'''Buckwheat''' is an [[aboveground]] [[crop]]. It can either be [[milling|milled]] into [[flour|buckwheat flour]] or [[brewing|brewed]] into [[alcohol|buckwheat beer]].

Some [[dwarves]] [[Preferences|like]] buckwheat for its ''beer''.

Note that this plant, along with the tomato, is only found in worlds with poles and a Medium or Large size, since it's unique to the Tropical Dry Broadleaf forest biome which only generates under those conditions due to a bug.

'''Borax''' is an unremarkable white stone which can be found in large quantities within [[rock salt]] and in small quantities within [[gypsum]].

Unlike real life, Borax can '''NOT''' be used as [[flux]] in game.

==Real life==
In real-life, borax is used as powder to either protect wood or is used as a [[flux]] while forging iron among many other uses (borax is a great aid for hot-forging two metals, for example it is needed to forge "damascus steel").

'''Muck root''' is an [[tile_attributes|aboveground]] [[crop]]. It can be [[food|eaten]] raw, [[cook|cooked]], or [[brewer|brewed]] into [[Alcohol|swamp whiskey]]. However, it is not as [[value|delicious]] as any of the [[underground]] crops. Muck root has [[seed]]s and can be [[farm]]ed, and it takes about 25 days to grow.

Some [[dwarves]] [[Preferences|like]] muck roots for their ''twisting shape''.

'''Longland grass''' is an [[above ground|aboveground]] [[crop]]. It can be [[milling|milled]] into [[Flour|Longland flour]] or [[brewing|brewed]] into [[Alcohol|Longland beer]].

It is equal in value to underground crops and is much like an aboveground version of [[cave wheat]], though its [[seed]]s takes only about 25 days to grow rather than the 42 required for cave wheat, and they can be planted in any season.

Some [[dwarves]] [[Preferences|like]] Longland grass for its ''sweeping stalks''.

'''Black sand''' is one of the several types of [[sand]] that can be found in [[soil layer]]s. Black sand layers occasionally contain an [[aquifer]].

It can be gathered into [[bag]]s and used for the purpose of [[glassmaking]], and it can also be used for [[farming]] just like any other [[soil]] layer.

== In real life ==

[[wikipedia:Black sand|Black sands]] are usually made up of large quantities of [[magnetite]]. Such black sands (also known as mineral sands or iron sands) are found in various beaches via rivers from erosion and are concentrated via wave action and currents. Other types of black sand include deposits composed of [[basalt]] fragments near active volcanoes.
