Shaped like multiplicating yeast cells, the sourdough brioche was produced without egg, milk or butter which were swapped for oat cream, walnut oil and aquafaba<ref>The water you get from cooking dry beans</ref>.

Species have cooperated together for millions of years, and we are here thanks to it. | |||
For example, plants were able to develop themselves on land thanks to Fungi, which is able to digest rocks and turn it into soil. The tendrils of the fungi (it’s “roots”) called hyphae extends into the solid rock, extracts vital mineral for plant growth such as calcium and then trades it for the plant’s sugars. It is this calcium that we will find later on in our bones.<br> | For example, plants were able to develop themselves on land thanks to Fungi, which is able to digest rocks and turn it into soil.

Note that the black brioche is produced without milk, butter or eggs. These ingredients have been replaced here with oat milk, walnut oil and aquafaba, the water you get from cooking beans. And the bread and cheese are here served with crystalized sage. Sage can be used as an antidote to protect bread from mold. Because plants do collaborate with fungi, but not always. | Note that the black brioche is produced without milk, butter or eggs.
