Absolutely the best Foraging video for Michigan area I've ever seen. I've been foraging for a few years, and my daughter has just started her own foraging journey, with my two young grandsons. I was so happy to share this with her ❤
this video is absolutely amazing!!! it is so informative, every bit of this information can be used...i have spent a lot of time in the forests of Michigan..but this subject was lacking in my experience. i plan on using this as a base to build knowledge off and expand my experience...i also plan on collecting a bunch of walnuts from my backyard in the morning. thank you so much!!!
Good post. Most fail to realize that if their bodies are highly in need of detoxification, yes they will experience side effects. Creator didn't put us here without the food/ medicinal forage we need . May be my opinion only but found it to be quite true.
Try a black walnut jam. It's harvested before it's ripe, and processed with water to remove bitter taste. Than boiled with sugar and cloves to make incredibly tasty jam.
Great video ive learned a lot about our wild foods... never realized a lot of this stuff we mow right over er whip down in landscaping is actually food
Great compilation of footage Sir! Beautiful Information! Ive had to take into account the oxalate content of wild food over the years. So not everything is optimal for us kidney stone formers and others with gout complications. But hey, I like learning and the wild loves teaching. Thank you!
Ive never heard ANYONE say that Asparagus is NOT one of the mor palatable wild foraged plants! Hunting wild Asparagus is one of my favorite spring past times here in Michigan. Ive been riding around the back roads collecting this delicious and beautiful bounty for 50 years❤
I suspect that this video has attracted many people like me who want to forage but are afraid that we will poison our loved ones and/or ourselves. Somehow the sequencing was done in such a way that confidence was built. I wonder if many foraged food like mushrooms are for the advanced foragers classes.
I gew up around Hemlock. I used to play in it as a kid. We used to pretend smoke with it. Wrestle around in it. Lol. I never knew it was poisonous till I was older.
What if the tree seems sick? Would it still be edible. I ask this as I look at our pine in the backyard. It does not have many needles on half of it. I would be interested to know this information. Thank you for making this information available! This is a very informative video. I plan on using this as a part of my homeschooling! ♥️
Anything that looks unhealthy is definitely not edible. I believe it would be best to seek other trees and let the one you mentioned recuperate. Droughts, bark beetles, and various diseases can turn needles brown. If trees are merely a bit stressed from drought, I believe the healthier, more vibrant parts would still be safe to eat. However, droughts can make trees more susceptible to diseases, and if any part of a tree looks infected then definitely don't gather anything from that tree. Likewise with shrubs, plants, and especially grasses. When foraging, it's always best to stay on the safe side. My website has a lot more information. There's a link below the video.
Very good video, though to add, the American nettle, or wood nettle, is not only edible, but verymuch like spinach and just as nutritious as the other but more mild in taste. be more careful with the stinging part though because it is definitely worse, but the payoff is worth it.
Thank you for the good word. I agree with everything you said about American/wood nettle. The updated video will include that species. I just processed a batch of the leaves and will do a few more batches. All the processing methods, even dehydration, had good results.
Maybe you can help me ? I was out on a vacant lot long a wooded area. I came across a plant that had string beans on them, but the stems was flat and had a vain in the middle and vine like. I don't think string bean plants have flat stems ? So what could it be (I live in South East Michigan) ?
Possibly something in the Lathyrus genus, like the everlasting pea (L. latifolius), but I would need more details. Vines producing string beans could suggest the legume family (Fabaceae), and a few species of Lathyrus with flat/winged stems can grow in vacant lots. Try the michiganflora.net website. On the search page, you can set the physiognomy checkboxes to "vines" and that will list every vine in Michigan. I hope that helps.

By far, the best, most informative Michigan foraging video available!

Can I boil the bark from pine tree inn a water? I think that will be a tasty tee

@@foragerphillips Thanks, what you said helped me, I identified it as wild sweet pea.

The edibility test shouldn't be used for mushrooms. There are some deadly ones you wont know have harmed you more than 1/2 day later.
One thing is for sure this person won't be getting any cancer 😀
Thank you!
