Elm bark can indeed be ground into flour, which many rural people eat when they are poor. After scraping the old bark of the outer layer of elm, the white fibrous substance in the inner layer is taken out and ground into fine powder, which can be eaten together with sorghum powder, corn flour, wild vegetables and other ingredients. It's very sticky and can stick those ingredients together. The ground elm bark tastes slightly sweeter and tastes better. In the past, when there was no food in poor years, people often ground elm bark to eat. With sorghum flour, add water and flour, and wrap jiaozi. After finishing, the taste and taste are quite good. But with the improvement of living standards, elm bark has been eaten by no one, so the old man said that elm bark can be ground into flour to eat. Many people don't believe it and think it's fake, but it's true.

In the past, people's living standards were relatively low and life was hard, especially in rural areas. Although farmers planted crops, most of them sold money after harvest, leaving only a little for themselves. At that time, the rural pasta was mainly sorghum flour and corn flour, which was relatively loose and not as soft and sticky as wheat flour. So most people who can eat wheat flour are wealthy families, so farmers at that time thought of a way to grind elm bark into powder and cook it with these sorghum flour and corn flour to make these flour as thick as wheat flour. But as for the taste, I think it will be very bad.

Modern living standards have improved a lot, and people have lived a relatively affluent life. Eating a bowl of wheat flour is no longer a luxury, so it is rare to see someone grinding elm bark to cook noodles in rural areas. The whole process of grinding elm bark is very hard, and it takes a long time to grind it into powder. If the grinding is not fine enough, it will be difficult to swallow. In addition, the elm bark is cooked into noodles, and you will know what it tastes like after a little thought. Anyway, I think it will stink and taste terrible.
