Culinary ash, typically made from wood like juniper, is used in Native American communities as a source of nutrients like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and zinc.

Tip
Culinary ash is the result of burning juniper tree branches. It adds a subtle smoky, bitter flavor to dishes it's used in. Buy it online, along with blue cornmeal, at shimaofnavajoland.com.
For the best flavor, toast nuts before using in a recipe. To toast chopped nuts, place in a small dry skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 2 to 4 minutes.
