I believe this is the stuff Kids should learn at school. gives them a natural way of appreciation for nature and they learn what i believe truly important stuff
But they will not. Because the government doesn't want them to know. The parents should teach them. I teach my daughter to identify plants. We forage together, with my husband and daughter. It's so nice to make recipes and eat from the land. We love it.
You are great man, During food crisis, Every one need to follow your way
So we need to force ourselves to be herbivores? If there's a food crisis stop trying to destroy the farmers.
thank you for continuing to remind us there is food & medicine all around us
Food be thy medicine
Buy a bike and have some fun.
@@Deontjie I have a bike & I ride it all the time - great fun!~
This is something we do in Assam. Going to the paddy fields in winter when it is dry and collect different herbs.
My dad had a restaurant in the plaza we used to go forage in central park in the 80s. We used to forage mushrooms, berries and 📱
I learn so much from these videos. how can i have lived so long and not even know what a poltice is. And so many of these plants are new to me. Good to be learning about these.
Rob, I really love your energy! You are naturally funny and your videos always brighten our day! Thank you for all that you do!
Dear Rob
I'm inspired by watching your videos. Thank you for showing how we can live happily in simple ways without owning too much. I'm eventually getting rid of most of my stuff. Hoping to be like you or at least half of what you are. Truly inspiring .
Thank you
When I was a youngster, I ate from the bushes, trees, vines, and ground without washing. After seeing bird poop on leaves and fruit, going through the bird flu and mad cow periods, and learning more about canine and vermin diseases, I have gotten a little more careful. Still, I love many wild edibles.
thank you
Wow, so much abundance!! Awesome video, really inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing.
I hope you'll share some recipes. Sometimes with the wild abundance it feels like cooking creatively (especially when you're using a lot of the same ingredients) is the hardest part!
It must have taken a lot of travel to have all of these in season in the same month! I see what I would consider spring, summer, and fall forages in here.
@Rob Greenfield Team I know a lot of "spring" greens come back in the fall, so I wasn't surprised by that. Makes sense that the edge of summer and fall would maximize options.
Rob you doing great job, let us continue making our world Paradise, free food access for humanity!
Whenever I watch videos like this one, I am reminded of the times my family and I lived in the deep country and foraged a good variety of wild edibles. We did not have knowledge of the large variety that I have seen in the many videos across the past 7 years, but now I can identify about 80 wild edibles without a doubt. I grew up eating about half of them. Although there are others that I can name, and recognize, I am not ready to eat them with the assurance of not making a mistake. For example, I know the difference between purslane and spurge, but I am not ready to eat it (purslane). I raised some in pots. They produce a "zillion" seeds and are so invasive. Still, they are pretty in full bloom!
I enjoyed this video.
I agree 👍 100 % keep foraging & keep letting peoples know what there missing put on ,all that greens 4 free.🌱🌱🌿☘️🍃🌱 🤗 ty great 👍
Id hate to calculate how many people have starved to death while food was within reach
You are quite brave to eat a plant growing next to a pile of manure. Some of these edibles, like wild apples, do not grow in my area. Great info.
Great video thank you
Thx Robin! You should collaborate with"she is of the woods"! It would be a magical event!
amazing knowledge!!! keep it up Rob much appreciated for the shared info.
Fantastic content and fantastically motivating
Excellent video! Thank you so much for sharing your insight and experience with all of us!
You’re amazing!
Wow! The longs grains of that rice looked amazing. I've really been enjoying the Lundberg Short Grain Organic Brown lately. Grown close to home and organic. Not as environmentally friendly as wild-grown rice, but as good as we get down here.
10:15 Rob's mating dance.... love it.
Maitake find omggg
Let me start by saying I love everything Rob stands for and teaches us about. 🌱🌿🌍 However, I have to ask what is up with that applesauce? That is the strangest looking applesauce I've ever seen and yes I've made it with the skin on. Please, someone tell me why it looks like that? It makes me nervous 😜
@Rob Greenfield Team oh!!! Thanks very much. I didn't want the world to lose him to food poisoning. 😜

no sound at the 5min mark (just a head's up for you ^_^)
@Rob Greenfield Team Dude, i am not making fun of you, check specifically "4:55 to 5:13" in your video, that 1-clip has no sound -_-" (I checked twice...) [Hang on, maybe check if it is just Mono-sound instead of Stereo-sound, K ^_^] That might be the issue
Where do you live to find all of these foods? new york?
