- Honey Locust seed pods!
Yes, they are edible and we will show you how to prepare them.
The grind up seed pot shells are sweet and a little bit bitter, some are more sweet and other more bitter. But mixing them with other ingredients the bitterness disappears and it has a nice flavor, a little banana flavor I would say with a sweet touch. In the video I explain that it is sweet, but not as sweet as cane sugar.
Wild food is never to prepare with the food what we buy in the grocery store.
Custard recipe:
4 egg yolks
400 ml milk
2 tablespoon starch
2 teaspoon vanilla
50 grams honey locust powder
(Or 25 grams sugar )

Oh my goodness, I love the combination of learning amazing things about plants while listening to this beautiful song and the adorable voices of the children. I'm so glad I decided to go looking for locust bean videos today. Thanks for warming my heart. ❤️🌻🌿
Thank you for you beautiful words 🥰
Thanks for sharing this today I was looking out the window wondering what can be done with the ones in my front yard .
I use the Honey Locust pods with my hops when making Beer.
Oh wow how cool is that?!? How do you use it?
Recently I moved to Longmont, CO, and there is a huge locust tree in the front yard. The seed pods have fallen all over the driveway, making a bumpy, sticky mess. Thank you so much for posting this very helpful video. I'll try these recipes! As an aside, might you know how to remove the debris that is stuck to my driveway?🍁
Oh yes, nature can leave a big mess on our driveways in fall. I know that you can remove stick residue like sap from our hands amazing with peanut butter. So a concrete degreaser should work I think. But I’m not 100% sure. We only pressure wash our driveway and that takes most of the fall stickiness away.
Thank you 🙏 very interesting ❤
You are very welcome ❤️
Thank you for your support ❤️
Very informative dear, thank you! Love
You are so welcome, thank you 😊
Some honey locust history that might interest you, courtesy of Bing AI:
The carob tree, also known as “il pane di San Giovanni” (St. John’s bread) in Sicily, has a fascinating connection to the Biblical wilderness food consumed by certain prophets.
According to the Bible, St. John the Baptist survived in the desert by eating locusts and wild honey. The reference states: “And John was clothed with camel’s hair and with a girdle of skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey” (Mark 1:6). Similarly, in the Gospel of Matthew (3:4), it is mentioned that his sustenance was “locusts and wild honey.”
Interestingly, the “wild honey” referred to in these passages is believed to be carob. The carob tree’s fruit, which grows abundantly in Sicily, has been a source of nourishment for humans since ancient times. The Sicilian name “il pane di San Giovanni” directly translates to “St. John’s bread,” emphasizing this connection. Legend has it that St. John consumed the seeds of the carob tree during his time in the desert.
The carob tree is also sometimes called the “locust tree” because locusts are attracted to it. Therefore, the Biblical reference to locusts could very well be alluding to carob pods. Additionally, in the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 16:15), there is mention of husks that the prodigal son desired to eat, which could also be a reference to carob.
In modern-day Sicily, carob is ground into a thick-textured flour used in various culinary applications. It features prominently in the production of biscuits, certain types of Modican chocolate, and local cough sweets. The flour is even used to make traditional pasta shapes called “lolli.” So, the humble carob continues to play a significant role in both historical and contemporary Sicilian cuisine! 🌿🍯🍞
Wow that’s is absolutely amazing ❤️❤️thank you so much for those informations, that is very interesting
Your information is about a different plant species! Carob does NOT = Honey locust..
What can be used as an alternative to the egg yolks? Love
I heard you could use flex. egg. It’s the combination of 1 tablespoon flaxseed and 3 tablespoon of water. But I never tried it out, so I’m not 100% sure how it will turn out.
@@foragingandcookingwithkids Thank you again dear! I know these, though they don't have the yolk's flavor and same smooth fat component, but they will do the kind of 'pudding' part. Will give it a try. Love
Oh yeah that with the flavor will be a little tricky. I wish I could help. If I find something I will let you know.
@@foragingandcookingwithkids Thank you sweetheart! Love
Bananas can be used as an egg substitute and are especially good for sweet recipes. I have not used them with locust bean, but it sounds like it would be good.
You can also eat black locust.
I heard that too. So the flowers are edible and the outer skin of the bean should be edible, the bark, seeds, and leaves of black locust trees contain poisonous compounds called toxalbumins. If you are foraging for honey locust and don’t pay attention and find black locust, that could appear to a big problem.
@@foragingandcookingwithkids Look at the thorns. Black locust only have one or two really big ones. Honey locust is a node of Thorns. You see the difference once it like riding a bike.
Black locust also fixes nitrogen and is fantastic for wood working. Most people use them for fence posts.
@Giganfan2k1 very nice. I like that fact.
We learn a lot from each other. Thank you
And you are right, for a trained eyes it’s very easy to see, but not for the non-trained eyes. I’m glad you teach with about that fact ❤️
Can you make an extract out of those
Yes indeed you can, out of the spines and or leaves. There different kind of recipes out there. You are also able to purchase some online.
Can you eat then raw?
Actually yes! In the summer time the green seeds are edible raw or cooked. I hope I will be able to make a video this summer to demonstrate it for you.
@foragingandcookingwithkids thank you, I really appreciate it.
They have the seed pots growing in the summer time and dried up in the fall.
