    I love that you're celebrating a number of videos you've made rather than a number of subscribers like so many youtubers do. You're celebrating something you have done, accomplished, rather than just popularity or what the algorithm favors or just luck. 200 videos is something you chose to do and have control over. Such a good attitude.
    Also cool to award prizes based on engagement rather than just randomly to people who watch this one. I didn't make the cut but much respect to those who did!

    We had tons of chokecherries where I grew up in Quebec in the sixties... Mom made lots of jelly every year, and I even made a batch of *really* good wine one time!
    Congratulations on video 200! Wishing you the ability to make many more! ❤ 👍

    Where I live there are some growing on the ATV trail. It used to be a rail bed so we know it's government not private land so we were free to pick them. I got so many. Walking back to the car was a struggle and we only picked the ones that were easy to get. I'm going to make a ton of jelly on my next day off. I need to get new lids tomorrow for my jars.

    I was just walking yesterday and made a short video about chokecherries. I have never made anything out of them, I think I will try. Ours in Wisconsin are not really sweet, but more like a nut flavor, and your mouth can feel a little dry after eating them. I have eaten the seeds and spit them out too all of my life, and I am 68, but as a precaution to others, it was only a few seeds I ate, I like the flavor of them too..... now I have less teeth, lol. Thank you for the fun video!

    We have the Prunus serotina (black) wild cherries that you showed here in northwestern Arkansas, but if we have choke-cherries I've never noticed and/or not aware of them. The Prunus serotina proliferate in our rural areas, and the farmers here (mostly livestock) fear them greatly because the leaves ARE fatally poisonous to their animals. I don't get out in the woods as much as I used to when I was much younger and stronger, but I used to eat handfuls of the Prunus serotina with the thin-shelled seeds. The fruits are very sweet, but the seeds contain a lot of the cyanic oil, which tastes like almond extract. That substance is also known as Amygdalin, and is purportedly a powerful cancer-fighter. I've never suffered any ill effects at all from eating the whole fruit, but perhaps it's because of a promise in the Bible which I take quite seriously - Mark 16:17.

    • @EdibleWildFood-1
      @EdibleWildFood-1  Рік тому

      I mention amygdalin in the video I just posted! I enjoy eating a couple of apricot seed kernels once every few days - I believe this is healthy - and yes... many swear by them to help treat cancer.

      @@EdibleWildFood-1 Yes! I just now saw that one! Apricot seeds are illegal on the open market, but I order them from an online store that has the same name as a great river in the Amazon jungle. One commenter on UA-cam said you can safely eat as many as 20 per day, but I'm not recommending that. Awfully bitter. Best in highly sweetened smoothies. 🙂
