Wild Food Foraging- Grape Leaf Chips
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2016
- In this video I make a tasty snack using grape leaves. They are a good source of nutrients, including vitamins C, E, A, K and B6, plus niacin, iron, fiber, riboflavin, folate, calcium, magnesium, copper and manganese.
Grape leaves are an excellent wild edible, but they should never be confused with the poisonous Moonseed plant. There are 4 distinct features of the Wild Riverbank Grape plant you'll need to look for, in order to safely identify them. Watch this video to learn more...

the other day I saw middle eastern s in my backyard picking this wild vine, they asked if they could continue picking them and I said go ahead idk. two days later the women comes to my house with a big pot of stuffed leaves, "Dolma" I'm glad I let them pick them, free food and it tasted great. I'm going to start making them now lol
TheBeast That may be the most Middle Eastern thing I've ever heard. Lmao all we do is pay people in dolma.
it is not Dolma, it is called Sarma. Dolma comes from verb -dolmak which means "to stuff" made with peppers. Sarma comes from verb -sarmak which means "to roll" made with grape leafs
and it is not a middle eastern thing, it is balkan with turkish origin
Koray Sercan Kuru lmao it's Balkan and middle eastern because it originated in the OTTOMAN EMPIRE which does not exist today. However, it had territories in the Balkan's, Turkey, and the Middle East. Also in the Middle East we call it dolma. Stop trying to correct me it's annoying tbh.
In Lithuania this meal is called "balandėliai" or Doves in English.
yes replace kale chip
Fay das me seaweed is good
@@TheNINDLE Long live seweed snacks!

I used to chew on grape tendrils when I was a kid. They have a very refreshing tangy flavour.
Ronald Raygun I still do.I have a whole vineyard of these kind of grapes, my family had it for hundreds of years in rural romania.I hate those big graped in supermarket, they dont taste like grapes and also they are not good for wine.
Ronald Raygun Hehe, Raygun.
Glad to know that I'm not the only one who does that
nice
And I wondered why my horses kept eating the darn things. I should have tried one lol. Thank you!
This is a great channel that definitely deserves wayyy more subscribers! Instant sub!
+Aiden .C Thanks Aiden! Welcome aboard.
Agreed! New sub here! I've eaten river grapes since I was a child and never even thought to try the leaves...thank you!!
The Outsider that's buckthorn the grapes are growing on.
Potato Potatoes are my favorite fruit.
When my mom made dill pickles at home she would always put a grape leaf in them and it does make them taste a lot better .
Crunchy!
Am I seriously the first person to reply to this? Your a criminally underrated RUclipsr
@@PieFaceGuy9000 yo your criminally underrated fan
I love leaning all kinds of things and follow many pages. I just discovered this page and an totally hooked. I love nature.
I so wanted to try this after watching this video. But I tasted my wild grape leaves just now and they are so bitter that I can't imagine that frying them would improve the taste to where I would be able to eat them. The wild grapes that grow here in my urban home in Nashville, TN as very small dark purple grapes that are pretty sour. I do eat them and If I was able to I would gather them and make some jelly or wine from them. And yes, I have identified them as grapes! Few grow down from the tall tree canopy making them just a fun snack when I can find some low enough. Great wild edible for our birds and other critters that can find a home in the small strip of forest between the subdivision areas built in the 1960's. Would so love to be able to get out there and walk down to the redbud...I so want to try some redbud flowers. Even have a black walnut tree close enough that a very few fall on our drive. But as a disabled person in poor health it is rare that I can go outside anymore. I don't like the taste of olive oil, but have some. Perhaps I should have picked a few of the leaves just to try anyway. Maybe in a few days after I recover from today's outing. enjoyed my salad of violets and leaves, wild lettuce, spice plant new and tender shoots, a bit of bitters: plantain and dandelion. I even found a baby cedar tree that I could reach, so looking forward to steeping it in my tea asap. Love your foraging videos!
