without issue, including your control bread as well as all fresh vegetables, as it's a main component of plant cell walls. In food science, it's commonly added to some foods as an anti-caking agent, such as with pre-shredded cheese. But obviously cellulose is a refined product that's ultimately a complex sugar we can't digest, where as wood flour will contain all the other constituent parts.

You will see noticeable decomposition of cellulose starting after 24hrs in water and bacteria will drastically speed things up. It's not fast but actually if the bread was left to ferment the acidic conditions created via fermentation plus the bacterial ROS (radical oxygen species) reactions would exponentially increase over time thus possibly creating better bread over time.
