Being of the Cherokee people I was raised to know so many uses of edible plants. Mother nature is a beautiful blessing so many miss seeing. I find it sad more than not most aren't aware of common edibles in their own back yard. Medicinal, meals.. whatever the use of plants I believe everyone should be taught what can be found just in front of them they have never paid attention to.
It’s sad how we have been programmed to buy chemicals to kill “weeds” in our yards to have a perfect lawn and to buy supplemental vitamins for our nutritional needs, when what we need is right there in front of us for free !!! I’m proud of my “weedy” lawn and I never use chemicals !!! Blessings
There are some plans that you should also be aware of the word for the longest time used as medicinal, but they also contain highly toxic properties as well like smalls ragwort, which is used for Burns ulcers in the mouth. It’s used for women’s periods and internal bleeding and like a dozen other things … but it’ll also mess your heart up and destroy your liver.. it’s not instant so it would have been hard for early humans to correlate deaths with the herb 🌿 🌸

I'm a huge fan of foraging wild edibles and medicines. It is so easy to make salves and tinctures as well as other natural body products, laundrysoap and cleaners.

I'm familiar with most of these being a gardener, so look forward to trying them. I recently discovered curly dock or yellow dock is delicious! It tastes similar to spinach but "brighter"! I've eaten it several times a week tossed in a skillet in a little olive oil until it looks like spinach. Add a bit of salt and pepper. YUM! I eat it as a side with an egg especially. This weed has always been hard to kill but I'm friends with it now! It has oxalic acid too so I don't eat massive amounts or daily.
I love Curly Dock as well! Alot of people confuse it with a ruffled looking Plantain. It does have a very "bright" flavor compared to spinach, I agree with that. I hope to make a video on Curly / Yellow Dock soon! There are soo many wild edibles on this planet, it is amazing. Thank you for the comment Marshahall! 🙏

That's what I was trying to think of. I knew there was a lookalike but couldn't remember how to tell. The difference. I think the fakes also tase terrible and are extremely toxic.

Thank you for the info...last year I started taking an interest in foraging a little...and learning more this year thanks to our pandemic and having alot more time on my hands...I have veggie and flowers every year on my property...4 acres, and also in Oklahoma...and trying to get mushrooms to pop up...I have alot ot these plants listed on the grounds so I'm so excited!!
I'm in southeastern Oklahoma. What part are you in? Lots of these "weeds" are in my yard. It's awesome to find out all this good information about plants I literally walk over every day!
Howdy from another Okie here! 🤠Thats awesome you are finding these plants on your property! When all the stores shut down for the pandemic is when this video started blowing up.

I have most if not all of these on my property right now💖. I absolutely love being able to walk the land and find tasty additions to meals. Great video
Thats awesome you have them all around your property! I love when im walking around outside, and I point to a plant they thought was just a lowly weed, and say "did you know thats edible and medicinal"! They are always shocked lol. Thanks for the wonderful comment RamHornJoe! 😁
Mine too! Its soo nice to come out of boring depressing winter to a flush of bright green and freshly edible landscape. Spring is definitely my favorite season! 🏵
So excited to find this video. I have so much plantain in our yard. Though we have lawn care, they don't spray, only cut the yard. I was wondering what to do with the plantain if I take a morning to pick it. I may look to see if we have some dandelion.
Once you’ve picked the plantain leaves, you can use them the way you would spinach, kale, or other fresh greens-boil them, toss them into a stir fry or simply serve them raw in a tasty organic salad! The older ones can get a little more fiberous, so i could chop them up with a little olive oil and garlic and sauté them. 🌿
I chose these plants because they are likely in everyones yard and are prolific and easily identifiable! Such amazing plants to know! Thank you for the comment Thomas! 😁
Great video nice clear resolution and very informative. I have a several books on edible and medicinal wild plants that are very helpful and brought back memories of picking wild greens with my grandmother.
Very glad you enjoyed the video and found it informative. You can ever have enough wild edibles and medicinal books! Memories with our grandparents are treasures never to be forgotten!
Most of these are in my yard. And wood sorrel is in my raised bed! Lol thanks for the facts bud. I appreciate all the effort you put into the research. Filled in some info gaps I had. Thanks and Prep on sir!
Wood Sorrel is one of my favs for its lemony, bright, acidic flavor. Really goes well in a salad to give some of the more bland wild greens some flavor. Its everywhere outside right now! Just don't eat too much of it at one time because it contains high amounts of oxalic acid which can mess with your kidneys. A good way to counter Oxalic acid is to have Apple Cider Vinegar or Lemon Water in your diet. Thank you for the kind words and comment friend. Have a great day! 🌿
No problem Charlene! Im ecstatic you have been enjoying my videos! It motivates me to keep making them! When you go to the Prepper Pallooza with us, I can teach you these plants and more first hand! Looking forward the May!
Dandy-lion is used for so much more than that it's used as a t the dandelion flowers into jelly and two wine there's all kinds of things that you can do and also medicinally one thing you didn't mention is it can be infused with an oil and used as an oil cleanser to help with acne and with wrinkles
...I am new here in Europe and found those edible plants but I am hesitant to prepare or intake it, I wish you will also include the preparation please?
I will include videos of the preparations one day. I've got a huge list of videos I'd like to create! There's tons of videos on RUclips of how to prepare these as well if you are interested in how to do that. 😁🌱
Loved your video, it was incredibly informative and made identification of the plants sooooooooooooooooo easy. I have eaten a few wild eatables watching this video. I paused the video went to the yard, picked washed and ate. Thank you

