LOL the instant regret on that handful of beauty berries was priceless...way to power through it, John! Thanks for sharing
Lambs Quarters are one of my favorites.. It grows around my property, from seeds I have planted.. I eat it fresh (raw & cooked), freeze it and dry it.. I use it as flakes to sprinkle on food..
I had sumac growing wild and profuse on my property back in Minnesota. Very edible. Same thing with lambs quarter. As long as I picked only less than half of the lambs quarter it would branch out and come back even thicker and stronger. Tastes pretty good too.

Need to know
***** Do you eat it on salads or is it better cooked?
LadyFlora Lambs Quarters I mean. lol
dear john...
i've been without internet for a little while besides the first model of smart phone. it's nice to be able to click and kick back and gain some more knowledge about how to take better care of my family and myself... you are great and i wish you and yours the best possible. thanks for all the videos you work so hard on.
I cannot believe you have a video that covers American Beautyberry! One of these started growing wild in my yard a couple of years ago, and I avoided it because I figured it was poisonous. Then I looked it up on UA-cam, and here's this video. This year I'll harvest the beautiful purple berries.
Love this guy! Thanks John for the great info on Lambs Quarters.
We have the stag horn sumac here in the north east. I have made tea with this and it tastes like an astringent lemonade. I like to filter it through a cloth because the berries have fine hairs. I sweeten it with maple surup.
Absolutely true. Green is healthy!
Hey John,
One thing about the sumac after it "goes by"; here in Louisiana especially, they tend to sour when they are fairly dry. Due to the rain. In a drier climate it may not happen or not as much anyway.
You can get a very light pink lemonade color and taste with just a short time of soaking the berries. Then add your sweetener after you strain it through cheese cloth or some other type of cloth. Then to make sure you've gotten all the fine hairs out(these are where the citric acid comes from), also strain it through a coffee filter.
I like to let mine soak overnight because you get a much deeper magenta color as well as a much deeper taste. I'll let you be the judge of what it tastes like.
Thank you John for sharing and your hardwork!!
This was great, hope you do more talks with Craig Sommers :)
Those are gorgeous. Mine is still in the pot I bought it in, so it didn't put out as many berries as it would have, had I gotten it planted. I'm not far from Austin and they're in the wild everywhere here in central Texas. I think they have a weird (not really chalky, but) flavor feel when you eat them, but I never thought about juicing them... I think that is a PERFECT application for beauty berries. Thanks for the information.
Thank you, and God bless you!
If he is near Austin, Texas then he is near me. Never have seen any of that around here. I am surprised the cactus was not mentioned. I love it when the plethora of cactus around here all have the fruits. :) So much to eat.

