Yup not many people actually know what it looks like in the raw form it's usually in the spice isle you know that little yellow baggie of powder.

Well that there mealworm is the real bench staining deal my friend think earthy slightly nutty flavour and of course colours your dish brite yellow like the sun.
Really good for you too:D.

I always give the stuff away to whoever I can :)

Yeah, I always wonder about things like that
Cassave
Cashew
Olives
Someone must have done something totally wrong, mixed up ingredients or so, then got drunk, legless maybe, and hungry and ate those poisonous things and survived :)

Potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts? How do you trust something you just dug out of the dirt? @Donoroto hit the nail on the head.
 
Don't have a photo, but pretty sure the string beans, eggplant, and peppers are done after last night. The leafy greens and english peas in the ground level bed look like they made it, even though they looked VERY frozen this morning. The jury's still out on the stuff in the raised beds, though. Haven't set foot outside today other than the walk to/from the car for my epidural. Staying inside and off my feet today. Business as usual tomorrow, hopefully.

I'll get some photos tomorrow.
 
I'm not doing to well.
I seeded egg plants, got them germinated and planted them out.
Weather was grey, we had some rains and generally it cooked down.
Then suddenly we get bright skies again and 40 plus degree Centigrade.
So they wilted and some died. Despite giving plenty water. Same for some of my other plants.
Plus I cut something that cuts plants just about ground. I suspect some type of ant. And I don't really want to use any insecticides

Sounds like nematodes. Soil dwellers that will eat the bark and growth layer off a plant (which sometimes looks like they ate the whole plant) I thought we had 'em in our tomatoes last year, but only one type of tomatoes was showing the evidence. When the Romas were just about ready to pick, the plants suddenly died, and I found all the bark missing near the ground. Then I found a chipmunk hole. GRRRR. Same day, a red tail hawk saw the chipmunk out in the open. Sometimes, there is justice. For some reason, though, the chipmunks didn't touch the cherry or grape tomatoes, or the Big Boys. Very strange.
 
Not nematodes...
Got those as well & termites
But these plants are cut a couple of cm above soil level
 
If you don't have chipmunks, then maybe mice? Might be worth setting a trap or two.

We cook with the root regularly, it helps make one of the best chicken soups.

Sounds like cutworms. That's what they do. A wrap of aluminum foil, 3-4 cm below ground to 5-6 cm above stops them. Foil is easy here, but some other wrap might work as well.
 
Thanks Don, could well be!
Not ruling out ants as well as they nibble on my beans as well
