I made stinging nettle tea for my husband hoping it would help his allergies, it didn't but! He said it made his calves quit cramping (he's a mill worker and always on his feet). His shoulder was sore and so I put some stinging nettle extract in his lotion and it relieved that too! Good stuff 👍 thanks Josh
This video made me super hungry. Hahaha. I didn't know nettles were a good source of protein. Very nice information. Can't wait to eat some wild edibles this year. I moved into my rv one week ago and I've been fixing it and getting it prepared to bring it and park it in my forest to live there.
You are amazing. Your voice is clear and you show plants close up. Excellent work! Thank you for sharing. I am a fan of wild edibles. I really wish more people would forge.
Absolutely, I usually eat my nettles with morels and save the cooking liquid for chicken and noodles or something like that. I need to make nettle soup when nettles get back in season. Thanks for commenting Old Man of the Woods!
Trillium Wild Edibles is the best informative you tube out there. I have been observing Joshs videos since he started and are now using as teaching aids. thanks, Josh, for your knowledge shared.
My favourite is Hawthorn. It's extremely common where I live. The new leaves in Spring taste amazing, and it also can have fresh growth throughout the year, but even the older leaves are very tasty. They taste kind of like flour. I don't like the blossom so much, but the berries are good, like a creamy apple flavour, and contain preservative for making fruit leather that can last for years.
Are these berries small like crabapples? And have a creamy sweet taste? Do you live in the US .? Can I find the Hawthorne in the pacific north west? It sounds like a bush that grew in the Middle East when I was a little girl.
*Drooling over that wrap ...The violets made the presentation of it so nice. Going to try and use it to "pretty up" some of my dishes, since my kids since they eat with their eye balls. :P ...Seriously though if it's not pleasing to the eye they wont touch it! haha..Thank you for sharing ! :)
Oh yeah, a lot of lfowers are great for prettying up dishes, from violet flowers, to mustard flowers and even red clovers. I usually use them on a dish as a garnish to make it pretty for others to eat. I often get people that don't want to mess it up after seeing them because they thin it's so pretty. Good luck on getting your kids to eat better, than can be tough from what I understand.
Most would never imagine harvesting nettles, especially those who have accidentally brushed up against them at the wrong time of the year. Wow!, What an itching sting! We actually called it itchy weed, Haha I must say how impressed I am with your knowledge, Thank you!
We enjoy the Garlic Mustard in early spring, then it tastes good. Once the heat gets going, they get too bitter for us. Also chickweed is one of our favorites, best weed pie is chickweed. We are also love lambs quarters and dandelion.
Thank you Josh for the information. It's so hard to find a safe space were there are no pesticides that have been used. I would love to start looking for wild edibles. It would be a great hobby to get into.
🦋😊🦋. I have never even heard of spice bush. Dhave you done a Video on that Bush in particular??? And i will def be looking into that alot more now. Thanks for sharing as always ✌️😊👍
Pittsburgh PA: Still harvesting stinging nettles in November. I mowed them back a bit in Sept, and they've been growing in like new. March-Nov. And you can eat them raw, too, if you throw them in a blender with orange juice and a banana. Keep it raw! LOL
Trillium: Wild Edibles well you do a good job. Looks like I missed several of your videos but have turned on notifications. I'm newish to Kentucky and am not familiar with the wild edibles. I'm excited to learn and will include your channel in my resources. I've uploaded a couple of my foraging experiences on my channel and Instagram. Hopefully I will have many more. 😉
Thank you! Yeah a lot of You Tubers, much larger than me, have talked about this issue. Guys like Phillip De Franco, h3H3, etc. RUclips is and has been having a problem with the sub box recently. I will certainly check out your channel as our regions are not any different as far as plants are concerned really.
Well that was very interesting, particularly giving ideas on what to do with them other than salads. Thank you very much for inspiring me to try some of these.
I love garlic mustard a lot - but I love the taste of both garlic and mustard - the ones that I've been picking taste way more like garlic, and I am 100% okay with that! I agree, it would be good as a dip or condiment or even added to, maybe a pasta! I will try to start cooking with these and let you know! Wild Violet - it's sweet - it's good, I guess, I might try it in a tea first. I'd imagine it would be good in a crepe or any savory sweet/dish - I'm sure it would make a great addition to a salad with apples or cranberries too. I've only started foraging last November in south jersey, so I missed more-or-less the entire season, but I definitely recognize many plants over studying the last several months - I am going to be on the hunt for wood/stinging-nettles and I am aware that there is 2 look-a-like-nettles - one slightly poisonous. I started with mushrooms, and only found sheep's head - I would never have guessed that that mushroom, that grew abundant on my property since I was a kid tasted so good - like a cross between scallops and shrimp or clam! Thank you for these videos!
Have you tried milkweed soup? Pick buds before blossoming, par boil and rinse good, then make as you would any creamed soup. Not much nutrition, but my family has been eating it for generations.
I loved this video. Thank you for sharing so an abundance of information. Your pizza looks amazing and the crust looks so healthy. Do you have a recipe to share?
You're very welcome JoJo! My recipe has changed a bit since this video. I don't measure out ingredients but I can say this. For a pizza crust I will use flour, salt, a teaspoon of sugar, a drizzle of sunflower oil, and water. Mix that until well blended. Let sit for about 30 minutes to get a well formed gluten network, then knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Then spread onto a well oiled pizza pan and bake until solid enough to hold a pizza sauce. After that add ingredients as normal and finish baking until desired consistency. Flour I use will vary. Sometimes I'll use more than five different flours, and other times I'll use just one. Being sure to use the flours accordingly. Recently I've been using just spelt flour. In the past I've used a mix of spelt, teff, quinoa, amaranth, almond, and garbanzo flour. That's great and really healthy, just difficult to get consistent and even harder to describe. Hope this helps some and thanks for asking!