We have two wild grape vines right next to our house! Can't wait to try this!

I watched your video after I found wild grapes on a trail I walked a few days ago. I took notes on your video and went back to make sure it wasn't moonseed. I picked 5 medium-sized leaves, washed and dried them yesterday Tonight I fried them in olive oil and sprinkled on sea salt. They were crispy just like in your video which I liked but the flavor was a mix of, "Mmmm" and then, "Oh gosh, yuck!" I ate one more and it tasted a bit better so I think the flavor varies from leaf to leaf. The flavor reminds me of the rice wrapped in grape leaves I had at a Greek wedding years ago. I also picked a handful of wild blackberries that were close to the grapes. Anyway, thank you for your video!
that sort of lower-case quality you have at the end of your words reminds me of zefranks voice, which i miss. and these videos are informative and very calming, like a short break from the normal bombardment of things, without being boring
Entraya Crosshill I miss Zefrank.
That is how The Outsider do.
Best channel I've EVER seen. So much valuable information, thank you for what you do. I grew up in Sudbury, and did not know how RICH we were. My nana intimately knew the bush, grandpa was a bush pilot fighting forest fires. Ah, blueberries so thick you shook the bush and filled your bucket. What I miss the most is rhubard! Squeals on finding raspberries, tiny strawberries. Chokecherry jam. I live in Rexdale, northwest Toronto. Much greenspace up here. I've seen people picking fiddleheads, smiled. The Humber River Trail is picturesque, but forbidden for foraging. I look at the lifeless water and know I would not eat from it. Thank you again for sharing your depth of knowledge.
I wonder if these would be any good just dehydrated and kept as a trail snack
living the outdoor dream I tried it and they are indeed
I love mediterannean stuffed grape leaves. They're addictive!
Newish to your channel. Caught a video a while back but for some reason I haven’t gotten notifications in FOREVER and I see you’re still active. Dang RUclips! 😡 Trying to catch up and review your older videos now that I’ve been reminded. You are very knowledgeable and as a somewhat newbie to “survivalism,” (course I’ve always been a “survivor”) I am very much appreciative of your help. I’ve been taking out and teaching my grandchildren as much as possible about the outdoors. Videos like yours help me research so I have more to share with them. I also get a lot of help from Bob Hansler. He’s talked with me a bit and I really appreciated that. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you. Blessings to you and yours ~Lisa
So happy I found your channel. Please keep making videos. Love learning these things. Cheers!
wonderful idea. I`ll definitely try this out next summer. i grow grapes in my greenhouse and until now used those leafes just for compost. thanks !!!
I put up five 2 quart jars of grape leaves for the winter......now I'm heading back into my garden to pick the rest to make chips!!!
Thanks for the info.
Awesome! We have an abundance of wild grapes here in Southeast Missouri and I have used them to make dolmadakias many times. I had never heard of making crispy grape leaves, though! This will be my next wild edible endeavor! Thank you!!!
I've been eating grape leaves stuffed fried ect since i was 5, i can vouch for this it's amazing! You can also buy grape leaves from your local supermarket not the same flavour as fresh but its close enough
Had one next to my shop. These nice Greek looking ladies would come by and pick them to cook in their restaurant,. Some kind of rolls that were delicious.
Loved the video. Does it have to be wild grapes? I live in British Columbia Canada in the Okanogan valley where there are hundreds of vineyards and lots of different species.
maritimer Man Any grape leaves are edible. In the Mediterranean and Mid East, grape leaves are used to wrap rice.
When young and tender, grape leaves can be used to scoop food just like bread. You may want to blanch them quickly to tenderize them.
Tried it!! Its delicious:) my favorite was the boiled grape leaves. They also make a pretty damn good tea if you drink the water you boil them in.
