I know you are talking about wild edibles but the horse chestnuts can be used for shampoo, dish soap, and laundry soap. I quarter them and chop in my vitamix and then put a handful in a quart jar with hot water to make soap. It works really well and it is free soap! I learned this at the Permaculture Convergence this year and happened to find 2 trees close to my grand daughters doctor appointment. I just takes about an hour to pick up enough for me to clean everything in my house for a year, including me!
Thanks, Darcy. This is exactly the kind of thing I'm here to look for. Wild edibles and medicinal and practical uses for weeds and plants. Thanks so much for your contribution oh, I'm going to look into it.
This class should be given to all high schools and colleges. I am so glad this is on UA-cam. It is truly sad that most houses in the USA are so very often sprayed with toxic chemicals to kill dandelions and wild plantains, etc. Many beneficial pollinators like bees are dying in alarming numbers since the past decades. When there is no bee, human will be in big trouble.
You are so right and it is truly sad that children are not taught this we should always keep our heritage and learn the ways of the land. Everything on this planet has a purpose and to kill off that purpose is an awful thing. We need to plant more milkweed for the monarchs butterflies and we definitely need more wildflowers for the bees. All this summer 2021 I have not seen one bee. 😔
I have a lot of borage in my garden, it self seeds and spreads everywhere so I gather seeds from it and other flowers and drive down dirt roads or areas where spray won’t reach and throw out seed. As long as it’s not a harmful invasive plant we should all be doing it. Bees LOVE borage !!! Hyssop, calendula, echinacea, rudbeckia, Shasta/wild daisy, milkweed, Lilly’s…….let’s replant the ditches now that they are cutting back on poisoning them 🥰
My great grandmother would make a dandelion salad! She was from the mountains outside winchester, va. She would saute dandelions and then make a "dressing" of apple cider vinegar and sugar (she would heat this up to combine, a hot dressing) and add chopped egg whites to the finished dish. It was so wonderful, I will be making it this spring. Her name was Maime Every (maiden name Boyce).
You pick the leaves and prince them real good and cut them in about 1 1/2 size in a bowl and take 3 strips pl a of bacon and cut into small pieces and fry them in a small amount of bacon grease and chop some onion add to the bowl and when the bacon is doen pore bacon and grease over the greens stir add dash salt&pepper and garlic powder stir again and add vinegar and serve !!!
That sounds good! We learned so much from our grandmothers! My granny took me in the woods to show me all the edibles that are available, way back in 1958! I remember them still!
My great grandmother made a similar dish but would add hot bacon grease to the dressing of apple cider vinegar and a little sugar....soooo delicious! I miss the good ole home cooked meals and sides of the wise ole timers.😒
cheesedick: if your eating a bowl of greens the addition of a little animal fat will only help the nutrition content. Dont be such a judgemental vegan nazi.
All of my life (72 years), I never knew how to differentiate among the evergreen trees, until I watched this video. Thank you, for making it easy. I really appreciate the detailed descriptions and the close-up videos of the edible plants. Great job!
I know! For forty years, I'm just like, "It's an evergreen with needles? It's a pine tree." "It has cones? _It's a pine tree."_ I feel so much less useless now that I can at least differentiate between pine, spruce and fir. XD
I am 50, My husband is 52 and my son is 20, we started a plant based since 2015 DUE TO SEVERED AND DEADLY ILLNESSES plus insane pains!!! and since then I threw away all vitamins and supplements, we have no need of any pharma, treatments or even any over the counter stuff. Recently started foraging beside of healthy plant base lifestyle due to getting shingles, the first plant I identify when I got the singles, was the plant that save me from pain and itching!!! It was pennyworth!!! Since then started identifying 1 to 2 plants a day plus adding them to our daily foods since I found they were all magically healing plants!!!! Just had as brunch like a pound of mixed "weeds" or better said: EDIBLE WILD PLANTS! Even with a healthy plant based lifestyle I still had rheumatoid, arthritis, and myalgia but thanks to the shingles (few months ago) started eating my front and back yard "edible" plants and BINGO! Rheumatoid, neuralgia, and arthritis IS GONE!!! in only 2 months of eating green plants almost daily!!! Learning about mushroom and trees, and collecting samples, seeds and propagating the medicinal ones in our yard. I found only 1 wild lettuce in the forest, brought the seeds and now we have like 10 amazing wild lettuce plants, which we eat their leaves almost daily in soups, sauteed, sandwishes along with like 10 more plants LOL I learned recently to never eat them all at once and to try little by little but got carried over and luckily instead of getting sick eating these real mecicines, we got stronger and healthier. I am 50 and have zero pains, zero illnesses, I can run, I can jump, I play a lot with our 6 dogs everyday, life is amazing when HEALTHY, nothing matters more than HEALTH and I consider myself the wealthiest human ever at my age! HEALTH IS WEATLH. Been several months that I stopped buying greens, salads, condiments and even some veggies as we have massive amounts of FREE real foods at home!!! Thank you for your TEACHINGS AND WISDOM!!! Wish ALL HUMANS BE HEALTHY too!
That was simply inspiring. I was shown this link on UA-cam because I had been looking at dandelion coffee, and fully intended to fast forward this video to the dandelion part. Well after 1 hour 34 minutes I'm hooked on foraging greens rather than buying supermarket ones. As a bonus the best part is the vast majority of these plants are common in England. You have caused my hunter gatherer juices to flow. Thank you.
This video took me back as a child, my mom and dad could go out in the yard and pick greens several times during the summer and mom would incorporate the greens in are meals. This is an important channel thanks guys. God Bless
I'm just seeing this now... I can say, people like you are a gift to humanity. We need more. Your test was eye opening on how indoctrinated we are, and how little we know about what keeps us alive.
This is THE BEST video on edible plants I have seen so far. I love all the tips on how to recognize them, how to eat them, their properties and uses, and LOVE the close-ups with clear view of the plants. Thank you Sergei 😃🙃😎
Phenomenal teacher. I plan to modify my own teaching style based on his after watching this video. Even though I teach whatever I know, and I'm also Russian myself and grew up with my grandmother / Baba teaching me outside on the garden, AND I'm probably nearly two decades older than this guy, he is teaching ME. Would love to go walking through a forest with him!
