Yes Nick, wisdom comes with age. Like you I spent my youth carving a muscular toned physique, not a thought about a healthy gut microbiome. Turns out fermented foods are necessary for a host of processes such as calcium allocation, so the skill you just taught your viewers will help prevent atherosclerosis which blocks the arteries and unfortunately ends in increased risk of heart attack and stroke and in some brain plaques leading to Alzheimers and Dementia. So very well done sir, powerful stuff from the outdoors. Thank you to Hidden Valley Bushcraft.👍
Hi Nick. Great videos. Love watching these. Pine needle tea, is very good for the digestive system and is packed with vitamin C. Of course, I’m sure you know this. Stay safe. Regards.
Just subscribed to your channel I loved the wild garlic video I eat it all the time but never did it the way you showed will be watching for more foraging videos for sure
Nice one Nick I'm definitely giving this a try, our system needs a good balanced diet to thrive and this sounds like a good additive. The right foods are all the medication our bodies really need to fight off infections and desease, getting rid of mucus from our systems is also extremely important.
Superb video! Really interesting. Would be great if you could bring to life some of Lofty Wiseman's illustrations? Foraging and natures medicine plants?
Another cracking video, definitely trying this nxt spring, my immune system is knackered, so need all the help I can get, you have a great way of putting information across, so easy to understand,, good health and safe travels, cheers craig
Going to try this for my wife thanks. She has a poor immune system and has occasional gut issues. I put her on prebiotics etc... but this wild garlic sounds like a must for her. Liked and subbed cheers.
1. Safety glasses , have saved my eye , cutting fire wood fallen over sapling , spring loaded ! As I made the cut , sapling released , was like a baseball bat . 👁eyes are precious ! 2. Regular garlic bulbs , in honey , makes a great tonic , and immune booster . With time the garlic seems to ferment in the honey . 3. Prunes soaked in gin , in a jar , longer the better , years is ok still 🌝. Helps with aches and pains , makes a fantastic addition to vanilla ice cream , and camp deserts .
If you go and find some with the bulbs intact, you'll see the withered leaves still visible on the ground this time of year. With permission from the landowner, dig up some of the bulbs and take them home, plant them in dappled sunlight and they will thrive. I started with about six bulbs ten years ago and now I have about 18 square feet of them. They go wild. Start them in a pot they will self seed.
Great informative video....question...you said not to serve with sugars, would it be more beneficial to serve it with a low carb dish, pasta is very high in carbs which in turn produce ‘sugars’ ?
Smashing channel, looking forward to catching up on past vids.. This channel will go to the top.. great info well presented kool guy obviously cares about nature and the common man. Was gonna say human kind..but let's face it most ain't x
Love these videos on food/medicine and dangerous plants identification (your 10 poisonous plants video was also great). I make kimchi as I get through too much to keep buying it! Defo a +1 from me for getting some lacto foods in your diet, the change I noticed was night and day (had indigestion almost daily, now only on a heavy night on the town).
Good video Nick, thanks for posting. I mostly use natural uncanned products. I'd like to try Allium Ursinum but can't find it here; it grows mainly in Europe. There are other alliums, not that one. I've bee having a clove of garlic on an empty stomach every morning for years; good for my stomach, not so much for my breath. Will keep looking for the Ursinum, do the lacto-fermentation, and try it on my food. Thanks again, keep posting, we have a lot to learn from you.
Fantastic video, I live near Burnham beeches but I'm not sure if I've seen the wild garlic there. I'm guessing that I can use it fresh in pasta dishes etc, is that correct?
You’re amazing! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, a few days back i made a new batch of red cabbage sauerkraut 🥴👌🏻 I also really like stinging nettle thee or soup. If you haven’t looked into the medicinal propperties of the willow tree you really should, it’s one the most powerful things out there.
@@hiddenvalleybushcraft5683 your videos are valuable, informative an help people with all manners of situations. It takes a true sad act to dislike useful information, keep up the efforts! We like to learn 😁👍👍
Hey dude .. thanks for that , really want to try this -im growing my own berries herbs etc.. but defo need to try some foraged stuff.. this seems pretty simple- not sure where to find wild garlic ?- im in the midlands..hmm.. cheers.
I would love to spend a week with you to learn your knowledge and would probably even pay to if I’m honest lol. I subbed to you yesterday and gonna binge watch your vids later, keep up the great work 💪
Hi Nick new to your channel. Seems great recipe for wild garlic Pro biotic. BUT, just want to say the wood's and lane's in Devon and Cornwall are being decimated of wild garlic (ransoms). People are collecting whole black bin liner fulls for restaurants where they sell nature's free bounty for a fat profit! I'm sure you agree that this is isn't an ecological outcome for this amazing healing plant! Although I forage some I try not to be greedy about it. Please could you stress this in your next video on it. Keep up the good work. Your video on poisonous Hemlock and dropwort was really good! Camped in the van in France absolutely surrounded by it! The smell was appalling and although my husband swore blind it was cow parsley, I couldn't breathe with the toxic smell! So move we did 😭😱
