Wild Food Foraging- Cattail- Veggie Pasta

  • Опубликовано: 25 авг 2017
  • In this episode, I identify the cattail plant, harvest the cattail shoots, and cook them. Their consistency is like that of an udon noodle. Could this be the next kind of vegetable pasta?
    *Post-release update: In some states of the US, and in several other nations around the world, it is illegal to harvest cattail. Make sure to refer to your local laws first before picking cattails for yourself.

    My favorite part is the flower(Cigar Part) because I give them to my kids and watch them try to beat each other with them. It keeps them occupied. Soak them in kerosene and light them on fire and they're even more fun; the cattails, not the kids.

    Since you asked... I love the whole plant. The roots, shoots, and pollen for food, the outer leaves for basketry, the inner peelings with the slime for wound care, the fluff for tinder and insulating clothing, and the fluff mixed into pine sap as a binder if you need a temporary filling for a tooth. I've personally used it in all those ways, and can attest to it's efficacy.

    I absolutely LOVE the idea of foraging and using the goods to cook my own meals, but I'm very young, so I obviously don't have the means to go out and do it myself, nor the permissions. I do enjoy living vicariously through these videos, and they help me be more prepared for when I AM older, so I can more safely follow my passions.

    I've made a point of acquiring knowledge about wild edibles and a habit of snacking on them over the course of my life. The only part of the cattail I have ever tried is the pollen (which can be gathered by hand from above the seed cluster from mid spring to midsummer). The pollen is at the very top of my favorite wild edibles list. In season, it is truly stellar! Even a little past season, it is still good. It has a sort of nutty flavor with exotic hints and highlights; truly unique. Also, in all the information I have acquired on this plant (almost every part is edible if prepared correctly), I have never had anyone or any source mention the usefulness of the slime or point out the need for caution regarding where it is harvested. Thank you so much for this new knowledge!

      Kim Willetts most of the cattail is edible. The tuber is good in the spring or fall, the small sprouts can be pickled like capers, the shoots are ideal in the spring around 6” tall and are treated like asparagus, the green flower head can be sautéed in butter, and finally the pollen(my favorite) can be collected, sifted and mixed in equal parts with flower to make some of the most awesome pancakes and muffins! It’s also extremely useful for raw materials.

      Every part of the cat tail is edible. In the spring, the young shoots are amazing greens, when they fruit, the 'cob' part can be fried and eaten while young. Or you can wait till it grows colder and beat it into flour. The deep tuber can be peeled and boiled in deepest winter and is almost starchyish. The way he is showing is just using a tiny part of a year round almost wholly edible plant. The only part ever inedible are the old leaves... which are great for baskets, and even yield fairly long plant fibers when properly prepared if you have a talent for spinning.

    Every part of a cattail is useful. The flower heads can be used to make an emergency blanket, the grass like leaves can be made into mats, shelter roof and walls or even a nice hat to keep the sun off your face. Both root and core are edible, the roots can be boiled and eaten like rutabegas
