I grew up on a small island in Puget Sound. We always had this around and being the rugrat I was, I'd eat the blossoms between two leaves like a sandwich. Don't know why but I remember it being pretty good and I survived. Not sure why but this somehow popped into my head (too much plant life?). Thanks for the video, I'm subbed and looking forward to more! I'll bring snax! 😋
Such a fun, informative, and hilarious video! You're awesome!! I see this plant in so many gardens here in the UK and I've always wondered if the berries are poisonous. Thanks so much!
It's kind of invasive here, at least in my yard in Georgia. Is it still potentially dangerous to consume if you cook it into jelly? I see a lot of recipes to do that with it but also a lot of warnings that eating too many of them can make you sick. Not sure if I should even bother with harvesting my numerous plants if spreading the jelly on toast might give us all the runs.
As far as I know, it's pretty safe especially if it's been cooked into a jelly. I think if somebody ate too much, it could upset his or her stomach. I haven't had any problems personally, and I've usually only eaten small amounts at a time.
In Georgia, you likely have the ornamental Mahonia that is from Asia and is invasive in parts of the east. It's superficially similar to Oregon grape but not the same plant.
Yeah, you're probably right. This is one of my older videos. I tried to make my intros shorter with newer ones. I know people don't have a lot of time to waste watching me go on and on. Thanks!
Is all over my yard , and like most bitter herbs , i treasure it very well as it is extremely beneficial for digestion ❤
Nice to have it around in abundance! Thank you!
Yes, Oregon Grape is found in Oregon
I figured, haha! Thank you!

You're welcome! Thank you, too!
Oregon grape is in Oregon, in fact it’s a State Plant of Oregon.
Thank you for answering that! I figured it was, but I wasn't sure at the time I was making the video!
Amazing!
Thank you!
Thanks for the information I thought I could find it in upstate New York.
You're welcome! I'm not sure if it's there, but it's all over the place near where I am.
LOL!
Nerdy is the new cool
I agree! Although I'm not sure I've ever known what cool is!
Did you fall out of a tree?
Haha! Yeah, kinda.

Should do okanagan bear meet up Would be cool
There are a few around I think!
Can it be used as a detox for gastrointestinal parasites?
For sure , all bitter herbs are great for parasites. Drink the tea or tincture, it is great for digestion.
They are found in Oregon. And by the way, Idaho Montana are not in the Pacific Northwest.
Thank you! I've seen some definitions of the Pacific Northwest that include those states, and I think there are many possible ways to define the area.
I always thought it was WA, OR and ID? Grew up in WA.
I still don't like it in our yard.
Haha! I know.
they look so poisonous!
I thought so, too!
They're not. Trust me, I've eaten enough of them raw (as a kid).
Too much talkie talkie, don't waste our time. Get to your selling point, as we know that's what this is all about.
