There is a plant that grows in Arizona, thats seed pods look very similar but the tips curl around like rams horns sometimes more than full circles. Used to be everywhere when i went to laird grade school in tempe when tempe still had large undeveloped sections in 1966. Very similar but always full circular ram horn shapes to the protruding hooks.
This is actually quite a a beauty plant. I randomly grew one in my garden from a pile of dirt that I was gifted. The stems truly do gleam and thick. The seed pods are one of a kind and I have them growing right now. When you touch it, it does have a sticky dewy feel. The small pink flowers are a beautiful. I’m in zone 8 in Texas.
I remember when I was a kid living outside of Phoenix in a place called white tanks. I would find these what I called cat claws ,and actually have to get them off my horses Legs sometimes, Thank you for your video and the information. I never even knew that they were edible. Great to learn something new every day.😊😊
Wow. When I grew up in Arizona nobody lived in the white tank mountains west of Phoenix. Used to hike there to remote springs and watch military planes fly over from Luke airbase. The flares dropped from military jets used to trick the city folks into believing in ufos.
We are always finding the opened, dried devils claw pods in the desert east of El Paso, but I have never knowingly seen a devils claw plant or their immature pods in person. I would like to get some really good plant identifying pictures and know when is the best time to go look for a living plant. You said that some of these are annuals or are they all annuals? That said, those in my area must be annuals and wither away to NOTHING! Lol
Another way you can tell the difference is by the seeds. Wild devils claw seeds are black with short fruit. The domesticated devils claw have white seeds with longer fruited claws.
I use pick these when they'd get stuck on my jeans when me and my family use to chop weeds in the cotton fields. That was work and most people have no idea.
These two plants are a different "devil's claw" than the one commonly mentioned as a medicine. I haven't found much medicinal information our native southwest species. They were mostly used for food, and were even more important for basketry.
@@savedbygracethroughfaithjesus I've found some good information regarding this plant, if you like you can message me in discord and I'll share it as well as tell you more about it's history, usage, applications, and how to propagate it.
5 years ago I developed an extreme curiosity about wild edible plants 🌵. So i began studying and watching others who teach about such awesome stuff. You seem to be extremely awesome and knowledgeable. I love learning especially when the teacher is hot. You're kinda hot so 🤘😆 I'll pay attention moe betta 💚

If anyone has ever pickled okra, these can be pickled the same way and taste amazing! Kinda like a spicy okra. We call it the poor man's okra
The bee was such a cute surprise!

Thank you for the video. Which one of them is stronger medicinally?

Is this the same devilsclaw as the african ?
No it's a different species
i just found ten of these plants growing on my property.
Same here and it's been almost impossible trying to find a good video that explains how to harvest and use it

I cannot find Proboscidea Althaeifolia seeds 😢
Etsy
I always wondered what they were when I saw the dead dried ones. They always scared me and made me think of a tiny woolly mammoth skull 😂
As a Chiricahua we eaten
It smells like dirty pool water to me. The seeds taste good tho once dried it has a pine cone seed taste (purple flower)
That's accurate, but once cooked the fishy flavor goes away. They're bitter but still pretty tasty.