Plant medicinal herbs and weeds now. Don’t wait and start community gardens as well. Go organic make your own soil. Advocate for ORGANICS. Bayer Monsanto is now the new agriculture secretary head as Biden Harris pick. Bad very telling choice
The purple flower you mentioned is in the mustard family is actually Moonwort, it is also known as silverbloom. The roots are edible and so are the young leaves before they flower.
Hi Sergei we actually went to high school together and although I didn’t know you I do remember seeing your face around so it’s super cool to see you on UA-cam now, and nice to hear your story too
Hello from Australia! Thanks for an excellent video packed with information. And the way life introduced you to wild foraging is so cool & good on your parents for taking you on an adventure in the school of nature! You are very refreshing & inspiring in this sleepy plastic world so thanks again ✌🏼🙏🏼🕊
I felt bad for all those people standing in the sun while you talked, but good info. I have several of your family's books, but had to check to see if I had your edibles book. I think you made some UA-cam videos back then about foreaging. Your family's efforts helped get me back on a whole foods plan that I had moved away from after many nice years of enjoying Macrobiotics; which is a wonderful way of eating whole foods. I learned a lot about greens, etc. I eventually took back dairy, got sick, and gained 80 lbs or so. You never know when you're on a path like your family was on, what influences you might be having on others, but as time went by, and I got more and more desperate, I started doing raw, lost the 80 lbs, and got off the dairy which helped me get well. You were in Ashland; I was in Brookings, and now in Medford. At 82, I'm so glad I learned to enjoy the greens, and whole foods that you all were discovering, and teaching about. I knew when my mom died of colon cancer, that I wasn't ever going back to eating any animal products or highly processed foods. I discovered a whole community of whole food proponents, so thank you and your family for leading me to this healthy way of eating. I love the idea of foraging, so now that I found you again, I might look into it further. I'll look for your books. Thanks, Sergei.... Edit: Mwahaha... At 82 I'm finally learning that those fuzzy, prickly 'dandelions' aren't really dandelions. I have to live way longer... so much to learn... Thanks, Sergei.
In Greece,grandmas still know much of the wild edibles,their uses and make salads or amazing 'weed pies'!If you go to a tavern in Greece,70% of the time they have a weed salad with olive and lemon :))
God gave us ''NO'' Short supply of food we just have to know what to eat, and Thank God Everyday for this Beautiful planet!! .. and take care of it. ''Save Our Planet'' Thank you Sergei
yes, we have lost the knowledge. i have been doing the wild plants for 2 yrs and eat and use over 300. the good earth is rich. the biggest problem i have found is people are fearful. they can't seem to get past fear. guess what cures corona, or covid ?? have you studied germ theory ? BeChamp and Pasteur would argue . this is totally hidden.
Cannabis is one powerful herb that people are doing serious time for. Wouldn’t it be silly if our government locked up people because we started using wild edibles and Herbs to treat illnesses? Same thing with Cannibis God put it here for a purpose and I try to use Gods Lettuce as much as possible.
@@survivallife7401 The problem with people who only think about cannabis is that there are so many other plants that are better. Basically the whole "cannabis is good for you" argument is from people who just want to be high all the time.
Another plus with a diversity of wild food is that the microbiome on all the different plant surfaces increases our own gut microbiome diversity. A hallmark of people with good immune systems and longevity is gut microbiome diversity.
I am from Tacoma and I found this to be incredibly informing. The identifying features were demonstrated in a much easier way to understand. Thank you!
@@BoutenkoFilms From Whidbey Is/Everett love the UA-cam had to share the URL link and will be getting the book. I wish everything could be taught the way you did: outdoors, hands-on, using all the senses, great descriptions, examples of uses. The information's retained. Schools should incorporate this style of learning in everyway possible, for most subjects. I think kids might be more interested in learning, have more innovative ideas AND be more environmentally conscience... Thank you, I will be getting my grandkids out for some "picnic" FUN!
Wow, I Read your Mum's book on a backpack travel through Europe, found it in a closet in the beachappartement in Kalamata we borrowed from a friend. I loved the book, fantastic story, pics althrough of the family while on the trip, fantastic book!
Thank you for your kindness by teaching us, I do learned many Wild Edible Green. This is will save us a lot of money by using Wild Green Vegetables. Thanks God for His providing all thses delicious food and thanks to you for helping us to learn, great job 👌 👍
Little by little I'm gaining confidence in some of these weeds. Just created small patch of Purslane from random volunteers in my back yard. I have Common Mallow everywhere. This is the best I've seen on the topic. WELL DONE!
I like how you put the time for each plant and topic in your video description. It is amazing how much great food is out there, just waiting for us to get to know the plants around us. Between weeds and trees, there's enough for a meal almost anywhere in the springtime. Here's to a great season of foraging for everyone -- there's plenty of weeds to go around! :D
Loved this video. We just moved out to the country last year and so many of these plants are on our property…. it makes me feel better to know that some of the “weeds” in my garden are actual plants I can put in my salad :-)
When I go to the parks, my favorite thing to do is to identify edible plants. Now I know more! Thanks! Please do more of these videos. How about a video of common weeds that grow in our backyard that are edibles?
Great video Sergei. I just received your book today. Thanks for all the info! In this video, around 43:00, you mention that you respect the roots of the plants. In 2011, my mom moved and I took small sections (about 2”) of lilac and yucca, and I planted those root sections in her new yard. Both of the roots have grown into full plants...and the yucca actually grew into 5 separate plants from just that one piece of root. So I’d invite you to experiment with roots. Still harvest them, but replant small sections that can grow a new plant, or multiple plants to replace/replenish what you have utilized. I hope this helps. I’m quite new to foraging, and have enjoyed learning from you. Thanks again!!!
I wish I could live with you for a year. So you can teach me and my children how to live a better life and better environment for the future. I think everyone should live like you!!! I’m not a good baker cooker, I could learn so much from you!
I can’t believe I just watched a video for 1hour 34 min and 49 seconds 😳…………captivating and great !!!!! Thank you ! I made a “weed” salad for a potluck at work several years ago and people were holding up leaves and asking “what’s this”? Everybody loved it !!!
