These days, more people are focusing on growing a garden, but HOW ABOUT FORAGING FOR FOOD? So many plants that grow around us, in our own backyards or along a walking path, are EDIBLE and some are even MEDICINAL! Sarah goes on a foraging walk and shows SO MANY edible plants. Start taking more control of your food! Forage something!

Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.

The dandelion root also makes a great drink. It is best harvested in early spring right as the plant come up or in the fall after frost when all of the nutrients and in the roots. Clean the roots thoroughly chop them or grind into small chunks and roast them in the oven for 10 to 15 mins or until you can start to smell them. They have an almost chocolate or caramel scent and taste. You don't want them to be black or burnt in anyway, this makes them bitter. Then pour boiling water over a tablespoon or so and let set for a few mins. They have been used as a coffee substitute for centuries. I really enjoy it with some cream and honey.

This was the best videoed and narrated thing I've ever seen regarding foraging and medicinal plants. I've spent many hours with books, even have dabbled in herbology, and never could have recognized dock, poke-weed, or chickweed from them. In California we have the plantains, the berries, mullein, wild onions, but those others came through with fine clarity. I'm hoping to acquire a homestead within a county of you and anything that gives local knowledge is treasured. Thank You!

I would like to recommend an electric pressure cooker. I have a 8 Qt I purchased on QVC. It's the best thing to use for so many foods. It's a time saver and you just put the food in, set it and forget it. It turns it's self off and automatically sets to warm. Until you are ready to eat.. I just bought 2 little 3 Qt ones from QVC ..on sale under $25. They are amazing kitchen appliances. Easy to clean too. While you are cooking something on the stove, you can put something in the pressure cooker. 4 cups of dried pinto beans are ready in just 45-55 minutes. No all day cooking saves a bunch on energy costs too.

@lindachandler2293 4 жыл бұрын

You can safely eat poke that is 2" tall; I'm being over cautious here, because I don't want people yelling at me. If the leaves are big, cut the veins out for a better mouth feel. Yes, I was taught to boil and drain 3 times; it's a taste and texture thing and you don't loose all the goody of the plant. If you cut a bigger plant you can make greens from the leaves and fry the stalk; search recipes. You would be surprised what is edible, if you learned from a person that grew up in the depression era. Mama would laugh at people that were afraid of canning sausage or corn without a pressure cooker, for example. We might have been poor as Job's turkey, but mama knew how to forage and cook wild meat to feed us 😍

@Crazy_Garden_Lady 4 жыл бұрын

I don't own a pressure cooker and until now it worked great for me! I start canning right now but I have to buy the meat and veggies. We have to wait a month more to move to our own property. I think, maybe we can plant potatoes and some veggies this year, but it's to late for most. We have to prepare the garden for next year but we'll do what we can, to be self-sufficient. Better late than never. God help us! Best wishes from Portugal