Yes sir. Many of the plant species we have today in north america come from europeans, whether it be from the plants theh brought or feed for their animals or clothing. The dandelion is the most famous of course.

I was curious about this subject, and got really excited when I noticed it said these were Oklahoma weeds since that's where I am, and got even more excited when you started describing everything in my yard! What part of Oklahoma are you in? I'm in the rural southeastern part and (usually) go to a small group that meets one Sat. & Sun. afternoon a month and learn about plants, (herbs, weeds, etc.), and various somewhat related topics. I've subscribed hoping to learn more in the future. Thanks for your valuable information.
I live in a town near Tulsa in the Northeastern region of the state in a Zone 7A climate! I tried to choose very common plants that can also be found in most of the united states and europe as well, but these are all very common in Oklahoma too. Im very glad you found this video valuable and informative! I have been back on it making new videos, so keep an eye out for more content! Have a great day Rhoda! 🪴
@WalkInTheWildMedia My daughter has moved to Tulsa and has a decent sized yard with a privacy fence and lots of trees around. When I visited, she mentioned a tree she couldn't identify. I took a look at the unusual leaves and was pretty sure she has sassafras. We looked it up, and sure enough, that's what it is. I only know this from looking at field guides, as I'd never seen it in real life before. Now if we just knew how to use it, she might get some root beer or sarsparilla out of it.
Yeah there are soo many edible plants out there its insane. Theres actually far more edible ones than poisonous ones, we just have been conditioned by society to think that everything outside is scary and dangerous LOL
Soo glad you found this video helpful BlackSheep! Keep on learning my friend! Just knowing these 10 could feed you and your family for the rest of your days! 💚
I raised a rescue rabbit, eastern cottontail and weaned him on dandelion..he thinks they are marvelous...however in winter we purchase italian dandelion, imported from Texas...but he eats them because there is nothing else..but in spring, summer and fall I forage for food for him to eat, and occasionally, I will find small fruit that is edible...the rabbit is a pet not a meat animal
Thas awesome Mary! I make a salve thats a mix of Yarrow, Plantain, and Comfrey for bug bites and its a good mix of all the properties of each plant. Thanks for the comment! 🌿
hi thank you for this video can you go deep with the dandlion what is the best way to use the flower that wont get dry and the roots how to know if they ready THANX MICHAL
Certainly! Michal 🌻 Fresh Dandelion Flowers: Dandelion flowers have a mildly sweet and slightly bitter taste. To use the flowers without drying them, consider the following methods. Dandelion Flower Tea: Pluck the fresh flowers and steep them in hot water for about 5 to 10 minutes. Strain the flowers and enjoy the floral and earthy tea. You can add a touch of honey or lemon if desired. Dandelion Flower Infused Vinegar: Fill a jar with fresh dandelion flowers and cover them completely with apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar. Seal the jar and let it sit in a cool, dark place for a few weeks, shaking it occasionally. Strain out the flowers, and you'll have a flavorful dandelion-infused vinegar to use in dressings or marinades. Dandelion Flower Salad: Add fresh dandelion flowers to salads for an attractive and slightly bitter addition. They can bring color and a unique flavor profile to your greens. Dandelion Roots: The dandelion root is often used for its potential health benefits and its bitter taste. Here's how to determine if the roots are ready for use: Harvesting: The best time to harvest dandelion roots is in late fall or early spring when the plant is dormant. Look for mature plants with thick roots. Use a garden fork or trowel to carefully loosen the soil around the plant and gently lift the entire root from the ground. Cleaning: Once you've harvested the dandelion roots, wash them thoroughly to remove dirt and debris. Trim off any small hair-like roots and cut away the green tops. Drying: To prepare the roots for long-term storage or future use, you'll want to dry them. Spread the cleaned roots on a drying rack or in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight. Allow them to air dry for several days or until they become brittle and break easily. Roasting or Brewing: Dried dandelion roots can be used in various ways. They can be roasted and ground to make a coffee substitute, known as dandelion root coffee. Alternatively, you can simmer the dried roots in water to make a dandelion root tea. Both methods can help extract the potential health benefits and provide a unique flavor profile. When harvesting dandelion roots, ensure that you're collecting them from areas that are free from pesticides or other contaminants. Hope that helped! - Blake 🌿
I love how much detail you put into each plant! I'm going to share this with my 6000 friends on Minds social media hugs hugs hugs and keep up the good work sweetie! Shining my love light bright 💙 💚 💛 💜
