IMO rice substitutes

I want to collect my first imo this year and I’m wondering what other food sources could you use other then rice. My thought process is if you want to collect native microorganisms then I want a food source then grown locally with the endophytes that  are native to my area  Southwestern Ontario Canada

one of the main teachings of KNF is to use what is available to you in your area so a substitute can be used for rice to collect IMOs ,what that exact thing is in your area you will need to test out ….since this would be your first IMO collection i recommend getting some rice and following the proper steps so you have a  control to compare to …… as for what to look for when picking a substitute we need to look at the properties of the rice and why its used …. rice is a very simple starch ,white rice is used the hulls have been removed so its in its most basic starch form ,when cooked correctly it has a dry texture so the grains do not clump tightly together ,this allows air space between the grains for the fungi ….. if there is a grain you can grow in your area that fits these properties  then that is a good one to test and with using a control you will be able to compare if it does as good ,better or worse then rice

 

one thing i think sometimes is …if the zombie apocalypse started today would i be able to grow food tomorrow… and with the teachings of KNF and Drake the answer is yes ..everything i need to grow food is provided to me by the world just outside my door ,i just have to know how to use it

 

Happy Experimenting
