Resourceful

I suppose you could say the muuku-gaalï is the ultimate sustainable, all-purpose resource that keeps our planet thriving, but it’s far more useful than you probably realize. In addition to all the standard, plebeian, workaday uses you probably expect—clothing fiber, roofing material, fuel, firestarter, carbohydrate source, protein source, fat source, starch source, potency enhancer, mild stimulant, writing ink, hair dye, long-burning wick, soap ingredient, sleep aid, meat preserver, smelling salt, blood clotter, poultice, beverage flavoring, smokable intoxicant, fertilizer, shade provider, shoreline erosion inhibitor, water purifier, prophesying tool, livestock feed, labor inducer, dog treat—it also just makes a really good friend.