2 part jewel weed oil 1 part creeping Charlie oil and 1 part plantain oil and you have itchy owie oil. Any scratches or bug bites instantly stop itching
Thank you so much Rob..
It does me no good to just watch this video I must practice the knowledge it has given me
You didn't mention mallow or malva. AKA cheeseweed because the seeds look like little wheels of cheese. You can take the leaves and fry them and put a little salt on, and they're more delicious than any potato chips.
Is this the plant/shrub that has white and or purple/pink flowers that look like small hibiscus flowers aka Rose of Sharon?
fantastic video.
I love this
Wow amazing!
Thank you Rob!!!
I love tjis
Amazing video!!!
Thoughts on the risk posed by eating plants that grew in soil contaminated with heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, and cadmium? In the gardening world we are taught to either limit what we grow or not grow food altogether in soil polluted with such toxic agents. Unfortunately, this is an extremely common problem in urban areas.
Aren't there concerns for herbicides and pesticides etc especially eating vegetation in urban areas?
I think pollution is more of an issue than pesticides. Pesticides are widely used in commercial agriculture
What about people and other animals pooping or peeing on them ? 🤔
Yes, however that concern exists for buying food at the store as well, even if they are organic.
You learn how to identify areas that are more sprayed, and avoid them if that is your choice. There are plenty of safe areas to forage.
@@Robin.Greenfield I thought about it and I agree with you, all those fecal fingers touching everything in the stores too, oh well.
@@Robin.Greenfield have you made a video about how to tell if pesticides have been used on the food
Are you concerned about microplastic and contamination from cars, when with eating plants right next to busy roads?
He is more concerned about the contamination from industrial pesticides on food from the global industrial food systems.
He goes over this in another video. I believe it's titled "harvesting my food and medicine by the roadside" or something similar.
Here is a video where I discuss this: ruclips.net/video/Hyr32aLEpZY/видео.html
Good video.
💫 Genius 💫
If we all foraged 100% of our food, we'd all have flat glorious abs like my guy.
No, we wouldn't. We would have barren lands and people breaking into other people's back garden for a snack...
That's why cavemen invented this crazy new thing called gardening.
@@christopherbennett6571 Your argument doesn't negate what I said. We could have barren lands and people breaking into each other's back yards, and still have flat abs. In fact, your argument seems to support my contention, because if we were all that desperate for food, beer bellies and love-handles would certainly be a thing of the past.
But more to the point, you don't seem to have an accurate picture of how hunter-gatherer societies function. They are a great deal more cooperative and inclined towards sharing than capitalist societies. In hunter-gatherer societies, theft is almost unheard-of, in stark contrast to the rates of theft among industrialized nations.
You can read fascinating sociological and anthropologic firsthand accounts of how hunter-gatherers address situations like famine, and learn much more about human nature than the TV, with all of its zombie apocalypses, can reveal. It's fashionable these days to be extremely cynical about human nature, and to believe that the first hint of trouble will turn us all into snarling beasts, but actual studies have proven that the opposite is true.
If you're interested in this subject, I would recommend the book 'A Paradise Built in Hell', which is about how communities and individuals behave in the wake of a disaster. If you have any interest in what hunter-gatherer societies are actually like (outside of dystopian fiction), but reading dry scientific studies doesn't appeal to you, I would recommend 'The Snow Walker' or 'No Man's River' by Farley Mowat, in which we see arctic tribes dealing with severe food shortages, or 'Life Amongst The Modocs' by Joaquin Miller, which beautifully describes the lifestyle of the Modoc people of northern California.
Also, not to be a nit-picker, but "cavemen" didn't invent gardening. The evidence suggests that it was invented by nomadic pastoralists.
If you make a long video series with like this but more in depth I would buy it without hesitation 😄🌾🌿🌱💽
They should teach in schools ❤
Love from Atlanta 🌱💚
so cool!
where did you find the pawpaw?