This walk tutorial is fantastic, thank you for making it available to all. I know plants and I learned a lot anyway. Very enjoyable. I love your family story. On a personal note, it’s good to hear about cool Russian families. I come from urban intellectuals who don’t know plants, I’m the black sheep in the family who finally escaped to the country to learn and grow, and I was doing a bunch of foraging in my former urban home as well. We know that Russians know a lot about foraging, it’s how many survived the various economic meltdowns, the collapse of the Soviet Union being the most recent and the ravages of out of control greedy capitalism being the current one. Teaching Americans how to recognize food in their landscape is a great deed!
Ok, Sergei, I’m calling you the reincarnated Euell Gibbons ( Stalking the Wild Asparagus-66?)… informative, easy and sincere! Great effort! Don Hall,N.D. Kentucky
Wow 😳 thank you so much for all your knowledge on plants. I'm going to share this with my grand kids so they learn. I may just buy your books too so they can follow along with your videos as you speak about plants. Its nice to see how you litteraly just walk around the parks and find nutritional foods we would never think to eat. And plants that can be very helpful if injured or sick. I watched this whole video and you are so interesting and kind and really put value to every answer weather right or wrong of the people you encourage and that is so important. I'm so gonna show my kids and grand kids your videos. Thank you so much. I'm gonna try to buy your books if I can, I'm on a fixed income. So I will have to save. But I want to really thank you because I so injured this video that I thought I was with the group. Lol 😆
Plantains seed stocks are PERFECT for making veggie burgers. There was a bunch of plantains growing my backyard so I harvested them and made veggie burgers with the seeds and used the greens as well in the burgers, and again as lettuce. You just need a binder, which it provides some of, but add an egg or chia as well into your food processor or blender, and you got a burger patty that you can shape into a small bowl and then cook (either in the microwave or in the oven). I also mixed in mustard bits and other wild edible into these patties.
As of the end of the end of the month I will have no where to live. And has always been my dream to live among the cows and chickens, and around good people who appreciate all the wonderful things God has given us. It's so refreshing to watch your videos and see all the wonderful activity on your spread... I could almost smell the fresh mowed grass. God has blessed you richly!!!
Just read your post / txt , hope and pray that things are alot better for you now, i am going to be remembering you in my prayers as i pray for many as well as all my heavenly brothers and sisters around the world, and often with another lady that lives many miles away from me, but in the same state.Father God where ever she is right now send people Into her life to bless encourage and lift her up.Send people that will truly bless her , and minister true Godly love to her heard, .ind and soirit, be with her wherever she is and put a headgear of protection around her send your Angel's to watch over her, Father send and over flowing of the Holy Spirit to her to protect, lead and guide her in Jesus's Holy,Powerful and Mighty name.
Never knew that about the story Into the Wild!! I'm feeling a lot more relief that's actually what happened! Wow you are so gifted with your knowledge!
Oxalates are neutralized by cooking. Oxalic acid can cause kidney stones, and prevents absorption of calcium, but also kills cancer cells. Best cooked. I hugely enjoyed this video! Спасибо!
Just discovered your channel. I love your personality and the way you encourage the group to participate in the learning. That is how newbies stay interested and engaged. Your enthusiasm is contagious. Great video! Very, very informative. May 26, 2021.
Awesome, awesome!!! I love foraging in my yard but I want to expand to more plants, this helps. You answered your own question about why we need supplements-- because we eat a small variety of commercially grown hybrids designed to look good thereby sacrificing nutrients, and grown in nutirient- depleted soils. So awesome to know we should be eating hundreds of varieties of plants! I will try...
22:36 "grass will sustain you" especially the meristematic bits. I'm absolutely blessed by your studies, book and the info you teach Very valuable information and hope to meet you someday when I'm traveling that way. Thanks for your work, love your wild edibles book!
Thanks a million for this valuable info and all the effort you put into sharing this content!! Such a wealth of knowledge. My walks with my daughter will be a lot more interesting from now on. Cheers mate!
l LOVED the story about how the antioxidants in your system was off the charts! Wild plants are superfoods cuz humans have bred a lot of the plants we eat for taste and bred a lot of the beneficial qualities out of them. Now think about how many more diseases we have than our ancestors did.
Check out Eathing/ grounding ( going barefoot out side) many, many video on you tube .God made us from the earth, the earths frequencies and our are to be the same, all the electronics, power poles and cell towers all cell phones and all the other is keeping our frequencies off, blocks alot of healing in itself , eating better and grounding you can not go wrong, many, many people have been healed of all kinds of things, each one I listen to and read the comments I have learned of more )( other kinds of healings ) God bless you , you will be glad you checked it out then share with others God' s very best to you.
Greetings from Massachusetts; many of the plants you featured grow here too. I believe the unidentified mustard @1:07:37 is common name: Honesty, scientific name: Lunaria annua or other spp.-the seedpods gave it away. When i make pine needle tea, I don't boil in real hard & I cover the pot to prevent volatile Vitamin C from escaping.
Thanks for the information. I grew up in Europe, my mother used to pick herbs to eat , watercress ,malva, for inflammation ,elderberry flowers for cough, onion peels for cough, linden tea for fever. Lemon basil for stomach pain ,Dandelion we just gave it to the pigs and rabbits. I learned more stuff today .I learned how to cook dandelion just the recent years .
Very fun walk! I very much enjoy foraging wild food. I live in Northern MN and we just got done with our Maple syrup making for the year. I think 30 hours is a little long for boiling sap but you were probably remembering the number 30 because that is how many gallons of sap that you need to make 1 gallon of syrup. We have a lot of the broad leaf plantain around here but I have never seen the lance leaf plantain.
I was raised in the woods in the mountains of KY, and eating the berries, weeds of the hills i learned that if you smelled cucumber it meant a snake was around. (stay away). this is what my Cherokee family taught me. I learn to pick Poke, other greens to eat.. tea, . I could write a long letter hear but I wont., If you ever meet an true old timer ''Kentuckian'' ask her to make you some ''blackberry dumplings''(Not cobbler) completely different....All the best. stay safe. 2020.
Do not eat the pokeberry berries, but the young leaves and greens are okay to eat!

