  • Hey guys in this video we will go over 9 wild edibles and medicinal plants as well as how to identify them. Plus we will cover one plant that is known for inducing allergies. We will cover plants such as Cleavers, Chickweed (there are three kinds), Mayapple, Plantain, Joe Pye Weed, and Giant Ragweed. This video should be really helpful for any of those wanting to learn more about wild edible and medicinal plants. We will cover the features of each plant like their leaves and their shape. The types of flowers they have as well as features about the stems of each plant. Their growing conditions are discussed as well as any unique feature they might have. Plants like the Mayapple for example produce a fruit but not every plant produces a fruit, you have to be careful and look to find one as the creatures get them before you do.
    Another plant we will cover is Giant Ragweed, which flowers about the same time as Goldenrod. This plant is known for causing allergies when many think it is Goldenrod. This is a useful plant to know while foraging because you can teach those you love to avoid it! The Common Chick weed is typical of lawns and gardens but did you know that there are three of them? That's right, there is Common Chickweed, Mouse Ear Chickweed, and Star Chickweed. They all look sort of similar but with different features that are unique to each. We will discuss all three in detail in this video.

    Just a note- I had a bit of trouble looking up “gallium aparine.” It turns out that gallium with two L’s is the metal; the _element_ gallium. Galium with one L is the plant genus.

      I rewatch them over and over repetition works. I learned in my medical anatomy and physiology classes that you have to try new foods 16 times to determine whether or not you like it, and it takes multiple repetitions to cement the knowledge in your brain ‐ any knowledge I forgot how many repetitions for this gotta love irony. I'm fairly certain of the amount for food I used it against my husband many many times.

    I make tea with cleavers, never ate them, I think they are rough 😊
    I let patches of chickweed grow around my garden, makes great pesto!
    plantain is the best! have rubbed it on my arm after pulling poison ivy, after I washed with soap and water. I got a few red spots but itching or real blistering.
    great video!!!

    • @TrilliumWildEdibles
      @TrilliumWildEdibles  7 лет назад +1

      They are rough, but in the early spring they bristles soften up and you don't even notice after boiling. I've never made tea with them before, I should though. Good to hear about chickweed pesto and glad the plantain helped you with poison ivy rash, that stuff can really suck! Thanks for commenting!

    In Africa we identify by giving to the goat if it eats it's ok .if it doesn't then we don't consume the problem is dosage or identifying what it treats,but most of the plants treat cough ,stomackahes and fever. Othe r diseases or by the ways brought by mordan way of living according to my own finding .no body trained the first Dr.

      Yes comfrey would be good too. I'd like to add it to the poultice I make out of mulien and plaintain. What can I say those 2 plants draw off inflammation and are soothing both inside as a tincture and outside. Adding comfrey would not only add to it as a poultice but a salve of the three are first 3 ingredients of my store bought drawing salve.

As an asthmatic that lives in an area that has a paper mill, I need this plant I make a tincture that's half mulien and half plantain that works well but that's best for a bronchitis situation it doesn't dig in to the deep stuff.

    You go on and on about the Mayapple, and only mention in the last few seconds that its poisonous. I hope I can unlearn everything that went before you bothered to mention that its poisonous. Why even show a poisonous plant in a video about edible plants? Take down the video. Sheesh.

    • @TrilliumWildEdibles
      @TrilliumWildEdibles  4 года назад +1

      Well had you paid attention, you would have realized the nuance behind using it. The plant is poisonous, but it's fruit is completely edible and a very popular wild edible at that. So this video is fine and you're overreacting by wanting to unlearn something just because part of what you learned doesn't fit your preformed expectations. If it being poisonous is a concern because you don't trust yourself to do it properly then it's better to stick to safe plants like dandelion and garlic mustard.

    • @eynkeehoohoohaechad4997
      @eynkeehoohoohaechad4997 4 года назад

      Trillium: Wild Edibles I did pay attention and did hear about the fruit. How about this instead: "Here is the (such and such), it is a poisonous plant, all parts are poisonous except for the berry..." then go into identification and everything else AFTER that. I would have just skipped to the next plant in the video instead of learning all about a poisonous plant. I have enjoyed a number of your other videos, but this one needs to be edited.

    @suzanneparrish1849 5 лет назад

    I'm sure this is a terrific video; AND... I hate being called a guy. Women are half the human race. You could say "Hey everybody!" or "y'all", or "Hello, all", or "Howdy, girls and boys", or just start right in with "Hello; today we're going to look at...", but it's very offputting to hear you immediately say "Hey guys", no matter how many people think it's just "a form of speech". You would never say "I met this guy and she...", right? If you can't use it in the singular, why would you use it in the plural?

    • @TrilliumWildEdibles
      @TrilliumWildEdibles  5 лет назад +5

      But it is a form of speech, meant as a generalized greeting and when used as such it isn't gender based.
      If my greeting offends you maybe you should think about why it offends you and solve that internal issue instead of dismissing an entire 40 minute long educational video based upon the way you were greeted.
