Finally! Someone who is very thorough, detailed in the description and the close ups of the plants are clear. I love that I've found you! Thank you Sooooo much for your videos! Absolute, without a doubt identification is crucial. Thank you!!
thank you, helped me a lot. found some in the yard and crossed verified in a facebook group. never foraged anything except apples, pears and black berries. wikipedia says, can use just like spinach leaves and just be careful to not overdo it due to oxalic acid content. happy foraging
This was growing all over our yard while I was growing up and my parents always insisted it was a weed....and they told me the leaves were poisonous. Nice to know they're not - and your video makes me appreciate this plant (I won't call it a weed). Thanks.
Thanks, now I finally know I have broad leaf dock, burdock is so much easier to know 😉 I did use seeds one year, never bothered to take all the hull off, just threw it in the blender and added it to my bread, but it was only 1/4 cup at most, just a bit more fiber 😊
This awesome video has really helped me alot! I've been seeing a lot of these rosettes around this year and didn't know what they were. Thank you so much bro, I always learn alot from your videos and enjoy them thoroughly!
Thank you. I have been inspired to identify the weeds growing around the neighborhood and in my outdoor plant pots. I dont harvest, I live in a city but I am waiting for seeds so I can plant something in my plant box. I dont have space for much gardening or foraging but nTURE ALWAYS KEEPS US BUSY, I WALK AND IDENTIFY. THANK YOU AGAIN
You are VERY GOOD at your Craft! I love it! Very, very thorough and very articulate too! "Basel rosette" awesome descriptors!! haha! I totally enjoy your vids! So glad I found you! :)
I think what's nice about the docks (broad leaf and curly, too) is that they are perennials. So once somebody finds the plants at the older stage, they can come back for the tender new growth in the spring. Happy foraging!
Preach it brother Josh, thank you! So far this year I've discovered Yarrow, wild lettuce, wild onion, wild garlic, wild turnip, dock, plantain, purslane, red white and yellow clover, mullein, milkweed, medic, goldenrod, ragweed, lambsquarter, peppermint, spearmint, comfrey and elderberry here the property. Can't believe you can eat the weeds😀🍀
I have been wondering what this was for awhile now. I make alot of bread and use many flours. So I'll definitely be trying the seeds out for that. I always find it in my yard. It's out there now. Thanks Josh. Awesome video!
It is great for grain and I have a video on making flour from Curly Dock. The process is the same for Broad Leaf Dock. It's great when used in the right amounts! Thanks for commenting Brenda!
Great information. You are enthusiast and that's great. You can hear it when you speak. Maybe slow down just a tiny bit. I'm not trying to be ugly or hateful. I just wanted to offer that suggestion. Thank you for the valuable information. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you Gabriel for the kind words! I try to speak slowly and have slowed down from other videos I did in the past, but I'm still working on the right speed for videos. I appreciate the feedback, it's really important to have positive criticism. Thank you!
Hello' Josh I've try looking for you on identifying Catnip I think I have 2 one has grn stem and the other purple stem, both look alike soft velvety leaves. I like to know if it's really catnip?🤔 I absolutely Love your close up shots on explaining details plants. Thanks
Please forgive me if you mentioned but where are you, regionally, while shooting this video? Just curious so I can ensure that what i see locally / regionally is the same (though my guess is broadleaf dock is broadleaf dock, period...). thanks in advance!
i notice you didn't really discuss the uses of the plant other than being edible. i looked this video up because i heard in another video, it grows near stinging nettle and is a remedy for the nettles stings. is that true?
It grows near stinging nettle in my yard, and I’ve heard from others that it is used to treat nettle stings. Poison ivy grows near jewel weed & has same kind of relationship in which the jewel weed is used to counteract the poison ivy. Wonder how many other plants grow in this way?
You can eat it as you would spinach basically. It has Oxalic acid in it,like spinach does, so be aware of eating too much but honestly you'd have to eat probably a pound or more a day for weeks to have any negative effects. Unless you have kidney issues like kidney stones or something in which you're best avoiding it or eating small amounts irregularly.
Thanks .!!). Can I assume this Dock can be eaten raw as well as cooked .?🤔? I would love tips on how to eat. A good recipe perhaps 🤗😉 at the end of your vids. I am a new subbie so,, maybe you do offer some tips on other vids 👍✌️🤞
Trading My Sorrows you can eat it, preferably the young leaves. Also be aware they contain oxalates, so cocked is better than raw. Mix young spring time leaves it salads, steam with spinach. Used to eat the young sour leaves as a kid.
Last year I had what I called "the mystery plant" growing by my deck. Nobody could identify it, mostly because it had red stripes in the stems. So I cut it down even though it was almost becoming like a small tree. This year, that mystery plant has spread everywhere it seems, so I decided to ask different ppl. I finally figured out it's burdock and the stems don't have a distinct red stripe like last year's plant, but more like a plum color that is filling in the stem.
Thanku. I think I have this in the garden. I pulled something like this from a school play ground and planted it in a pot. It looked like dying when I replanted. the leaves started to rise up again. it’s now taller and alive. Thanku
Not all of them do, but I agree it does seem to be a trend. I presume, with nothing but experience, that it's due to the abundance of sunlight that kicks in the plants ability to grow large leaves. Just a theory though. Thanks for commenting Kajal!
Ugh, I have this very prolific weed all over my pasture, I have never been able to get rid of it. Guess it's good since I can go eat it when the collapse happens.
In my area of Indiana in the U.S. there are no poisonous look a likes. However that may be different for your area of the globe depending upon where you are.
I thought these were weeds! I’ve got an area with hundreds of these. I usually rip them out when they are coming up. I let them go last year and they grew to 3 feet or so, but not attractive. Thank you for this info. Time to research.
Awesome! Beware of construction on 37/I-69 south of Indianapolis if you have to use that route on your travels. If you want some info on p look aces to see or something let me know, I might be able to help! Thanks for commenting Teja, it's always nice to see you in the comments!