Dawn Thompson Hello, I cannot remember my age, but I was n grade school when my grandmother took leaves from a Polk as big as me, she cooked up as spinach. I read an article on the berries, a remedy for an ailment I cannot remember, dry berries, swallow 3 a day for a month, then 1 a month for a year, I did the one month, I have even swallowed fresh berries, I had no ill effects. I read that juice use to be made from berries, that only 1 known case of a child died (I believe age 7) due to the broken seeds of the berries that passed through the strainer. When Polk started growing n my yard years ago, I only remembered eating it as a child, nothing else, so I searched for information, I read that the plant was poisonous, don’t eat, or, u can only eat from those no bigger than, I think 7”, ( not much to get from that size to make a pot of greens to feed a family, but a bigger plant, bigger leaves would) or don’t eat those with red stalks, red on the underside of leaves, most of my plants have red, also to boil n several changes of water, a man of around 60 said he ate it his whole life with only 1 change of water, (his words make me think of people back n the day who had limited water) I could not remember if the plant I ate as a child had red on it or not, (I don’t understand why most of my plants have red stalks and red underneath leaves) not to eat leaves when the berries start to form, I had a lot of doubt and fear, but wanted to eat this free food, I could not ask my grandmother questions cause she has passed, I could not take what all those people said to be true, cause the plant we ate from was n feet, not inches. I’m 59 now, and have eaten only from solid green plants (which don’t give me much) or eat after berries form, I think next year, I’ll sample the plants with red, (the least that will happen from sampling will be minor) I’m into dehydrating now, and what few plants I have with no red, won’t give me anything to dehydrate to eat n the winter months. I love Polk, it’s delicious! U have a wonderful day
I literally wish I had known about you doing this in 2019, I just downloaded your book. I live in Marysville (50 miles north of Seattle), Tacoma isn't that far. I am so glad you live here I want to learn so badly and that you're doing this here is so amazing. Do you do this stuff more? I'd love to come to listen to you sometime.
Fantastic I really enjoyed the presentation the knowledge not just about wild edibles but a life lesson too. Thank you so much I will be sharing this love and peace 🙏
Amazing vid!! Love the BlackBerry leaf info and the grass info is amazing! I can pick blackberry wild eat them on the cliff walk from Bray Wicklow Ireland to Greystones if it re opens after lockdown. Narrow path. People come from both directions so they closed it!! I knew plantain and dandelion. Sad we know no leaves tho we did them in primary 4-12 age school. Ireland. I forgot them!! This is lovely vid!!! Thank u tons !!
this is the second time I run into your vidios by accident. liked every bit of it. thank you very much for your kind sharing of information the best part about it in my opinion is a young person sharing his experiences hopefully reaching our young generations. it is importent the young to know. you do have a wounderful comunication skills thank you for taking your time to share it.
I'm so blessed to stumble upon your videos, and to have so many of these plants in my own yard. Thank you for sharing your experiences and information! As always, I wish you well.
wow! I learned so much! Totally picking up your book and some of those other ones you mentioned. Great for our homeschool nature study. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
@@iglockman1555 that is so wrong in so many ways. I can't believe how strict that is. The only thing you can do is to not vote people like that in office. That makes me mad and I don't even live there. Seeing how someone is over controlling people like that is upsetting.
I want to thank you for taking the time to make this video life for me will never be the same. I'm off to forage this weekend and I really look forward to what I come up with. Thanks again!
Sergei - I have taken 2 classes with your mom & dad & have quite a few of the raw family books. I was so surprised to see you making this video - & it was just a UA-cam recommendation - it came up after another video I had watched. How are you? I just subscribed to your channel, so I’ll see more of what you’re doing! Be well & enjoy life! 🌷🌿 Shannon .
GREAT ! Been studying / using wild plants for 50 yrs - around the World - as in my survival training. . Always love more info. EXCELLENT ! Got have your book in my library. " Mtn Mel " Deweese, Ret.

Now 78, I am still visiting their village. THANK YOU. Super job.!
Sorry Sergei. My families come from a long line of foragers, and there were things I still did not know; like pine you can/cannot use and daisies were toxic and the wild mustard with yellow flowers. I only found out about daisies 2 years ago, pines 5 - 6 years ago, mustard was years ago, and that raspberry leaves need to be fresh or fully dried, was in the last 15 years. I’m sure you are very knowledgeable and this is how we learn. If I would have heard this sooner, I would have learned about the raspberry leaves. You have a gift to teach. Please do check out what I said as fact. You taught me something. Check multiple sources including the extension service as they do the undeniable identification if you give a descent specimen.
Am about half hour into film and I think this is wonderfully educational. I started getting interested in wild foods after discovering purslane. Love this and will continue watching tomorrow
Very common sense, thank you so much!!! I would add that there are some people that are sensitive bitter tasters and just can not manage dandilion or many older weeds. I also found out weeds that used to slightly bother me have turned into mild allergies, that does happen.

I know you are talking about wild edibles but the horse chestnuts can be used for shampoo, dish soap, and laundry soap. I quarter them and chop in my vitamix and then put a handful in a quart jar with hot water to make soap. It works really well and it is free soap! I learned this at the Permaculture Convergence this year and happened to find 2 trees close to my grand daughters doctor appointment. I just takes about an hour to pick up enough for me to clean everything in my house for a year, including me!
Thanks!
Awesome 👍🏾
Thanks, Darcy. This is exactly the kind of thing I'm here to look for. Wild edibles and medicinal and practical uses for weeds and plants. Thanks so much for your contribution oh, I'm going to look into it.
Nice. Thank you

You are so right and it is truly sad that children are not taught this we should always keep our heritage and learn the ways of the land.

So cool! Foraging is changing my whole perception on health, abundance and community, thanks Sergei you Rock!
All of my life (72 years), I never knew how to differentiate among the evergreen trees, until I watched this video. Thank you, for making it easy. I really appreciate the detailed descriptions and the close-up videos of the edible plants. Great job!