I know butter and other saturated fats(including coconut oil) have been given a bad rap, but the truth is that they are the only fats/oils suitable for cooking because unsaturated fats oxidize when heated. I only use virgin olive oil on raw salads. Olive oil is at least better than extra virgin olive oil for heating, but need to keep the temp as low as you can. Butter or coconut oil would be better. I'm sure it tastes good tho.
Enjoying your videos, thanks.
Coconut Oil actually has good reputition among people (such as bodybuilders, I use it myself). The only thing that scraps people up is the price, olive oil has a higher price than butter or sunseed oil, and coconut oil has a higher price than olive oil.
great, informative video as ever! I'm always super psyched when I see you have a new video up, I used to live in New-Brunswick and knew wild edibles there quite well but since moving to Ontario I haven't really foraged at all; your videos are definitely encouraging me to hahaha
Great to hear! And welcome to Ontario! lol
Who knew! Absolutely awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Your videos are informative and very interesting.
I have been eating grape leaves and mulberry leaves since I was a child. Just liked the way these tasted.
Use to go over to a friend's when I was a kid and they had a wild grape vine right next to the pool. We'd jump in and out of the pool to get a few and jump back in, they're so good and they have a much different texture than store bought grapes. If I had to choose I'd always go with wild grapes.
I've made stuffed grape leaves from wild grapes from my dad's farm. My only tip is that you pick the younger looking leaves and/or pick them in the spring when they are just unfurling. The younger they are the more tender they are for stuffed grape leaves. The older ones are a bit tougher. Google stuffed grape leaves and you'll find recipes. Its best if you use the authentic recipe using ground lamb, and the specified rice. After I make a batch of them, I pack them in glass jars, fill with a mix of water, olive oil, lemon juice and salt then run them through the canning process. Because there's meat in them you process in a pressure cooker for safety reasons. Though I did put some through a hot bath and the sealed, and I ate them, I'm concerned the risk of food poisoning is just too great. Use a pressure cooker instead. I like to eat mine heated with a squirt of fresh lemon juice on them. Awesome.
Awesome! thanks for the thorough info.
We are Assyrians and that is like one of our main dishes is Wild Grape Leaves oh my goodness that stuff is delicious
They looked delicious. Very interesting and hope I get to do this some time. Thanks for sharing.
Might try adding salt too. Looks simple and yummy. Thanks for another great video!!
Such a good vid, congrats and thanks!!!
Another great video. Good job!
I never thought of this, what an excellent idea!
Great video, thank you!
Thanks for sharing. Love it.
Thanks for the tip. I have a grape vine in the back yard. The deer usually get all the grapes before I do, but I am going to try this.
Not a problem! Thanks for watching Sam.
At least here in Pennsylvania, the tendrils, when still bright red, are edible and very sweet. I love picking them while hiking. Love your channel
Yum! Gonna try this with my grape leaves!
Wow!!! Never heard of this before! We will definitely have to give this a try! Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure! Good to hear from you again.
Super crunchy!
I learn the most interesting things from your channel.
This makes me wish we had a grapevine. I love grape leaves. Will remember this. Thanks for sharing. :-)
Glad to share my knowledge! Thanks Anita.
Great video thanks!!!
Marvelous video! I have lots of other edibles I'd like to cook in this method.
Very interesting! I'm going to try frying some grape leaves just as soon as I determine if the vines on our property are truly wild grapes. Thank you for another great foraging video.
Sounds good! My pleasure. Happy grape leaf hunting!
I don't understand, you make awesome vids but with just a few subscribers. You desererve more man. Cool videos, love them
The tendrils are great to chew on as well! We call it indian gum!
Might make a good salad if paired-up with White Pine Cambian and Rasberries, maybe a bit of diced Squirrel or other small game...
Wow thanks there's Concord grapes in our back yard!!!
Love your videos, man. Very informative, very useful. This is what RUclips is meant for. Along with cat videos of course.
as always, informative.
Awesome recipe!
I grow muscadine grapes very excited but this video thank you for sharing. I also bought your plans for the pop-up cabin plan to make that for the grandkids wish me luck.😂
Love your channel!
