@jmax@mastodon.social The question is: Are they actually dead at that point? What constitutes death for a plant? It's not lack of brain activity. Warning: Go too far down this road and you realize that the #potatoes that will happily begin growing shoots if you leave them in the sack for too long are alive and screaming when you drop them into boiling water. https://doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190687724.003.0010 After all, part of the point of #cooking is to kill otherwise still-alive organisms before eating. @cstross@wandering.shop #ValentinesDay #biology #botany

Michigan potatoes can now be shipped to South Korea after nearly 20-year effort. Which is good, I guess, but they're probably stale by now https://www.potatonewstoday.com/2026/01/30/michigan-chip-potatoes-can-now-be-shipped-to-south-korea-after-nearly-20-year-effort/?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark #food #agriculture #potatoes #interesting #Michigan #SouthKorea