I know! For forty years, I'm just like, "It's an evergreen with needles? It's a pine tree." "It has cones? _It's a pine tree."_ I feel so much less useless now that I can at least differentiate between pine, spruce and fir. XD

Learning about mushroom and trees, and collecting samples, seeds and propagating the medicinal ones in our yard. I found only 1 wild lettuce in the forest, brought the seeds and now we have like 10 amazing wild lettuce plants, which we eat their leaves almost daily in soups, sauteed, sandwishes along with like 10 more plants LOL I learned recently to never eat them all at once and to try little by little but got carried over and luckily instead of getting sick eating these real mecicines, we got stronger and healthier. I am 50 and have zero pains, zero illnesses, I can run, I can jump, I play a lot with our 6 dogs everyday, life is amazing when HEALTHY, nothing matters more than HEALTH and I consider myself the wealthiest human ever at my age! HEALTH IS WEATLH. Been several months that I stopped buying greens, salads, condiments and even some veggies as we have massive amounts of FREE real foods at home!!! Thank you for your TEACHINGS AND WISDOM!!! Wish ALL HUMANS BE HEALTHY too!
That was simply inspiring. I was shown this link on UA-cam because I had been looking at dandelion coffee, and fully intended to fast forward this video to the dandelion part.
Well after 1 hour 34 minutes I'm hooked on foraging greens rather than buying supermarket ones. As a bonus the best part is the vast majority of these plants are common in England.
You have caused my hunter gatherer juices to flow. Thank you.
This video took me back as a child, my mom and dad could go out in the yard and pick greens several times during the summer and mom would incorporate the greens in are meals. This is an important channel thanks guys.
God Bless
I'm just seeing this now... I can say, people like you are a gift to humanity. We need more.
Your test was eye opening on how indoctrinated we are, and how little we know about what keeps us alive.
This is THE BEST video on edible plants I have seen so far. I love all the tips on how to recognize them, how to eat them, their properties and uses, and LOVE the close-ups with clear view of the plants. Thank you Sergei
😃🙃😎
Phenomenal teacher. I plan to modify my own teaching style based on his after watching this video. Even though I teach whatever I know, and I'm also Russian myself and grew up with my grandmother / Baba teaching me outside on the garden, AND I'm probably nearly two decades older than this guy, he is teaching ME. Would love to go walking through a forest with him!
Gallstones 😲 ua-cam.com/video/IQgLWF88msQ/v-deo.html One minute !! Dr Greger, Science !!! Hint hint, plants are the king ✅❤️😬💪👍
Plant medicinal herbs and weeds now. Don’t wait and start community gardens as well. Go organic make your own soil. Advocate for ORGANICS. Bayer Monsanto is now the new agriculture secretary head as Biden Harris pick. Bad very telling choice
The purple flower you mentioned is in the mustard family is actually Moonwort, it is also known as silverbloom. The roots are edible and so are the young leaves before they flower.
One of the most valuable videos I 've ever seen on UA-cam!
Great job my brother!
Stay safe and have fun!
True that.
I absolutely agree👍🏾
I love how you incorporate using our 5 senses in ID'g plants...identification is everything,and you have some nifty ways of remembering!
Hi Sergei we actually went to high school together and although I didn’t know you I do remember seeing your face around so it’s super cool to see you on UA-cam now, and nice to hear your story too
Awesome Introduction PLANTS EXPAND YOUR LIFE. As a 49 yo learning to grow plants is truly life giving.
Hello from Australia! Thanks for an excellent video packed with information. And the way life introduced you to wild foraging is so cool & good on your parents for taking you on an adventure in the school of nature! You are very refreshing & inspiring in this sleepy plastic world so thanks again ✌🏼🙏🏼🕊
I felt bad for all those people standing in the sun while you talked, but good info. I have several of your family's books, but had to check to see if I had your edibles book. I think you made some UA-cam videos back then about foreaging. Your family's efforts helped get me back on a whole foods plan that I had moved away from after many nice years of enjoying Macrobiotics; which is a wonderful way of eating whole foods. I learned a lot about greens, etc. I eventually took back dairy, got sick, and gained 80 lbs or so. You never know when you're on a path like your family was on, what influences you might be having on others, but as time went by, and I got more and more desperate, I started doing raw, lost the 80 lbs, and got off the dairy which helped me get well. You were in Ashland; I was in Brookings, and now in Medford. At 82, I'm so glad I learned to enjoy the greens, and whole foods that you all were discovering, and teaching about. I knew when my mom died of colon cancer, that I wasn't ever going back to eating any animal products or highly processed foods. I discovered a whole community of whole food proponents, so thank you and your family for leading me to this healthy way of eating. I love the idea of foraging, so now that I found you again, I might look into it further. I'll look for your books. Thanks, Sergei.... Edit: Mwahaha... At 82 I'm finally learning that those fuzzy, prickly 'dandelions' aren't really dandelions. I have to live way longer... so much to learn... Thanks, Sergei.
In Greece,grandmas still know much of the wild edibles,their uses and make salads or amazing 'weed pies'!If you go to a tavern in Greece,70% of the time they have a weed salad with olive and lemon :))
My YAYA taught me what to eat here. Most are the same as in Europe because they came here with their own seeds.
@@patriotamazon189 never knew that but imagine!coming with no money but the seeds..well :p.Greetings from Greece πατριώτη! < 3
Sounds amazing lovely 😊
God gave us ''NO'' Short supply of food we just have to know what to eat, and Thank God Everyday for this Beautiful planet!! .. and take care of it. ''Save Our Planet'' Thank you Sergei
yes, we have lost the knowledge. i have been doing the wild plants for 2 yrs and eat and use over 300. the good earth is rich. the biggest problem i have found is people are fearful. they can't seem to get past fear. guess what cures corona, or covid ?? have you studied germ theory ? BeChamp and Pasteur would argue . this is totally hidden.
Yeah
Cannabis is one powerful herb that people are doing serious time for. Wouldn’t it be silly if our government locked up people because we started using wild edibles and Herbs to treat illnesses? Same thing with Cannibis God put it here for a purpose and I try to use Gods Lettuce as much as possible.
@@survivallife7401 The problem with people who only think about cannabis is that there are so many other plants that are better. Basically the whole "cannabis is good for you" argument is from people who just want to be high all the time.
