Ask your plant auntie!

Slide 1 reads “Hey auntie, why do they say camas is an anti-diabetic food?” White background slide with the hey plant auntie cartoon brown auntie w blue shirt and purple bandana holding a potted plant, the feed out people project camas logo in the upper right corner, a pink speech bubble contains the text.

Slide 2 has a photo background of camas and a speech bubble from the plant auntie that reads “camas is a root” and then continues on to say, “Camas is considered anti-diabetic because it does not raise blood sugar and supports healthy flora in the gut. Camas is high in fiber and may not be as easily digestible tor people who arent amiliar with the nutritious root. Lewis and clark were malnourished and meek along their journey which caused them to have a bad reaction to the camas, resulting in bad bouts of indigestion, vomiting and diarrhea.” A white UPRISE Collective logo is centered on the bottom.

Hey Plant Auntie!

Slide 2 has the brown Auntie in the left corner with the feed our people text logo w a hand drawn camas plant next to it. The background is a photo of the horsetail plant and the text bubble reads: Horsetail promotes hair growth primarily through its exceptionally high silica content (up to 10%) which strengthens hair strands, reduces breakage and improves elasticity. It stimulates collagen production, improves scalp circulation and possesses antioxidant properties that protect follicles leading to stronger healthier hair.
