Contribution for the Macro Dreams challenge: pebbles
So hungry "I could eat pebbles", as says Lauri in the first significant novel in Finnish written by Aleksis Kivi. So, this proverb is very familiar to us Finns.
A teaspoon filled with pebbles found around Kristinestad. That small coastal town had a great role in tar export around 17th century. Ships sailed out with barrels of tar as their cargo, and came back with gravel as their ballast. So, stones from the faraway shores and exotic immigrant plants can be found still today around the streets of Kristinestad.

What comes to terminology of "introduced plants", I guess "immigrant plants" would be better =)

Will correct that right away.
But I was surprised to find out how and why crocodiles eat stones. It is claimed they not only help the meat become crushed and digested in their stomach, but they then also help getting minerals and get rid of the intestinal parasites.
And they also eat stones for ballast. Stones allow to inhale more air into their lungs, and still dive and stay below water.
