How did burning up a tree turn into the digestion of food?

Wood ash has sodium hydroxide in it. That's why people used it to make hominy grits out of cow corn. Eat some ash and turn worms into grits maybe......then.... worry about worm ash and digestion.

The sodium that is in food is not normally in the form of sodium hydroxide, it is in such forms as sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate and so forth. If you burn the food, reducing it to ash, then the CO2 or other radicals are driven off reducing it to sodium hydroxide. Thus reduced ash has much sodium hydroxide, but the ash content of normal food that is unadulterated has very little, or in fact if the food is acid, none.