Can you do a video on Spicebush? I think I may have that in my area, but we also have some other plants with small red berries that are definitely not safe to eat. Dogberry bush I think is what it's called. Turbo poison from what I understand
It may be known as that by some but I've never heard it personally before so I can't say. It grows about 4 - 6 ft. in height so it's easy to harvest from because it's all at eye/arm level. Hope this helps and thanks for asking!
From the pictures, I'm thinking that what you called lamb's quarter is what we used to call pigweed - sparkly stuff on the new young leaves, and we always cooked it for a spinach substitute (my mother was not a fan of raw greens - and definitely not one of the best cooks you'll ever meet!). Pigweed grows, well, like a weed, in disturbed areas; all over the Northeast from Michigan through Pennsylvania to New Jersey (I've lived in all three states). And now I'll have to go looking for the others you mentioned! Thanks.
It absolutely is! Pigweed is another common name for this plant, as is Fat Hen, and Goosefoot. I like to use it for pizza, just lightly sauteed in oil with dandelion greens and mushrooms. Thanks for commenting Brenda!
Ohh yeah that is always good to do with any plant you like the flavors of. It sounds good! I'm partial to wood sorrel jelly on buttered toast myself, maybe that's 'cause I always eat the raspberries before I can do anything with them!
D nettles look like mint leaves n a couple of those plants mentioned here look alike to me. I need to learn more to properly distinguish d difference. Thanku for sharing
I can certainly understand that, I did a video on understanding the botanical terms behind plant identification. It's called How to Identify Wild Plants - A Video Glossary To Botanical Terms the link is here: ruclips.net/video/5Aj82u2he6s/видео.html This video will set you up to understand which plants you might be confusing based upon accepted botanical terms for identification and personal interpretation. Thank you for your feedback it is always appreciated!
The stinging hairs can be avoided for the most part by going the right direction. Most of the hairs are oriented in an upward angle. By pinching and sliding ever so slightly upwards with your fingers you'll actually push the hairs flat against the stem, avoiding the stinging end. Keep in mind though that doing this you might get stung a couple times but not near as much as just pinching randomly. Usually I'll get about 3 or so stings after picking a grocery bag full. I discuss this method in one of my videos on nettle, I'll try to find it and edit this comment with the link to the video so you can see what I'm talking about. The video that shows the process: ruclips.net/video/2n_3OhmHuQ0/видео.html The plant in this video has hairs that were oriented in an awkward angle but I still managed to avoid the sting. Hope this helps!
Probably next to areas that have been disturbed. Think places like parks, yards, gardens, lawns. Areas with a lot of human interference. However Garlic Mustard is not prevalent in all areas of a state. There are places where I live that I don't see any, and other places where I see too much of it. If you look you will find it eventually though. Hope this helps and thanks for asking!
I stay away from chick weed because it has a poisonous look alike. Garlic mustard is good even though it has cyanide. I also like to eat violet flowers and leaves both are very good. I also like goose foot aka Chenipodium Album. Haven't tried nettles , or Spice Bush. I also like Spiney Sow Thistle boiled for a min. then pan fried with diced onions, and bacon bits.
Spicebush is a shrub, like a bush...as it's name implies. An herb is asmaller plant like mints, Echinaceas, Basils, etc. Thanks for asking Louis Xavier!
i have a weed that over my place she grows like vines she has white flowers she has spicks all over plus they have no smell plus they stick to all plus they kill all plants below plus the stem is for side not round what i got here is just nothing i ever had
Anything green leafed is packed with protein. It's really common for greens to be packed with protein. Protein certainly doesn't just come from meat there are other plant sources full of protein. In fact the protein we get from meat is recycled. That's why it causes health issues like heart diseases and cancers. Real protein comes from plants. And against common misconceptions, that's why people who eat plant based do not have issues with protein.
Didn't forget them, they just aren't my favorite. Out of the nettles I've tried, wood nettle is by far my favorite. Not to say the others are nasty, they certainly aren't, I personally find wood nettle to be the best. Thanks for commenting, it's always appreciated!
Wild plants are in all ways nutritionally superior to anything you can purchase. That nutritional content is what more inhibited palates find objectionable...to their own loss, unfortunately.
Please stop using the word invasive - anything that grows for free in my yard that I can eat is call food - and free food is a blessing. Some dummy called it a weed - I call it a vegetable.
"Amazing that tastes amazing" please get off that word in the final analysis what does this word mean? Good or great, right? Last night was amazing. It's not only you everybody overuses it. It's kind of a go to word when people start to describe a flavor or other phenomenon. Wow that was ahhhh.uhhhhh amazing. What about ramps they're ...... Amaaaaaazzzing!!
A great video but over use of the adjective 'amazing' when there are many other adjectives and sentence constructs to be used. I have given the video a thumbs up though.
NONE of these edibles people EVER provides good ID shots and explanations how to know these "wonder weeds." Why is that? This is useless to me. USELESS!
The video is not useless, it just may not be what you're looking for. I'd advise you to check my playlist titled Wild Plant Identification. You can find it on my channel. That seems like what you're after. I can assure you I have some of the most informative identification videos on RUclips. They are in depth with clear and concise information about each part of the plant. I have filmed over 50 of them, so feel free to check it out.
I hate it when the only way you can describe something is "I love it". I could care less if you do and it irritates me to no end when you tell us you " love" it. Find some new words pal, you've worn those out.!!!!!!!!
I made stinging nettle tea for my husband hoping it would help his allergies, it didn't but! He said it made his calves quit cramping (he's a mill worker and always on his feet). His shoulder was sore and so I put some stinging nettle extract in his lotion and it relieved that too! Good stuff 👍 thanks Josh