Another plus with a diversity of wild food is that the microbiome on all the different plant surfaces increases our own gut microbiome diversity. A hallmark of people with good immune systems and longevity is gut microbiome diversity.
I am from Tacoma and I found this to be incredibly informing. The identifying features were demonstrated in a much easier way to understand. Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
@@BoutenkoFilms From Whidbey Is/Everett love the UA-cam had to share the URL link and will be getting the book. I wish everything could be taught the way you did: outdoors, hands-on, using all the senses, great descriptions, examples of uses. The information's retained. Schools should incorporate this style of learning in everyway possible, for most subjects. I think kids might be more interested in learning, have more innovative ideas AND be more environmentally conscience... Thank you, I will be getting my grandkids out for some "picnic" FUN!
@@BoutenkoFilms Lectins from plants over time cause brain damage and Alzheimer's. Proceed with caution.
Wow, I Read your Mum's book on a backpack travel through Europe, found it in a closet in the beachappartement in Kalamata we borrowed from a friend. I loved the book, fantastic story, pics althrough of the family while on the trip, fantastic book!
Amazing, please share the title.
Me too! I read his mom's book years ago when he still was a teenager and lived at home. I think the book was called "The Green Revolution".
@@melodyellysse4377 I think it was "The Green Smoothie Revolution". You can google Victoria Boutenko.
Thank you very much Sergei. There are the same wild Edibles in France and I just can't wait to forage them..in my garden! Céline
I found a new hobby. Thank you for introducing this to me.
Thank you for your kindness by teaching us, I do learned many Wild Edible Green. This is will save us a lot of money by using Wild Green Vegetables. Thanks God for His providing all thses delicious food and thanks to you for helping us to learn, great job 👌 👍
Little by little I'm gaining confidence in some of these weeds. Just created small patch of Purslane from random volunteers in my back yard. I have Common Mallow everywhere. This is the best I've seen on the topic. WELL DONE!
I've had Purslane growing all over my garden bed for years. I had no idea what it was.
I like how you put the time for each plant and topic in your video description. It is amazing how much great food is out there, just waiting for us to get to know the plants around us. Between weeds and trees, there's enough for a meal almost anywhere in the springtime. Here's to a great season of foraging for everyone -- there's plenty of weeds to go around! :D
Loved this video.
We just moved out to the country last year and so many of these plants are on our property…. it makes me feel better to know that some of the “weeds” in my garden are actual plants I can put in my salad :-)
#1 thing I love about living in the PNW - between the wild animals & edible plants, the food all but jumps onto your plate.
When I go to the parks, my favorite thing to do is to identify edible plants. Now I know more! Thanks! Please do more of these videos. How about a video of common weeds that grow in our backyard that are edibles?
Great video Sergei. I just received your book today. Thanks for all the info!
In this video, around 43:00, you mention that you respect the roots of the plants. In 2011, my mom moved and I took small sections (about 2”) of lilac and yucca, and I planted those root sections in her new yard. Both of the roots have grown into full plants...and the yucca actually grew into 5 separate plants from just that one piece of root. So I’d invite you to experiment with roots. Still harvest them, but replant small sections that can grow a new plant, or multiple plants to replace/replenish what you have utilized. I hope this helps. I’m quite new to foraging, and have enjoyed learning from you. Thanks again!!!
I wish I could live with you for a year. So you can teach me and my children how to live a better life and better environment for the future. I think everyone should live like you!!! I’m not a good baker cooker, I could learn so much from you!
Like a supper nanny call him super foraging teacher IDK just being silly happy new year 1/2/2022
You are a great teacher! I learned a lot and will not be afraid to explore forging any longer.
I can’t believe I just watched a video for 1hour 34 min and 49 seconds 😳…………captivating and great !!!!!
Thank you !
I made a “weed” salad for a potluck at work several years ago and people were holding up leaves and asking “what’s this”? Everybody loved it !!!
Thank you sir, for opening up my primary or primitive eyesight. Your teaching methods are excellent, and with much compassion... all the best 🌲☘🍀🌱🌿
This walk tutorial is fantastic, thank you for making it available to all. I know plants and I learned a lot anyway. Very enjoyable. I love your family story. On a personal note, it’s good to hear about cool Russian families. I come from urban intellectuals who don’t know plants, I’m the black sheep in the family who finally escaped to the country to learn and grow, and I was doing a bunch of foraging in my former urban home as well. We know that Russians know a lot about foraging, it’s how many survived the various economic meltdowns, the collapse of the Soviet Union being the most recent and the ravages of out of control greedy capitalism being the current one. Teaching Americans how to recognize food in their landscape is a great deed!
Listening to him I learn much more than just his teaching.
Ok, Sergei, I’m calling you the reincarnated Euell Gibbons ( Stalking the Wild Asparagus-66?)… informative, easy and sincere! Great effort! Don Hall,N.D. Kentucky
This is precious! If you haven’t watch it yet, you’re missing too much. You could learn a lot from it. TREASURE INFORMATIONS!
Wow 😳 thank you so much for all your knowledge on plants. I'm going to share this with my grand kids so they learn. I may just buy your books too so they can follow along with your videos as you speak about plants. Its nice to see how you litteraly just walk around the parks and find nutritional foods we would never think to eat. And plants that can be very helpful if injured or sick. I watched this whole video and you are so interesting and kind and really put value to every answer weather right or wrong of the people you encourage and that is so important. I'm so gonna show my kids and grand kids your videos. Thank you so much. I'm gonna try to buy your books if I can, I'm on a fixed income. So I will have to save. But I want to really thank you because I so injured this video that I thought I was with the group. Lol 😆
Sergei has been so inspirational to me! This video has really re-energized me to learn more about my "weeds" and eat them!
good food is important. when grocery gets so expensive, it's more important to eat more natural than artificial ingredients. so subscribed!
Plantains seed stocks are PERFECT for making veggie burgers. There was a bunch of plantains growing my backyard so I harvested them and made veggie burgers with the seeds and used the greens as well in the burgers, and again as lettuce. You just need a binder, which it provides some of, but add an egg or chia as well into your food processor or blender, and you got a burger patty that you can shape into a small bowl and then cook (either in the microwave or in the oven). I also mixed in mustard bits and other wild edible into these patties.