I live in Australia, can this method be used on all species of garlic? I'm not sure if our wild garlic is safe to use this method, I think the species we have most commonly is Crow garlic (Allium vineale).
Great cheers, do you have the invasive few flowered leak down your way? It’s pretty bad up here for overtaking ramson. Not sure if it is quite the same nutrition wise. I think it will be tho.
@@hiddenvalleybushcraft5683 hi Nick, no mate, .we have this introduced species up here that’s causing a lot of damage to mainly Ramson it’s called Allium paradoxum it’s quite, very like, Allium truquertum but it has more ways of spreading than ramson does hence its success. Ie the flowers can create new plants down stream and it shoots out rhizomes very effectively and it flowers before Ramson too. gallowaywildfoods.com/few-flowered-leek-identification-distribution-edibility/ have a nose on this sight which give a good run down. Thanks again for the pesto and the garlic kimchi type tutorial, I’m new to actually eating wild food. I’ve read loads but you know how it is you’ve got to get out and try things.
Quick question regarding its usage. When/if adding this to soup, would I need to add it after the soup is cooked, as I imagine the simmer would probably kill off all the good stuff?
Good info. I'll be trying it with wild onion/garlic (the one that looks like chives or 'green onions'). Field behind my yard is riddled with it. After the 4 or 5 days in the cabinet, what do you do to stop or slow the fermentation...refrigerate it?
I do this nearly every year (also Sauerkraut and apple vinegar). Easy to make and so beneficial for the health. I only add it when the food is on the plate or in green smoothies, no more cooking. (People may be grateful that we have to wear FFP2 masks though lol), I guess, I stink like a beaver.
Hi Nick. I’ve been diagnosed as pre-diabetic so am on a very low carb, no sugar consuming lifestyle. Apparently I can use Xylitol (a sweetener processed from beech and birch sap). Should I eat dishes prepared with this probiotic separately from dishes or drinks prepped with Xylitol? Thanks in advance.
@@hiddenvalleybushcraft5683 I didn’t mean it in a medical sense, I meant, is xylitol considered a sugar that would destroy the pro-biotic benefits of something like this wonderful Ramsons decoction? As it’s recommended for people who shouldn’t be consuming sugars, I was wondering if it’s a sugar at all. Obviously, you’re not a doctor, and you probably aren’t a chemist either, I was simply asking if it’s something you have any knowledge of.
Another awesome video, I would like to try this to help my gut issues the only concern is being so salty as suffer from acid reflux but it’s got to worth a go 👍
What a cool video 🤘🏻 I am going to try this ! My Mrs wants to try to make wild garlic butter what do you think about that have you ever tried it pal ? Also we picked a entire bag of wild garlic last year and she did plenty of pasta with lots of wild garlic and as you no yourself it’s very strong in flavour ! Well her brother had a large amount of the wild garlic and later he said that he had what can only be described as a apocalypse on the toilet 🚽 😂😂😂 cheers for your video and from one ex-servicemen to another have a awesome day 🤘🏻 I’ve subscribed 👍🏻
Was reading this artical just this morning: www.theguardian.com/society/2021/jul/11/unlocking-the-gut-microbiome-and-its-massive-significance-to-our-health so this video came as a welcome surprise. I picked a bunch of wild garlic last spring and made a lovely soup, I'll be fermenting it next time. I'm now a great fan of your videos, thanks for sharing.
@@hiddenvalleybushcraft5683 I`m advocating youtube place a laugh button for replies lol. I don`t mean hot or cold bro ;) its not a game of marco polo Pasta is famine food constructed for peasants like us. It doesn't digest well under any circumstances like most food we see on supermarket shelves. With a salad sounds good though or could add some carbs like potatoes of some sort into the mix although potatoes are of the night shade variety and one to avoid to much consumption for people with say arthritis. Great video because for thousands of years we have been eating fermented foods and they are so good for gut flora and general health but we have gotten away from these things over the years mainly due to comfort-ability as a species
Fantastic video. I do this with cabbage and carrots quite a lot and recently I had a horrible smelly white Froth on my carrots and had to bin it and now I know why.....it's strange because for years I have done this and never sterilised the jar like you did here so thanks for the lesson....I am looking forward to next year to give the wild garlic a try.......the only Pandemic is compliancy to something that is not as harmful to 99% of humans as is the normal flu season....that's a well researched fact that the BBC won't tell you but you will hear from experts in virology on the Richie Allen show....check out his website for some unbiased real journalism.....if it's on the telly is mostly BS ✋🏼👍

I've found my favourite new bushcraft channel
@@hiddenvalleybushcraft5683 I have loads of wild garlic, down near the river by my house, I will definitely be trying this!
I ferment cabbage all the time, absolutely obsessed with it. Dying to try this...

Another gem Nick.
Great video again Nick, it looks great and garlic is very good for chest colds too.
Looking forward to the next one. 👍👍😁😁

I ferment quite a few things. Growing wild garlic on my allotment. Should be good for next year, so I'll try it.
Thanks .
This makes me want to learn to forage 😊🌿 I wonder if I can grow this stuff too if its not in the area 🐓