Wow, this is great I just wish I had watched this before I did all the weeding I did yesterday. I think there were a few or more of these edibles I pulled and threw away. One I did save is the dandelion. However they've grown to about 3-4 feet, are they still edibles and how can they be eaten?
Sounds like topinambour, wild potatoes. The flowers get really tall. The roots look like ginger and cook up into a starchy vegetable. Tastes a bit like potatoe but has protein. Gives me lots of gas, though. I’ll keep them in case of a famine...nice flowers that bloom for months.
Dandelions can be eaten at any phase of their life cycle, though they are much tastier when they are younger and less bitter. The plant you might have found that looks like dandelion, but gets gets 3-4 ft tall may be Salsify (Tragopogon porrifolius). Look that up on google and see if that's the plant in your yard! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for the comment Mary! 😁
Thank you DocBravo! Yes identification can be tricky, but once you make that connection in your mind of the morphology of the plant and its characteristics.. then suddenly you see it everywhere! 🌻
I've been looking up my "weeds" in the backyard and identifing them, but now I just reached enlightment about a lot that remained unknown. :D Where did you learn all this awesome knowledge?
Honestly, every "problem" I had in my yard was in this video. I have so much regret for all the nasty grumblings I did last summer as I pulled all these innocent, useful plants out thinking they were bad haha.
My Mother she usually teach me about Chinese herbal medicine and Wild Edibles in China. But right now, I live in US, I don't know which Wild Edibles can eat without any knowledge about it. That Mean I need the real teacher who can teach me the knowledge in US too. In different country have different plants.
"Every weed is a useful plant if you know its value." - D.C. Henning! 🌿 Ive learned most of this knowledge from studying herbalism and foraging for years, watching tons of RUclips vids, reading articles on the internet, collecting and reading books on botany and gardening, and most of all applying everything ive learned in the field, and trying to integrate it into my soul! Thanks for the comment Fruz! 😁
I love wild onions , watercress,wild garlic , what about poke ? I love poke . Thank you ! I've seen most of these plants on the groungmd . What about wild strawberries ?
Those are all great plants you mentioned PeanutRichards! I like poke as well, just find it tedious to boil it and change out the water 2 times before consuming it to get the anti-nutrients out of it. Boiling it also destroys the vitamin C in it. Besides that, I think it's a great, common prolific plant! Plus the berries and be used to make a purple dye! 🌿 Thank you for the commet!
I work at a lawncare business and see these plants everywhere, it's a shame that they get all the nasty pesticides sprayed in their yard otherwise I'd be foraging it all. xD
By chance do you know how long roundup weed killer stays active in soil? I want to harvest some of the plants in our yard but my dumbass dad sprayed a lot of the lawn with roundup last season. Google says anywhere from 3 to 249 days but that’s a BIG time gap so I’m unsure if I should risk it this spring
Yes it is a shame. All those pesticides seep into the aquifers and water tables and pollute the heck outta our planet. You should look into how absolutely evil Monsanto the company that makes "round up" is! They have poisoned people for years and known about it all along! ☠☠
@@carolineboer5218 This is what I found on the matter: ☠To help clear up Roundup or glyphosate residues in the soil, you can take the following steps: Allow time: Glyphosate naturally breaks down over time due to microbial activity and environmental factors. Depending on the specific conditions, it may take several weeks to months for the residue levels to decrease significantly. Water the area: Watering the soil can help facilitate the natural degradation process. Adequate moisture encourages microbial activity, which aids in breaking down glyphosate. However, avoid excessive watering that may cause runoff or leaching into surrounding areas. Enhance soil microbial activity: Adding compost or organic matter to the soil can improve microbial activity, which can help break down glyphosate residues faster. This can be done by incorporating compost into the soil or applying compost as a top dressing. Plant cover crops: Planting cover crops, such as legumes or grasses, can help in several ways. They can absorb excess nutrients, prevent erosion, improve soil structure, and enhance microbial activity, potentially aiding in the degradation of glyphosate residues. Crop rotation: If feasible, consider rotating your crops. Different plant species have varying abilities to break down chemicals in the soil, and rotating crops can help diversify the microbial community and promote the breakdown of glyphosate residues. Test the soil: If you have concerns about glyphosate residues in the soil, you can consider testing the soil for residue levels. Soil testing laboratories can provide analysis for glyphosate or total herbicide residues in the soil, allowing you to assess the situation more accurately. Hope that helps! 🌿