As of the end of the end of the month I will have no where to live. And has always been my dream to live among the cows and chickens, and around good people who appreciate all the wonderful things God has given us. It's so refreshing to watch your videos and see all the wonderful activity on your spread... I could almost smell the fresh mowed grass. God has blessed you richly!!!
Just read your post / txt , hope and pray that things are alot better for you now, i am going to be remembering you in my prayers as i pray for many as well as all my heavenly brothers and sisters around the world, and often with another lady that lives many miles away from me, but in the same state.Father God where ever she is right now send people Into her life to bless encourage and lift her up.Send people that will truly bless her , and minister true Godly love to her heard, .ind and soirit, be with her wherever she is and put a headgear of protection around her send your Angel's to watch over her, Father send and over flowing of the Holy Spirit to her to protect, lead and guide her in Jesus's Holy,Powerful and Mighty name.
Never knew that about the story Into the Wild!! I'm feeling a lot more relief that's actually what happened! Wow you are so gifted with your knowledge!
Dandelion Pesto is a BOOM! what a great recipe.
Love this guy! The natural way of life is the truth !
Oxalates are neutralized by cooking. Oxalic acid can cause kidney stones, and prevents absorption of calcium, but also kills cancer cells. Best cooked. I hugely enjoyed this video! Спасибо!
It's only 28 min and I'm ready to buy your book. There were 2 things I wondered about for years and you just answered them. Excited to learn more.
Just discovered your channel. I love your personality and the way you encourage the group to participate in the learning. That is how newbies stay interested and engaged. Your enthusiasm is contagious. Great video! Very, very informative. May 26, 2021.
Awesome, awesome!!! I love foraging in my yard but I want to expand to more plants, this helps. You answered your own question about why we need supplements-- because we eat a small variety of commercially grown hybrids designed to look good thereby sacrificing nutrients, and grown in nutirient- depleted soils. So awesome to know we should be eating hundreds of varieties of plants! I will try...
22:36 "grass will sustain you" especially the meristematic bits. I'm absolutely blessed by your studies, book and the info you teach
Very valuable information and hope to meet you someday when I'm traveling that way. Thanks for your work, love your wild edibles book!
Thanks for sharing our healthy tips with our FRIENDS
Thanks a million for this valuable info and all the effort you put into sharing this content!! Such a wealth of knowledge. My walks with my daughter will be a lot more interesting from now on. Cheers mate!
l LOVED the story about how the antioxidants in your system was off the charts! Wild plants are superfoods cuz humans have bred a lot of the plants we eat for taste and bred a lot of the beneficial qualities out of them. Now think about how many more diseases we have than our ancestors did.
Your right.. now our roundup ready food is tasteless as well.
Check out Eathing/ grounding ( going barefoot out side) many, many video on you tube .God made us from the earth, the earths frequencies and our are to be the same, all the electronics, power poles and cell towers all cell phones and all the other is keeping our frequencies off, blocks alot of healing in itself , eating better and grounding you can not go wrong, many, many people have been healed of all kinds of things, each one I listen to and read the comments I have learned of more )( other kinds of healings ) God bless you , you will be glad you checked it out then share with others God' s very best to you.
Greetings from Massachusetts; many of the plants you featured grow here too. I believe the unidentified mustard @1:07:37 is common name: Honesty, scientific name: Lunaria annua or other spp.-the seedpods gave it away. When i make pine needle tea, I don't boil in real hard & I cover the pot to prevent volatile Vitamin C from escaping.
Thanks for the information. I grew up in Europe, my mother used to pick herbs to eat , watercress ,malva, for inflammation ,elderberry flowers for cough, onion peels for cough, linden tea for fever. Lemon basil for stomach pain ,Dandelion we just gave it to the pigs and rabbits. I learned more stuff today .I learned how to cook dandelion just the recent years .
Very fun walk! I very much enjoy foraging wild food. I live in Northern MN and we just got done with our Maple syrup making for the year. I think 30 hours is a little long for boiling sap but you were probably remembering the number 30 because that is how many gallons of sap that you need to make 1 gallon of syrup. We have a lot of the broad leaf plantain around here but I have never seen the lance leaf plantain.
I was raised in the woods in the mountains of KY, and eating the berries, weeds of the hills i learned that if you smelled cucumber it meant a snake was around. (stay away). this is what my Cherokee family taught me. I learn to pick Poke, other greens to eat.. tea, . I could write a long letter hear but I wont., If you ever meet an true old timer ''Kentuckian'' ask her to make you some ''blackberry dumplings''(Not cobbler) completely different....All the best. stay safe. 2020.
And stupid early settelers were trying to kill off native's and not break bread. We've come a long way baby! Amen.
Do not eat the pokeberry berries, but the young leaves and greens are okay to eat! Young leaves and stems when properly cooked are edible and provide a good source of protein, fat and carbohydrate.

Dawn Thompson Hello, I cannot remember my age, but I was n grade school when my grandmother took leaves from a Polk as big as me, she cooked up as spinach. I read an article on the berries, a remedy for an ailment I cannot remember, dry berries, swallow 3 a day for a month, then 1 a month for a year, I did the one month, I have even swallowed fresh berries, I had no ill effects. I read that juice use to be made from berries, that only 1 known case of a child died (I believe age 7) due to the broken seeds of the berries that passed through the strainer. When Polk started growing n my yard years ago, I only remembered eating it as a child, nothing else, so I searched for information, I read that the plant was poisonous, don’t eat, or, u can only eat from those no bigger than, I think 7”, ( not much to get from that size to make a pot of greens to feed a family, but a bigger plant, bigger leaves would) or don’t eat those with red stalks, red on the underside of leaves, most of my plants have red, also to boil n several changes of water, a man of around 60 said he ate it his whole life with only 1 change of water, (his words make me think of people back n the day who had limited water) I could not remember if the plant I ate as a child had red on it or not, (I don’t understand why most of my plants have red stalks and red underneath leaves) not to eat leaves when the berries start to form, I had a lot of doubt and fear, but wanted to eat this free food, I could not ask my grandmother questions cause she has passed, I could not take what all those people said to be true, cause the plant we ate from was n feet, not inches. I’m 59 now, and have eaten only from solid green plants (which don’t give me much) or eat after berries form, I think next year, I’ll sample the plants with red, (the least that will happen from sampling will be minor) I’m into dehydrating now, and what few plants I have with no red, won’t give me anything to dehydrate to eat n the winter months. I love Polk, it’s delicious! U have a wonderful day
No poison snakes where he is.
