Eating Wild Food is Very Important!

- More than ever before, integrating wild foods is extremely important if you want nutrition from the food you eat. Why? Some answers to this are in this video.
This is a very condensed version of a presentation I recently gave.

Ruminant cows / cows that roam and eat grass that naturally grows without fertilizer are highly nutritious, even today. And their feces naturally fertilizes the soil - couldn't be more environmentally sustainable. Eat grass fed beef (especially liver), and pasture raised eggs (from chickens that roam and eat bugs and weeds and/or seeds instead of grains). Those are superfoods high in nutrition.
I agree with you, those are super foods. Wild edibles are also super foods. It is crucial for many of us to eat with the seasons to support our lymph, liver and connection to the earth. Spring brings fresh eggs from the coop, along with sauteed dandelion, lambs quarter and violet. Seasonal abundance nourishes more than just the physical body.
I shared this on my little channel in hopes of encouraging others to understand what has been happening to us all and our animals over the years from chemicals, preservatives, processed foods, and add in the whole medication supplement etc to the mess and here we are today in a sickly mess. Thank you for your videos. ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this. So many people have no idea why they get sick. Food can heal - but it can ultimately take our life.
Just checked out your channel - you have a new subscriber!! Where abouts do live?
@@EdibleWildFood-1 I am in SC Pee Dee region not far from the coast. Thank you! Hoping to get a new walkaround video out this week.
Thank you! 😊
Take wild foods into your garden, they will grow like weeds. I am fortunate I vhave a farm on 40 A on land that was only used for cattle pasture, never row crops. I have owned it 35 years and never used chemicals of any kind. It was brush and timber when I bought it. I used goats to clear the brush and enjoyed milk and cheese,xand s bit of profit since goats are easy to raise, they are the domestic animal equal of wild foods. I have stinging nettle, dandelion, curly dock, dock, wild lettuce and chicory all gathered from the wild in my small garden along with nonGMO plants I obtain from the local Amish nurseries. Nice composted straw from barns make my soil so enriched I get many times the harvest one would expect. Also those eild 'weeds' actually CHANGE in a few years to become much more akin to already 'domesticated' varieties. You can achieve this on very little area if you modify the scale. Use rabbits for soil enrichment as their manure can be used fresh just like goat or sheep manure.bFresh chicken manure cannot be used, too much nitrogen it will burn your plants.
Forgot to add. BURDOCK a very important and necessary part of a good medicinal herb collection. DON'T PUT THAT IN YOUR GARDEN THO. I also have yarrow which I grow in an old discarded bathtub, great results with that too. Keep burdock along walkways where you can control it and remember it is biennial. Watch those flower stalks and clip the heads BEFORE they open fully leaving just a few to form seeds, the burrs of burdock. The Japanese even use this plant as a root vegetable. I find the leaves make a great poltice for minor sound and especially burns.
Don't forget to plant your herbal medicinals, BURDOCK AND YARROW, are very easy to grow just plant them where the won't become invasive. BURDOCK is a biennial so clip the flower stalks before they get fertilized. Leave A FEW to form seeds. Yarrow I have planted in an old discarded tub and the plants love it. The goats had finally managed to decimate my yarrow in the pastures and actually I couldn't find any. But I still had some dried hanging the basement from at least five years past. I used the seeds from those to plant and while hopeful they would germinate, I expected failure. They surprised me by growing. Goes to prove my motto...never give up. If you don't know the virtues of BURDOCK research it, a veritable treasure, not merely a noxious weed.
You are so blessed!! The fun you must have with that much land!!!
Unfortunately a lot of forage-able foods contain plant toxins such as oxalates. Dandelions and daisies are examples of high oxalate plant foods. Some typical grocery store vegetables contain high amounts of oxalates too, though
Many leafy greens have oxalates - no escaping them! Spinach, swiss chard, kale, collard greens, celery, parsley, endive, beetroot greens, and turnip greens are examples.
@@EdibleWildFood-1 The high-oxalate ones can be avoided. I try to avoid them, as I had calcium oxalate build-up in my inner ear causing vertigo. It can also lead to kidney damage. I mostly eat high quality meats now (meats have zero oxalates) for that reason. Plants are the chemists of nature, seeking ways to make themselves less desirable for eating (defense mechanism)
@@jays7318 Sorry to hear you have the build up.
Thank you. I was curious about this plant that grows everywhere in my woods...i thought there might just be something useful about the plant and not just the invasive weed it seems to be. Now I know its name is garlic mustard and it will be as useful as my discovery of the stinging nettle ..which is my lifesaving antihistamine plant for allergies. Save tons of money not buying sudafed or clariton which i really Dont want to take. Great Info Thanks ❤
Thank you for sharing that!! And many thanks for watching!!
Yes I try to include Elk and Buffalo Steaks when I can afford them! Otherwise it has to be porkypine, crawdads and feral pigs !
☘️🌱Don't know why but couldn't find any of your vids, after scrolling thru pages n pages, 2 separate searches. Hopefully it's just on my end and u r not shadow⛈️banned😢Anyhoo, found your website saved in my bookmarks & followed link back to YT. Happy Spring🌞🌙✨🫡
Oh my - thank you for persisting!! I think it is something at your end as I know many of my vids show up in searches. I haven't stepped over that line to be shadow banned..... but at the rate things are going, it wouldn't surprise me if it happens one day. :(
It's glyphosate, not glysophate.
Thank you for that!
Yes, it's on my end. It won't let me respond to your response, lol! It keeps immediately closing it😫 Oh well, thankful you are still producing awesome work. Spring wouldn't be the same without you!👏🌼TY🫡
Oh my gosh I have goosebumps. You are so incredibly kind, thank you. I'm working on a really good one about nutrition - I'll have it out in a week or two! (I have other projects on the go too!) (Too bad my day job gets in the way! lolol)