Thank you for the kind words Lleb! I too wish more people would forage, part of why I do this. Thanks for commenting!
Nettle soup is one of my favorite dish in the summer.

I LOVE the flowers of the dandelion plant!
And to think I used to dig the "weed" up and throw it away!
Me too!!! I used to dig them up and, after I put them in a paper bag to dry the plant, would burn them, to get rid of the plant!!! I've done a 180!!!
It's beautiful. You show the plant and tell the food too.😊👍
Again my friend you excelled at both the shape and the substance of the video.
My favourite is Hawthorn. It's extremely common where I live. The new leaves in Spring taste amazing, and it also can have fresh growth throughout the year, but even the older leaves are very tasty. They taste kind of like flour. I don't like the blossom so much, but the berries are good, like a creamy apple flavour, and contain preservative for making fruit leather that can last for years.

Are these berries small like crabapples? And have a creamy sweet taste? Do you live in the US .? Can I find the Hawthorne in the pacific north west? It sounds like a bush that grew in the Middle East when I was a little girl.
So good I watched it this year too. Thanks for ur great videos.
Thank you Dawn, I'm glad you enjoy this video so much! It's nice to have you here again.
Garlic mustard sauteed with potatoes excellent!!
Mmmmm... i made some syrup the other day from rasperries i picked and froze last year. it was so good. on homemade toast with butter. yum!
*Drooling over that wrap ...The violets made the presentation of it so nice. Going to try and use it to "pretty up" some of my dishes, since my kids since they eat with their eye balls. :P ...Seriously though if it's not pleasing to the eye they wont touch it! haha..Thank you for sharing ! :)

I must say how impressed I am with your knowledge, Thank you!
My favorite edible plant is ramps. I have been putting them in just about everything ive cooked this spring.