You're an amazing teacher. Thanks for the hands on and the interaction. Many of the weeds we have here in Ontario. 🇨🇦
Watching videos like these is always time well spent👍🏻
Thank you Sergei! In the morning I'm going exploring in my backyard to see what I have growing. 🙌
Dandelion great
I literally wish I had known about you doing this in 2019, I just downloaded your book. I live in Marysville (50 miles north of Seattle), Tacoma isn't that far. I am so glad you live here I want to learn so badly and that you're doing this here is so amazing. Do you do this stuff more? I'd love to come to listen to you sometime.
Fantastic I really enjoyed the presentation the knowledge not just about wild edibles but a life lesson too. Thank you so much I will be sharing this love and peace 🙏
I wouldn’t travel with wild dried tea leaves to certain countries. But I will to eat the young shoot.
*A top production, very valuable information, beautifully shot and edited*
Wow, this video is off the chain!! I love it!! Do this more often!! It's a mini movie which is clever and neat. Cool!
You def found your calling teaching this. This video is amazing. Saving it for sure.
Amazing vid!! Love the BlackBerry leaf info and the grass info is amazing! I can pick blackberry wild eat them on the cliff walk from Bray Wicklow Ireland to Greystones if it re opens after lockdown. Narrow path. People come from both directions so they closed it!! I knew plantain and dandelion. Sad we know no leaves tho we did them in primary 4-12 age school. Ireland. I forgot them!! This is lovely vid!!! Thank u tons !!
I learned some stuff😉 next time on my camping trip I'm going to make a wild salad 🥗
Couldn’t agree more!! What a fresh breath of air to hear this!
Such a good teacher. If you were ny math teacher I would be good at it. God bless you. I live in Canada I will sure try to get one of your books.
I have been so impressed with this! I must add that I don't easily get impressed to this extent. Proper sensible explanations. I loved it!
wow ! a lot of plants in your video growing around my areas . I will go explore my world after watching your clip. Thanks !
What a pleasant human. Thanks for this.
You Are a Wild Edibles Superhero Sergei !
Very comprehensive and easy to understand.
Thank you
this is the second time I run into your vidios by accident. liked every bit of it. thank you very much for your kind sharing of information the best part about it in my opinion is a young person sharing his experiences hopefully reaching our young generations. it is importent the young to know. you do have a wounderful comunication skills thank you for taking your time to share it.
I used to do the pull grass thing 2 when I was a kid . Wow . . GREAT VIDEO ..
I love this video!!! Please make more videos like this.....absolutely impressed 💜
I'm so blessed to stumble upon your videos, and to have so many of these plants in my own yard. Thank you for sharing your experiences and information! As always, I wish you well.
wow! I learned so much! Totally picking up your book and some of those other ones you mentioned. Great for our homeschool nature study. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Wow, what a teacher!!! Loved every minute of it. Thank you so very much.
Nuts and Dandelion smoothies are my favorite. I blend a stalk and 4 glazed doughnut and it's delish 😁
@@iglockman1555 that is so wrong in so many ways. I can't believe how strict that is. The only thing you can do is to not vote people like that in office. That makes me mad and I don't even live there. Seeing how someone is over controlling people like that is upsetting.
Your Class is a SAVOR OF LIFE UNTO LIFE!!!!
I just want to say thank you! Can't get enough. I'm ready for a change.
Your welcome Celia!
I want to thank you for taking the time to make this video life for me will never be the same. I'm off to forage this weekend and I really look forward to what I come up with. Thanks again!
I just found this plant. Wild pineapple weed. in my garden last year and harvest them for tea. The tea tastes soo good.
Sergei - I have taken 2 classes with your mom & dad & have quite a few of the raw family books. I was so surprised to see you making this video - & it was just a UA-cam recommendation - it came up after another video I had watched. How are you? I just subscribed to your channel, so I’ll see more of what you’re doing! Be well & enjoy life! 🌷🌿 Shannon .
You were a young man the last time I connected with your parents - I like your book “Eating without Heating.” 🌷🌿
How important is this today, thank you
GREAT ! Been studying / using wild plants for 50 yrs - around the World - as in my survival training. . Always love more info. EXCELLENT ! Got have your book in my library.
" Mtn Mel " Deweese, Ret. USN 59 - 82 , SERE -POW Inst. Sure will tell my USAF pals about your info. Best tour I had was 75-78 with the Negrito guides in the P.I at the Navy jungle school. Now 78, I am still visiting their village. THANK YOU. Super job.!
Its a blessing to see someone share there knowledge of what they love ,Thanks very enjoyable !
This video was so great and literally was what I was looking for, description, that's how you remember
Sorry Sergei. My families come from a long line of foragers, and there were things I still did not know; like pine you can/cannot use and daisies were toxic and the wild mustard with yellow flowers. I only found out about daisies 2 years ago, pines 5 - 6 years ago, mustard was years ago, and that raspberry leaves need to be fresh or fully dried, was in the last 15 years. I’m sure you are very knowledgeable and this is how we learn. If I would have heard this sooner, I would have learned about the raspberry leaves. You have a gift to teach. Please do check out what I said as fact. You taught me something. Check multiple sources including the extension service as they do the undeniable identification if you give a descent specimen.
Am about half hour into film and I think this is wonderfully educational. I started getting interested in wild foods after discovering purslane. Love this and will continue watching tomorrow
Very common sense, thank you so much!!! I would add that there are some people that are sensitive bitter tasters and just can not manage dandilion or many older weeds. I also found out weeds that used to slightly bother me have turned into mild allergies, that does happen.
I live in Olympia, WA. Since you said you are in Tacoma, if you do something like this again please hit me up. I value your knowledge.
Greetings from Spokane.. This is the resource ive been looking for, for years!
Great video and TQ so much . My next ramble will be twice as long now, because I’m going to be “foraging” even more...
