yuckwheat stem

Children cry at the crisp snip of a yuckwheat stem, as they have for hundreds of years. They bawl, and flail, and writhe from their mothers' grasps, deaf to reassurances of the plant's medical potency. Snipped and crushed, the stem tastes acidic on their tongues and their faces contort in children's agony. But they sleep better at night, so their mothers say.

Perfect
It tastes disgustingly bitter.

— upon consuming
