By comparison, over 90% of corn is GMO! Corn is actually unhealthy because studies have proven that it takes out the body's nutrients while potentially causing stomach irritation from not being digestible. Although there are various versions of corn: cornflower, cornmeal, corn cob, etc., the whole corn cob consumed by folks passes right through the digestive tract, bypassing digestion and any nutrient absorption. Likewise, the hazelnut, or any nut, for that matter, is highly nutritious with a plethora of health benefits that grow naturally. Other than the person possessing a nut allergy; nuts are substantially healthier than corn!
Wow you have a brain like mine. I gave my boyfriend seeds for rare plants to plant and took a nap and when I woke up he was showing me videos on this channel. Good job. If you ever come to California I'll give you a tour of the rare varieties of trees in my yard and in the woods by my house
I would love to see a series where you go through different regions of the US and do videos on foraging in that region, maybe like top 20 most common edibles or something along those lines (Southeast, Southwest, Northeast, Northwest, and maybe even central) I feel like there are many resources on this topic but the way you present information is so captivating and educational.
here is a video from 1930s of an Indigenous woman processing acorns to make acorn flour and bread. to think they have been doing this for millenia so it would be wise to listen because they would know. ruclips.net/video/x4-F5N63Cdo/видео.html
The mind on some people. Blame it on people not using the King's English. I do not speak English personally. I speak American which is a melting pot language wherein the dictionary (there goes another one) has many numbered definitions of the same word.
There is another related funny. In lifesaving if you try to save someone and they overpower you, I was told to use the squirrels grip to get out of it and save yourself.
Almost same for me but it's my apricot tree it died Last year so we went nut hunting and we found one so we took care of it, even in the Texan snow it survived. My dad trimed our other apricot (or peach) trees that produced quite literally shit and for some reason my mom had a peach tree in a container That I didn't know. So we planted it and this year its growing back and it has a pink flower😊
This is awesome 👍 thank you so much!!!! In our little .23 acre in Greenville SC, we have 1 Pecan tree and 2 oak trees.. different from the 2 you showed leaves
Hazelnuts are all over where I live!! Also lots of squirrels!! A black walnut tree in neighborhood somewhere and I dug up three babiy trees and gave to daughter. This year I am planting my own!! 9ne day a child will get to eat them. No pecans here, too cold. And I have two oak trees in my yard!! The deer come into yard as well as beers and devour them!!
Thank you Eric. Would like to know more about using acorns. They are so abundant. Not sure. think the original peoples would put the meat nuts in streams to remove a lot of the tannin esp. white oak nuts. My lament is the new toilets. a mesh bag of coarsely crushed nuts in the tank would eventually remove a lot of the tannin.
Thank you, I would love to learn more about how to prep acorns and store them. I store walnuts now. They are my favorite and most abundant in my area. Indiana.
VERY important tip - nuts need to be soaked in the water before eating them (for at least 2hours but best for overnight) because if not they destroy your digestive enzymes I know that best time for pecans is around 4h, walnuts for 24hours, chestnuts I think overnight
are you sure of this ? I foraged and eated 3 of these for years without any problem (and most of the people I know do so for the same nuts without problem either) so what you are saying seem strange to me
The mighty Oak Tree. Right now there are no leaves on any of the trees in my surroundings except the Oak Trees, the orange leaves from these trees which don't fall off like all the other trees in the Autumn, they actually manage to keep their leaves on through the entire Winter and then push their leaves off in the Spring when they want to make their new leaves ... aaaaaaaand now I know where to find lots of food every Spring :) :) :)
@@EricJosephLewis Yeah, all we have in Ontario here from your top 5 nuts video are the red oaks and hazelnut. Thanks for doing this!!! Also, have you prepared acorns yet? Made them into flour or dried and washed them for consumption?
Pecans are a kind of hickory... Shagbark and shellbark are pretty great too. Pignut and mockernut are just so much work to get to the meat that i only end up using them for milk, and bitternut is really only good for pressing the oil out of them, which is incredible and I'll be doing a bunch of this fall :)

Lived around a few of these trees most of my life and never knew I could eat forage the nuts! Thank you!
Gotta love this dudes vibe. He really loves the trees.

Also important to note that tannins can be toxic in high doses so consuming large amounts of acorns can lead to serious health issues.
You are supposed to process them with either running water or batches in boiled water before consumption.
@@rnash999 Yeah, I heard humans can't consume them unprocessed, only wild pigs.

Nice! I love the camera work too!
Blessings!! love collaborating with you all
I grew up with wild pecan trees. We'd have garbage bags full of nuts every year. Never occurred to me how much of a privilege it was until I moved
Yeah I know, totally nuts 😄
Almost same for me but it's my apricot tree it died
Last year so we went nut hunting and we found one so we took care of it, even in the Texan snow it survived. My dad trimed our other apricot (or peach) trees that produced quite literally shit and for some reason my mom had a peach tree in a container

hehe one man's trash is another man's treasure smh
Plant
Can’t wait to go foraging! Thank you
Thank yooou, please keep sharing :)
love your energy
Thanks for posting
Great video! Lots to learn about nuts!
Love your videos!
thank you Eric, the first time that I watch your video, this illuminate my understanding.
What about Hickory nuts? Tough to shuck, but hardy in the North!!
True! And shagbark can be pretty fat and easy to crack out!
I was thinking hickory was going to make the list too
This is awesome 👍 thank you so much!!!!
In our little .23 acre in Greenville SC, we have 1 Pecan tree and 2 oak trees.. different from the 2 you showed leaves
I'm not far from ya in Augusta Ga!

Good video... Giving the nuts their dues.

awesome topic. thank you!
Be sure to follow my channel if you like this kind of content. I'll be putting up lots of foraging videos and permaculture garden tours this year ;)

Never knew you can grow pecans in Florida. I want one. Clearwater Fl
Amazing bro

@@333kirua I agree with you. There are a lot of misinformation out there.
❣💕🐿❣💕
Pecan is #1 for me.
It's definitely my number one in the south!
I know of an American chestnut that is fully mature. Is there any way to connect with other people who might have one, too?
💚
Nice short video. You put it in a nutshell.
What about the Hickory Nut, this is one of my favorite nut. Know as the Indiana Pecan.
Lovely lifestyle and videos. To get into a higher consciousness and more free life, it is a great way to become a breatharian :)
Good vibes Eric Thanks I dont know FL has tree nuts.
There's lots of live oak acorns, and quite a few pecans in north florida... What part of the state are you in?

That's red oak in particular! Now you just need to scout around and see which ones have the big acorns ;)