the beauty Berry are all over my cent Fla yard. The chickens and the goats love them. They make a great jelly, but they lose their color during the canning process as well.
as always, thanks for your research!
Sumac grows as an ornamental here in the UK and occasionally wild, I find the berries like super strength lemon oil. Probably better as a spice than a food item imo
Great video John! Mahalo!
I enjoyed this, thanks
if you have a water table digging a well is much more practical than rainwater catchment
if your ground water is not clean enough to water your crops with you probably should not be growing food on that plot
Every time me and my gf go to austin we always see that furst bush with the berries and I always contemplate eating them. Next time I'm just going to eat some and see what she says. John it wiuld be cool if you come to houston again and let me know all the best places yo buy starts
No, one mentioned about how good Sumac tea tastes.It is not a survival food but a delicious treat you could and would want to drink everyday.Tastes kind of line Pink lemonade only much beter.Tastes really good when made with ice cold on a hot day .Really refreshing!
I think zooming on the plants would have done a lot better. Thanks all the same. Informative.
Can you zoom in sometime. Would luv a closeup identification of the fruit.
Hey John,
You mentioned the rainwater from the catchment system's taste. And you recently posted on facebook that your 2nd favorite type of water to drink is fresh spring water and your first favorite is coconut water. Could you do a video telling us about the benefits of drinking different types of water, including your preferences and possibly methods of obtaining these different types of water? It would be helpful to know what type of barrel I need to use in order to store rainwater for drinking and ways I might need to treat it once stored. If you already have a video like that, what is it called? And i've recently been on a coconut water kick, I've been finding bottles at my grocery store for 9cents per ounce of liquid. Do you buy your coconut water in bulk? It would be nice to buy it by the gallon or 2.5 gallon jugs.
Is there any way you can do more on the rain water collector and how about setting up one correctly.
Dehydration and vacuum packing them is probably superior to freezing, especially if they are losing their color after being frozen.
Freeze drying is better yet at preserving the color and flavor of foods. Home units are now available from the Harvest Right company, but are pretty expensive.
Awesome video...
Wow, I like Craig!
When I hear sumac I always think of the word poison. Looked it up. Toxicodendron vernix, Guess this is a special kind here.
Actually, it's the other way around. Poison sumac is rare. Non-poisonous are much more prevalent. White or gray berries are poisonous, the red berries are not and are safe. But, you should be sure to be safe.
I cannot agree more than what you say. I harvest water all the water.
Whats the name of that 1st of the 5 purple native plant mentioned by Dr Craig Sommers again please.
Info you need is listed in the description =)
i need one of that guys smoothies
Lambsquarter is EXTREMELY high in oxalic acid (causes gout) it should be cooked--no salt.
cool now i am gonna go out back chop my tree down and eat it,and make tea out of my lawn clippings that should last me a good while.
Good ,go do that.
Hi..How about vit. With there antioxidants ? If I can't get the vegetables will I get the same benefits from the vit? R..
Pine needles has 150x than oranges if you know about it.
Dates are better when they're not fresh. Some things aren't really palatable when they are "fresh". Of course, as you say, you are more likely to get more out of it if it's raw and young.
It's beautiful
Sumac looks like the tree of heaven and mountain ash. How can you tell the difference?
I often hear people say that pine needles decrease alkalinity (make soil more acidic). I've read this is a false assumption. And confirmed with experimentation. In an area of my yard where pine needles fall and are left for umpteen years to compost, I used a ph reader, and found the soil to be the same ph as everywhere else in my yard. On the other hand, pine bark, after composting might increase acidity. If chopped, and composted, pine needles could possibly, but they are not easily chopped up, and if you are relying on them to change your ph... don't bother.
I sit under some pine trees in my neighborhood (lol) there are tons of fire ants - Maybe their nests are not there, but they are!
So can I get these in Alabama
some pine needles are poisionous so be careful
John, I'm not sure if it's just me, but the (audio) levels in the intro needs to be fixed. Way to bassy. I always have to turn down the volume during the intro and turn back up after the intro.
RIP Headphone users.
Any time you see color its antioxidants? Yew tree berries, Bittersweet Nightshade, and poison ivy have nice color, eat up!
Actually, the 'berries' (technically an 'aril') of the yew are edible! The rest of the plant is toxic, including the seed. The berries of the American nightshade are also edible. EatTheWeeds has a well-researched website and UA-cam channel that provides more information. Enjoy!
Are Sumac and " Poison Sumac ' actually the same thing? Silly question I know but...
I would like to know also. Sumac causes a nasty rash just like poison ivy.
I love hippies
Didn't expect him to sound like that at all lol
omg I've been trying to figure out what kind of tree that sumac was for YEARS.
I've always seen them growing abundantly through the countryside along the side of the freeway EVERY time we take a roadtrip, and once I got past the fact that they were abundant (&therefore probably taken for granted), I found them visually BEAUTIFUL.
I canNOT with pine needles tho'. The smell makes me sick & I LOATHE them in general because they are relative to xmas-- & I HATE xmas -- or rather, what xmas has *become* as a result of selfish/phony/materialistic humans. Sometimes Hubby puts them in my car around the holidays just to tick me off. One day, Imma beat him up for that!! (And since it's *that* time of year, it might be SOON.)
UGH!! I HATE the holiday season.... Ok. Rant over.
I like that Dr. Craig. You should have him on again. And maybe edit your vids to be little more concise... please. Thanks, good job.

Those interested in learning about wild and naturalized plants that are edible can check out the UA-cam channels: EatTheWeeds, Blanche Cybelle Derby, and Arthur Haines. EatTheWeeds also has an excellent website with hundreds of wild and also garden plants that are edible, with detailed info on which parts to harvest and when, and also how to prepare them. The site is exceptionally well-researched and accurate.
Regarding frozen berries, there has been recent research showing benefit from this in blueberries. I can see how this might also apply to other berries.

damn,tree huger eat a 16 oz steak.
Did you mean hugger?
This pseudoscience in this in palpable, it stuns me how he can make some of the statements he does with such confidence.
+Jimkbbh people been doing this for 1000s of years, guess your just brainwashed
if only I weren't alergic to evergreens :(
Many people who are allergic to pine pollen have no problem with pine needle tea or pine nuts, but caution is appropriate.
It's really sad that there is such an epidemic of allergies, especially over the past few decades as infants have had more and more foreign substances injected into them starting earlier and earlier in life, even from birth. Those wanting more info can see 'The Truth About Vaccines' documentary series, available on UA-cam and elsewhere.
I can't do pine, pine nuts, or tree nuts. It stinks to high heaven.
Almost dying is not cool...
Without a close up of the plant, I would never know what I was looking at. Not helpful. No physical description of the plant
UA-cam channels like EatTheWeeds, Blanche Cybele Derby, and Arthur Haines include more information on identifying wild and naturalized edible plants, and also how to prepare them.
I don't think water has taste
+Jonathan Zou you have not tastes nasty well water my friend lol
Distilled water has no taste
WOW FIRST HES GROWING WEED NOW HES EATING WEED!!! WTF THIS GUYS CHANNEL IS TURNING INTO A DRUG PROMOTION CHANNEL! NO MORE OF THIS I MIGHT END UP UNSUBSCRIBING THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE!
You have pretty eyes.
Great Antioxidant analogy. My brain hurts :)
