Those "Wild Spinach" look like a plant called Twisted Stalk or Watermelon Berry we get here in Southeast AK. Latin name "Streptopus amplexifolius" They also have yellow flowers and produce red oval shaped berry fruits in the later summer. Do you perhaps know if they are the same plant? I've never seen it in interior AK but the climate on the lower yukon is a little different I am guessing.
Young fireweed you say. What's the first berry you have ripe? Look'in forward to the berry pick'in videos. Get an addiction cam for your ATV and plow throw the bush and small creeks look'in for berries. Rock and Roll blarring.
You bet the young fireweed are good we are also picking wild rhubarb they are good too! We get the salmon berries here first but they don't happen till late July. And yes I can just hook up my electric guitar and rock and roll down the tundra sounds fun :)
We have wild rhubarb too but Margo soaks it in whale oil. Maybe if you make a video about how you work with it I will try some out. You caught that lobster yourself?
Here the kids just peel and eat the rhubarb some make pie and a sauce for ice cream. No I didn't catch the King Crab I ordered it in from Nome I am just a 150 mi south of there I have caught them before in the Bering Sea we are 70 miles inland up the Yukon from where it empties into the Bering Sea.
You never know there might be shrimp and clams too set a pot and see what comes up :) some villages here didn't know they had halibut until a teacher went out and fished some up now they have a commercial fishery.
Interesting video . Thanks for sharing
Great looking greens and thanks for sharing with us. All the best and be well.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for stopping by .
I'll have to try the young fireweed! Thanks!
Sauté in butter they are pretty good!
I have stuffed Sheefish and salmon with them add a lump of butter and baked in a fire is real good too.
