The black seeded ones are the short devils claw whick in my tribe we call Ban ihug (Coyote devils claw). The white seeded ones are the long devils claw which are used in Native American Baskets

The scent of Menudo cooking at my neighbor's house was so similar to the scent of this plant that we grew up calling it "Devil's Claw Soup".😂

bro, wut are you doing? couple things: 1) when filling a coffee grinder like that w/ seeds to grind, fill the cap, then put it on by picking up the grinder and flipping it over. this does several things, first off it's way easier to move the cap around so that you don't spill... and you spilled a lot. second, it allows you to loosen any stuck flour from the last grind and collect it back into the cap to reincorporate into the current grind. and apart from all of these, you can fill the cap more than the base on most models, because of how the cap seats. 2) flour is rarely the end product that you consume. mix it w/ a little corn flour or wheat flour, a dash of salt and add enough water to make a batter, then smear it over a hot flat surface and you get a nice flatbread, similar to piki or a tortilla.

Around here in northwest México we got a lot of devil's claws (We call them "uña de gato" cat claws) I never knew they were edible, I'm gonna look out for them on my next hike. Very useful video, keep up the good work.

My sheep brought these to my paddock last year when they broke through a fence and went into an abandoned property next to mine with a creek and flood area. It's been raining more than normal this year and I have two of these. One in the paddock and one just outside. They're both HUGE, and have enormous clusters of green fruit on June 15th of 2024. The hilarious part is I also have an impressive patch of Buffalo Gourds just near the entrance to the paddock. The sheep ignore the Devil's Claw mostly.. They munch it a bit once in awhile and seem to change their mind. The Buffalo gourd takes more of a hit from my sheep.

My great granny used a half tablespoon of sugar in anything bitter....works every time to knock it right out. I cook fresh green beans and turnip greens with a spoon of sugar. ❤

I use an Awl with an end bent 90º to extract the seeds. Slide the tip behind the fin and pull the seeds out of the track. They will slide right out. If you google Cotter Key Extractor, you will see the tool I am talking about.

Great info, thanks! I think these grow in our yard when it rains.

If any of u has ever had pickled okra, these can be pickled the same way and taste amazing! Kinda like a spicy okra.

Exelente so many of these are growing wild on my property and was researching if they were edible or what uses they might have. This is great, thank you for sharing...

Interesting video! I grow a small patch of devil's claw and datura mostly for the novelty of it. I save the seeds each year. I never considered eating the devil's claw and obviously it would be unwise to consume any part of the datura plant. BTW, my garden is at 6840 feet above sea level in the southern Sierras.

We really wanted to see your wife's reaction to eating that seed meal. I would like to know the brand of mixer you used. I understand the seed pods are tough, but I wonder if you could use a knife or small fork to break it, or smash it on a wood surface with a stone, as I imagine native people might have done. Thank you for the two excellent videos and explanations. I saw an African video and the seed pods were quite different. Pernaps what we call devils claw are separate species, not related but with similar medicinal uses. Africans also use different parts of the plant such as the tubers from an annual plant that spread from the mother root, which they do not damage to assure the next year's crop

I've seen Devils claw in NM but I never knew what it was.

I live 20 miles from the border occasional we will see some of that herb not seen any for a while

Wouldn't it be easier if you took out the seeds from the fresh pods and let them dry?

Bitter is good for you

Do you know if there is any medicinal uses for the other parts of the purple devils claw? Thank you for this one and the other one you made.

Why didn't you cut them better with the snippers to remove the seeds that's how I've always done it's just cut the pot up good and rake the seeds out with something

Pioneers didnt have all these elecrtical gadgets! So how did they actually get the flour? Just eat the seeds? Hmmm🤔

He crazy I thought devils claws kills