@@TrilliumWildEdibles You are very welcome! I subscribed ♥️
@@TrilliumWildEdibles Any poisonous, or otherwise concerning, look-alikes?
I like how you will repeat the names of the plants, that's very helpful with remembering.

My dad used to take the leaves, wash them, coat in flour and fry them in vegetable shortening, they were good

Absolutely! That's a great way to utilize the plant for the proper season. Happy foraging to you too!
As always great video, great photos, great information, your the best!
Another awesome informative video my friend, your videos are definitely in my library for reference later, thanks for all your hard work

Create Synergistic Transformations Check out Salsify....the root is edible...oyster plant.
@@johnstewart8849 looks interesting! Although lots of plants are edible, some are more survival food. Salsify might be tasty too.

Trillium: Wild Edibles
I'm so glad I didn't offend you. I really love your videos.
Not at all, I'm generally pretty hard to offend. I truly do appreciate honest and constructive criticism, improvements can't be made without them.
It looks similar to amaranth from far away. When you get close up, it's definitely different. Thank you SO MUCH.
Do any types of dock have a lot of juice inside the stems that smells like peppers when you break them?
I have four foot tall ones, but mine have purple strips running up the stalk

I'm glad it was helpful for you and thanks for commenting!
Wow, very high quality video and explanation. Excellent job. Subscription well earned. Thank you Sir!
Thank you so much for this wonderful video . I love that video and I always eat that and I feel great. Thank you again.

Thank you for this detailed video !
You're very welcome!
Helpful video as always! Thank you. ❤
You're very welcome, glad it was helpful for you!
Do the leaves of the rosette have hair on the top or are they smooth?
Great Video, been eating all the dock plants this year👍
Are all docks with these flower pods edible?
This was damn thorough. Thank u
Thank you Ryan I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for commenting!
We have the same plant life im in the 2nd tear right below the most Northern counties.

I think I have some of this growing in my yard but it has red veins.... have you ever seen that🤔
It's also used to treat nettle stings.

Got some seeds for planting in my bird aviary, there so good for birds
why do the plants that grow in plains have broad leaves?
Not all of them do, but I agree it does seem to be a trend. I presume, with nothing but experience, that it's due to the abundance of sunlight that kicks in the plants ability to grow large leaves. Just a theory though. Thanks for commenting Kajal!
T, I've got a ton of this growing in the yard. Tried a leaf after watching your vid. It was the worst tasting stuff!
Ugh, I have this very prolific weed all over my pasture, I have never been able to get rid of it. Guess it's good since I can go eat it when the collapse happens.
Getting closer by the day.
Thank you for the good video. I just eat it fresh, Delicious.
Any poisonous, or otherwise concerning, look-alikes?
In my area of Indiana in the U.S. there are no poisonous look a likes. However that may be different for your area of the globe depending upon where you are.
I have so much in my back yard
Good thing is you can use the early spring leaves and the seeds of it for various things!
I thought these were weeds! I’ve got an area with hundreds of these. I usually rip them out when they are coming up. I let them go last year and they grew to 3 feet or so, but not attractive. Thank you for this info. Time to research.
Thank You!🌹
Good info.
Didn't know it was edible ,only remember my brother using dock leaf to wrap and draw out a boil.
im putting a bunch of this through my juicer after these storms pass...wish me luck
Good luck! It can get kinda bitter around this time of year so keep that in mind.
Allsooo. 👁👁 just wondering if you know about mushroom identification enough to share w us i mean. And Thanks Again !)D
