#NatureToGo

Mmm, summertime means food on a stick: corn dogs, pronto pups, and...cattails? In this week's #NatureToGo, naturalist Teresa Root shares three ways you can harvest and and eat different parts of a cattail. Enjoy the sprouts in early spring, female flower before pollination, pollen in end of June, and roots in fall.
Watch to learn more-and then maybe head to the Minnesota State Fair for the real deal! 🌭