Thanks Rob! Its wonderful and inspiring to see and follow your journey! I've definitely started to learn about edible plants around me and there's definitely more than i thought, i just wish it was easier to learn more and quicker and also every plant sometimes has its own way of processing to store, would be so much easier to know all this. But.. one step at a time! I Guess in the mix for more fat,.it would still be good to get milk or cheese from animals? Just a thought. I really love your foraging series, just dont lose too much weight if you're going to do this for one year! Im sure you can do it! Awsome job!
I have a black walnut tree near my house and I used to eat them but they’re dirty and takes a lot of effort to open
What an amazing compilation video! Thank you Rob! I am afraid that I would eat the wrong thing and be sick. I wish I had a friend like you!
maybe ask around, maybe they are closer than you think, then you can all foraging together
There are apps to identify plants like PictureThis. Just get familiar with stuff that grows commonly in your area. As a kid, I’d see chives grow around the soccer fields my brother played in. I kept recognizing it as a recurrent thing so I asked my parents what it was. Chives we’re my first herb. The underground part is what you want though
Use my Find a Forager database to find friends in your area!
robgreenfield.org/findaforager
But where?
I forage, including foraging community and display garden compost heaps.
Have you considered foraging seeds to sprout, grow microgreens, etc. ?
Crabapples that taste,,, bad, usually just need to go through a bletting period. That means they need to stay on the tree and blett, or you could say mellow, or ferment. Notice that the wild animals don't eat the crab apples until late fall, early winter, or even spring. They are delicious after they finish their long ripening. Sort of like a super flavorful apple sauce. Notice when the wild animals are feasting on them. That's when they taste the best. I live in the upper midwest, where it gets truly cold. There are delicious crabapples you can eat fresh in the fall but the ones that taste bad in the early fall (when we think of eating apples) will usually taste delicious in the winter.
Can you do a recipe video with all the items you forage I would love to see what you make with it❤
WOW Rob!! What a very educational look at edible and medicinal plants. I design and care for gardens so I am outside everyday, and see these plants a lot! It would be fun to use the so-called "weeds" as food or medicine. Your enthusiasm and knowledge is very contagious, you are a good teacher! Have you ever tried a purslane salad?? Take care and thanks 🙏😊
Of course, I love purslane. It's one of my favorite veggies!
@@Robin.Greenfield Rob, I am so impressed with your many messages! I've seen some of your videos in the last couple of days, and you are such an example of everything that is right with the world! I'm writing my lists and asking myself, what else can I do? And that's a lot! What if my house is not a good set up for solar? I am very aware of the energy I am using, but still I am using electricity...Eating mostly a plant based diet, I haven't eaten meat for 45 years, gave up about five years ago all forms of fish, gave up milk a couple of months ago, and hadn't eaten any other dairy for years, I deal with a lot of food allergies, I can't just eat anything I want, so it's kind of tricky for me. I've been eating mostly organic for many years. I care deeply about animals, so this was very important to me. Working on myself emotionally and spiritually, which is one of the best things everyone can do to watch your psychological patterns of negativity and positivity, Truly get to know yourself, and then you will have so much more compassion for others. I could write a very long list of what I am doing, but that's probably not what you want here in this small space 😁....I am kind of tired talking to others when they act like this environmental problem is just something to talk about and not act on....I work outside as a garden designer/gardener, and can teach others the wonders and beauty of our natural world, and I do that, that is a gift to me, and then passing it on to others. I think some things that I've said and done/lived, will encourage others....I am becoming more empowered and not feeling so sad/helpless about our planet, but sometimes I do. What are your words of wisdom?
Nicest vídeo, iv recognize a lot
Laaa e laaha ill lal laaw ( there's no God but the God) blessing for you
Plants forage us just as easily depending on what coast you are located. The field guide on the last class I attended demonstrated a violent version of what you’re describing. My family will do things your way from now on. I PROMISE you
imagine walking by and you see this 7:07
Son, stay back! That’s a wild animal.
Thanks for reminding me that all those plant are not growing here in the Philippines will you make ediable weed for my country Philippines
Can't wait to buy some Wild Water from the store.
Where do you live at that you just have all this wonderful stuff growing around you 😭
This is common around much of the world. You just need to learn the plants and you'll see the world differently!
Here's my beginner's guide to foraging:
robgreenfield.org/foraging
04:58 - No sound ... Thanks for this vital inspiration!
