    This is an amazing video 👍
    I don't understand why more of these videos don't pop up in my feed.
    I like to lightly fry the meat of the stalks until they have just a few dark brown spots (in real butter) .
    Great video 👍

    I'm doing green smoothies something like Wheatgrass. I take the leaves of a few edible wild foods stinging nettle, tiny bit burdock leaves, and good portion of Thistle leaves. Pass through blender and then French press all fiber out! I'm eating lots of burdock and with your trick I'm going to experiment! My favorite meal now is forged mushroom resoto with burdock roots! I'm going to add Thistle next!!!

    Hi Allen. To help get rid of those pesky thorns, splinters, etc. I usually put a good dose of castor oil on it and cover with a bandage overnight. Or use drawing salve if I have some made up. Really helps get it moving out. Now I'm hungry for thistles. Nice video

    We tried milk thistle for the first time yesterday. The leaves are really nice in salad. The thistles were pretty mild on the young plants.

    I have a Burdock soup recipe I'll try replacing it with thistle roots. Have to wait until fall...just a little bit past root season in my area. I actually uploaded a video on my channel yesterday. First one.

      Yeah you know what to do. Learn the species in your area and I’m sure you’ll find one that can work.

    What do you do with the bulbs on the thistle plants? I heard those were edible too!

    I've seen people mention the same gas issues with thistle root as burdock root; any idea if being sensitive to that with burdock would suggest that thistle root would also be a problem?

    • @foragerchef4141

      They’re both asters so they could have similar compounds, but I’ve never had a problem. Sunchokes on the other hand…🥴

    Is this the same thing as milk thistle? I wish there was a close up at the beginning of the video.

    Lavender essential oil may help with thorns and splinters in skin.

    Hey Alan, those pants look rad - do you recommend them? if so what are they?
    great video as always man, thanks for the info!

    • @foragerchef4141
      @foragerchef4141  Год назад +1

      Oh yeah I recommend them. They’re keb trousers by Fjallraven. Stretchy, super durable. Scandinavian pants without back pockets will change your life too. Feel like a ninja. Figure out your size and get them half off on EBay-what I do.

      I couldn't live without back pockets, what's the advantage besides the front armoring against spineage?

    I had NO idea that thistles were edible. They are growing all over my yard (as well as Burdock - but google made me afraid to eat the burdock, as there are some not quite as edible, it seems)
    Back to thistles. Are all thistles edible, orher than Milk thistle? I'm getting mixed info on google, and I Really really want to cook them now.😂
    Your videos are amazing.
    My daughter and I LOVE to forage (Vancouver Island) and we feel this year is going to be AMAZING!!

      I don’t know any poisonous thistles. The ones I ate in BC were so tender I credit them partially for my win on the Hulu show. Also, every species of burdock is edible and sold in Asian grocers around the country. Here if you have more q’s.