Love spring. So much growing. Thanks for a review again. Can we look forward to new videos?
Thanks enjoyed your video and your yummy wrap.
You're very welcome!
Chickweed is so delicious *.* i think it tastes like young corn! My favourite wild edible for salads besides Lambsquarters

You're welcome and I'm glad it was helpful and inspiring to you! Thank you for commenting!
That's a great video 👍
Do you leave the seed in the spicebush berry when you dry it and crush it?
will look out for the spice bush i havent used it before. Thank you
It's great and so easy to harvest and prepare! It only grows in the Eastern United States though so keep that in mind if you don't find it.
I love garlic mustard a lot - but I love the taste of both garlic and mustard - the ones that I've been picking taste way more like garlic, and I am 100% okay with that!

Thank you for this
It issss amaaazing 🤣
I have the worst time finding spice bush , one on my list , not many videos on this bush
great stuff homie
Thanks man, much appreciated!
I stay away from chick weed because it has a poisonous look alike. Garlic mustard is good even though it has cyanide. I also like to eat violet flowers and leaves both are very good. I also like goose foot aka Chenipodium Album. Haven't tried nettles , or Spice Bush.

Can you suggest a good field guide book? Thanks

The total miner forge in the beginning made me feel 10 again...
Wild spinach is bhatua saag in Hindi...it's cultivated too
Galinsoga against stinging of nettle.
The European name for lambs quarters is fat hen. Hens love them too.
Thank you💕🎶
You're very welcome, thanks for commenting!
The first plant you showed for garlic mustard didnt look like garlick mustard at all
Dry and fresh nettles is good for diabtic
Lmao this was on my recommended and my friend thought you meant the drug edibles 😂
Lol, sorry to disappoint you!
is spice bush an herb (mint)?
Spicebush is a shrub, like a bush...as it's name implies. An herb is asmaller plant like mints, Echinaceas, Basils, etc. Thanks for asking Louis Xavier!
funny thing: I came to your video to find RoundUp as the ad before. It was to get rid of lawn weeds
Wow really? I don't know if that's funny or scarily ironic? Thanks for commenting this daviddianna!
Hey great video..but that pizza..tell me more!
I dint know it was chickweed but it was growing next to the house by itself. I mowed it down.
❤❤❤❤
You can look up the wild edibles that grow in your state online-this is a good start.
When ever I watch wild edibles video and they talk about nettles, my first thought is stinging nettles(I live in Australia).
Stinging nettles are edible. At least the ones here in the US. Yes I’m replying to a post that’s almost a year old :)
Chickweed / violet flowers / Garlic mustard /
Excellent choices to have! Thanks for sharing Conrad!
Where is this magical place where all these wild edibles grow?? All we have is spurge and sticker burrs!! 😏
Beloved i just blend them with ginger or tumeric and drink them.
i have a weed that over my place she grows like vines she has white flowers she has spicks all over plus they have no smell plus they stick to all plus they kill all plants below plus the stem is for side not round what i got here is just nothing i ever had
Oh to think of all those lamb quarters that I had to pull out of the garden when I was little. Now I find out they are nutritious. 🙄.
All this plants are common here n we don't eat them.......but now mmmmmh
Yep, part of the reason why I do these videos is to get the information out there. Thanks for commenting Shelly!
Title:top 5
Narrator: So coming in SIXTH is chickweed!
I like to give a bonus every now and then!
How to wash?
lather, rinse, repeat
I think you have wrong chickweed.
Only 2 grow wild here: chickweed and violets.
The thing I worry about with this kind of video is, how does one know if they weeds in your garden ARE edible and not poisonous?
Please put latin names in ! Helps with identification!
Anything green leafed is packed with protein. It's really common for greens to be packed with protein. Protein certainly doesn't just come from meat there are other plant sources full of protein.

Actually three nettles you forgot dead nettle hehe

Wild plants are in all ways nutritionally superior to anything you can purchase. That nutritional content is what more inhibited palates find objectionable...to their own loss, unfortunately.
