I just found your channel and I am thrilled. I moved to Colorado from NH three years ago and I have been researching the plants in my area. I am in the forest all the time, so to be able to identify these plants I haven’t seen before is going to be such fun. I don’t trust myself to actually be foraging at this point. My husband and I plan on taking a course on foraging this spring in our area.

Welcome, glad you found us! It is always important to be well informed before you forage for any food, glad to hear you’re doing that. The overly careful forager is the one who continues to enjoy life. Would love to hear more about your classes and foraging journey….

I generally take 3 field guide books when hunting an unfamiliar edible. If I feel like they don't all verify it, I don't eat it.

Boy this video makes me ready for spring, meadow larks singing and green plants sound good after this long winter!

@rockymountainedibles3593 Жыл бұрын

I totally agree, thrilled about that as well! Meadowlarks are one of my favorites too!

Thanks for this wonderful info. Is there any way you could let us know the range of this plant? I live in the Northern Prairie and wonder if it’s here too.

Awesome! Only thing I could ask is that you share the Latin name so we can read more about the plant

@angeladansie4378 Жыл бұрын

Good point. There is definitely overlap in colloquial names.

@rockymountainedibles3593 Жыл бұрын

That is true. I have included Latin names in many of the videos.

What’s the best book to get for identification of wild edibles?

How do you cook and eat some? What does it taste like? Apple?

I included prairie turnip in the last stir fry I posted about, maybe this could give you some ideas. Foraging for a Wild Edible Stir-Fry kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qsl_nKl5yZqcaaM.html According to the Corpse of Discovery and other nineteen century explorers it tasted insipid, which means bland or tasteless. I think that is an incorrect description of the taste. When it is raw, it has a starchy texture with a slight hint of pea flavored sweetness. Roasted over coals or sautéed creates a novel french fry type experience.

Probably could be progated through seeds or roots maybe cuttings.

Check out Prairie Moon Nursery. They sell the seeds for this plant.