1:02 What % of your calories would you say wild rice made up?
I've found that aside from a staple like that, foraging really is mostly only good for a bit of trail snack supplementation here and there, and of course only seasonally with each plant (so in the Winter and Spring, you're screwed). As most of the plants you've shown only provide some leaves and maybe a few nuts/berries/fruits. For example, Black Nightshade (10:19) does have some good-tasting berries, but are only in season right now and they are quite small around ~1/4".
One you did leave out is wild grapes...particularly their leaves. Grapevines grow very prolifically in some regions, so their leaves make abundant greens.
I would say about 25% of my calories were wild rice. There are many staples that are high in calories and I have foraged many of them. They are not the focus of the foraging literature, but they are there. Sam Thayer's books are excellent for this:
www.foragersharvest.com/sams-books.html
Your kinda weird man…. But I kinda love what your doing and your energy hahaha peace and love rob ☮️
Can you do this but in Florida or preferably South Florida
Hi! So you are NOT in FL anymore? Are you coming back?
Hope he ... explain the health benefits of those plants he ate 🥰
I know all of those
👏👏👏
do you have a book out on everything
The crabapple seeds have cyanide in them so probably not best to eat a bunch of them whole
Can you teach us how to choose them so we don’t get food poisoning?
Watch lots of videos, research, go outside to forage, read books.
❤
Fyi. There are 80 000 edible foods on the planet yet we eat less than 50 plants of those..
This guy will live a 150 years old😁
Cool video, I would've liked to see or hear Latin names too though because I'm not a native English speaker so the English name is not that interesting to me and the Latin names are universal. Thanks 🙏

Only pick waist high or higher, in populated areas. Lots of dogs peeing . Also people.
Hello, can you guide me for the best place to sell seeds please
Rob wash the greens bro. Anything growing next to a manure pile has a very high chance of contamination
👍👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
This would have been incredible had you of shown only a handful and explained them with some depth
one question, what does walking around NY barefoot have anything to do with foraging off the land lol.
It's just a personal preference. Here's a video where I share why I'm barefoot
ruclips.net/video/6WDUvbM71tY/видео.html&ab_channel=RobGreenfield
Have you ever found an abundant source of eucalyptus
We have loads of it here in California, but it's not edible is it?
Yes, I find eucalyptus planted around the country.
How do you distinguish the edible variety from its similar-looking poisonous counterpart? I once picked bunch of horse chestnuts and realised they are not actually chest nuts before eating them. Could you share some tips?
Hello Jenny,
You simply must take the time to properly identify plants. You can learn more about foraging in my resource guide here: robgreenfield.org/foraging
Learn and forage one plant at a time. If you learn one plant per month for five years you will be able to forage 60 different foods and medicines!
Health and happiness to you!
@@Robin.Greenfield Thanks for your tips and encouragement Rob!
Waiting for a parody where someone walks through burn hazle collecting leaves and crying in pain. Someone climbing a overly thorny hawthorne collecting berries while being covered in their own blood. Someone walking through an alligator infested pond to harvest cat tails.
Just curious- how did you use the ginkgo fruit and seeds? And thank you for this video.
I ate the fruit directly from the tree. Just a few per day.
I roasted the seeds and ate about ten per day.
Love,
Rob
@@Robin.Greenfield, just to be clear- you ate the orange flesh raw? How did it taste?
Love the video, but i think it would be important to point out, that you should'nt just eat a plant because it LOOKS like one that you showed in the video.
Many plants look alike, always be careful! ❤
how did you get your daily protein intake? you look very muscular too...
I would not describe black nightshade berries as "delicious" more like "super meh" but we kids ate 'em all right.
I really, really love them.
all fun and games until you pick a superfund site to forage from 🤗
Foraging would still be fun there. But best to avoid those sites if there are better options.
"for hundreds of thousands of years"
Edible yes,
Contaminated likely.
So is the food in the supermarket tho...
runescape
all this extra work, yet i can just spend $20 at a walmart and be better off then Rob
Where's the coca plant?
More taxonomic/latin names please!
Hello Dear Friend! I just added all 40 Latin names to the video description, as well as time marks for you. :) Thanks for the request.
