1:15 properly, identify the plant as well as the cleanliness of its source of water. Some plants concentrate heavy metals more than others. This is one that does infect concentrate more heavy metals that is safe if the water source is tainted in anyway which it most likely is, unless it comes directly from an artesian Springs.
Great info! I've been looking around my area for all the native edibles I can gather and and eat for about two years now. Lots of acorns, coffee berries, grapes, honey suckle, Bay leaf nuts, black berries, pine nuts, manzanita berries, elder berries, madrone berries, soap root, and dandelion just to name a few.
Your patch of Wapato is a traditional harvest area. I was just checking on it. Of course my rez is 5 miles away. Camas is amazing. Tastes like waffles and maple syrup . Also try the Columbia Gorge Onion. Huge flavor and quite spicy. Good luck
I enjoy watching all your videos, especially the ones where you forage for wild foods. Don’t suppose you know about any wild foods that are found in the mountains? I live in Utah, close to a mountain range.
I found a very large stand of wapatos at the shores edge off an island. This island is found within a river. This river is not known to have any industrial pollution other than sewage, and the occasional e-coli outbreak. Would it be safe to harvest these wapato as long as I cook and or roast them? Since this river is in a city that is very clean and is not an industrial hub other than a pulp mill which has been shut down for 50 plus years, would you take a chance at harvesting these. It would be an awful waste to let these go unharvested unless the geese are enjoying them. Thanks!
Sure why not. Just wash them well can give them a good cook. I'd be more worried about nasty bugs then .000000000000000000000000000000001 of fertilizers or lead.
So, how would one plant more of these? Obviously, we should try to plant back as many as we can whole harvesting, but I don't see an obvious way with this type of plant.
I love your videos I want to live like this out in Montana when I'm older with my dad, and you are a great inspiration
I love this type of information keep the video coming.
