What a wonderful article , beauty in the eyes of the beholder, and one desiring the original, and more natural process of nixtamalization with wood ash.
I live in rural western Piedmont, North Carolina on land with many different hardwoods and just as you have mentioned, have a desire to experiment with what wood ash imparts what taste and nutrition.
I found an old paper that listed mineral content of various woods in North Carolina, with eastern dogwood, redbud and tulip poplar having the highest mineral content thou the list was not very inclusive.
The experiment has just begun , I have a small dedicated woodstove . I will burn different woods, using fine wood shavings for kindling and no paper, cardboard, or other artificial starters for clean ash. Any more wood ash information you might have I would greatly appreciate if you would share and I will do the same as I make progress in this experiment..
I’m happy I found your article. Thank you, Respectfully Hunter