Greetings from Germany
My goats fight over grape leaves.
Great video & really helpful.. :)
I have Asperger's Syndrome and have much anxiety when it comes to food texture but I would love to try any of theese!
theyre just like a chip if they are crisped up in oil like the guy does here (: and wild grapes are usually tiny and pop nicely!
(i have autism, so i think i get what you mean about food & sensory experience & fear!)
Thank you 🙏. Super excellent
Great vid, mate! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for commenting!
I love your channel. Very informative, I am learning so much. Can you show an example of the poisonous one? I did not see it on the video. Thanks.
Haha stuffed grape leaves you mean "Sărmăluțe în frunză de vie". We love this dish in Romania.
yo I see these all the time when I hike! also, I have that exact plate that you use at the end there lmao. Shout out from Ontario!
Thank you, Soul brother!
I just remembered my old house had wild grapes! The grapes were delicious, but I should have tried the leaves.
I had few grapes this year, but the leaves were plentiful. Looking forward to next year regardless of what happens.
Cool channel 👍 definitely helpful 👍 keep up the good work
i have to say i really enjoy your videos thumbs up
Thanks!
My best friend has a grapevine that has absolutely swallowed his swing set
Thank you for this
Great video. I’m finding loads of grape leaves in Connecticut. I never knew about eating them raw or cooking them like chips. I cook stinging nettle chips.
Wow...U are always up 2 something....
It will be a little while before I can try this, can't wait !
lol I sure am! ....By the way, I'm very sorry to hear about you losing most of your cabin supplies in the flood waters. I'm not sure how I'd handle such an awful situation. Hope you're doing well despite everything.
Stuffed grape leaves (dolmas) are the best. I would highly recommend them
it's really healthy, thanks
You make that look good
Cool ! Thanks !
Great video. A distinction video for the different types of grape vines would be awesome!
Thanks Dylan. Great idea. However, Riverbank Grape is the only species that I've been able to find in my area so far.
wow I have wild grapes everywhere so this is really cool
Awesome!
Fascinating.
cool.excellent
The wild grapes in my yard ripen mid august and are nice and sweet.
put olive oil in a spray bottle, lightly mist and bake
Looks good
Have not tried it this way but work great as a wrap
Good stuff
i don't have a wild grape but i do have a grape growing in my backyard. so while there are still some good leaves that aren't browning or been eaten down to the veins by bugs, i can probably do this
Grape leaves stuffed wtih ground beef and basil. Mmmmmm ♥️
Wow. Looks yummy! Would like to try this. How long can you keep the fried leaves before they aren't edible anymore?
This is great as my lambsquarter lemon rice dish would fill these leaves and create a wild version of the Lebenese dish.
great video
Thanks Allan!
That looks goood
So close to 100k!!!
Wow i have one of these growing in the outside corner of my house and didnt even know what it was
That CRUNCH!
Sounds yummy! Can you do this with cultivated grape leaves?
Good question! I've never tried doing that, but I've heard that wild grape leaves are much tastier than cultivated ones. Wild grape plants put a lot of their energy into the leaves (which is why they're so tasty), but cultivated grape plants are designed to put all their energy into the grapes.
Definitely going to cooking them with blue gill. Idk why but their meat always seems to absorb and enhance flavors even though by themselves their taste can only be described as "fish". They are also very clean, if the water source is clean, and laughably easy to catch considering their low intelligence and high numbers. The only downside is you probably have to catch and prepare 10 or so per person for filling meals, but even that's not too much of a hassle.
In the middle east we have a food called grape leaf if u translate the word as it is we pickle the grape leaves and we stuff them with meat and herbal stuffing and lemon juice and we boil it and it's one of the most delicious foods ever
My favorite form of wild grape is the skepernon!
My coworker has a grape plant thriving right now bought a few years ago I wonder if she'd like this.
I think I'll try this with grape seed oil!
