Gray’s Biscuitroot-LOMATIUM Grayi.
This diminutive plant was important to many indigenous people. Roots were cooked, dried, ground into powder to add to soups or cereals. Young stems were eaten raw and the greens flavored cooked foods. The plant has antiviral and antibacterial properties that made it useful as a medicine.
Disclaimer: As always, please remember to do your own extensive research before using any plans for consumption or medicine. Do not rely on any of my videos for positive identification. If you find written sources from credentialed authors, you can develop the knowledge and confidence to safely engage in foraging. I am an amateur ethnobotanist myself, so everyone can forage safely and confidently if they are willing to put in the time to develop an “expertise” derived from expert sources.