Thank you for the info...last year I started taking an interest in foraging a little...and learning more this year thanks to our pandemic and having alot more time on my hands...I have veggie and flowers every year on my property...4 acres, and also in Oklahoma...and trying to get mushrooms to pop up...I have alot ot these plants listed on the grounds so I'm so excited!!
I'm in southeastern Oklahoma. What part are you in? Lots of these "weeds" are in my yard. It's awesome to find out all this good information about plants I literally walk over every day!
Howdy from another Okie here! 🤠Thats awesome you are finding these plants on your property! When all the stores shut down for the pandemic is when this video started blowing up. I think alot of people started getting interested in foraging around that time when they realized how fragile our food system really is, and how it can all be taken away in an instant. Thank you for the comment Carolyn! 🌿
@@rhodawatkins4516 Soo happy to see fellow Okies in here! We really do live in a great climate for a long foraging season. Im glad we dont live in a deep artic climate.. I think id go crazy! ❄
Wonderful information.
Thank you! Soo glad you found it useful! 😁
Life saving info, watch it again, and pay attention to the details.
That's soo true. We as humans have known these crucial skills for millenia and have forgot them in the last 100 years. Hopefully the people that see the importance of this knowledge will be willing to re-learn what we have lost. 📖
@@WalkInTheWildMedia we'll call this the lost & found video. Lol Thank you for sharing.
@@MrAllan9 Yes it is the lost and found video! Even if it takes me 4 years to answer all these comments, im gonna do it! Have an awesome day Mr. Allen! 😁
I have most if not all of these on my property right now💖. I absolutely love being able to walk the land and find tasty additions to meals. Great video
Thats awesome you have them all around your property! I love when im walking around outside, and I point to a plant they thought was just a lowly weed, and say "did you know thats edible and medicinal"! They are always shocked lol. Thanks for the wonderful comment RamHornJoe! 😁
Spring is my favorite time to forage. Well done and nice job.
Mine too! Its soo nice to come out of boring depressing winter to a flush of bright green and freshly edible landscape. Spring is definitely my favorite season! 🏵
So excited to find this video. I have so much plantain in our yard. Though we have lawn care, they don't spray, only cut the yard. I was wondering what to do with the plantain if I take a morning to pick it. I may look to see if we have some dandelion.
Once you’ve picked the plantain leaves, you can use them the way you would spinach, kale, or other fresh greens-boil them, toss them into a stir fry or simply serve them raw in a tasty organic salad! The older ones can get a little more fiberous, so i could chop them up with a little olive oil and garlic and sauté them. 🌿
Most of these make up my entire yard! What bounty!😊
I chose these plants because they are likely in everyones yard and are prolific and easily identifiable! Such amazing plants to know! Thank you for the comment Thomas! 😁
Like👍👍 very beautiful plant and nice information new friend here is stay connected
Thank you! Im soo happy you enjoyed the video!
thank you so much! You are so helpful in my quest to become a wild edible forager!!
You're very welcome Elru! We are all on that same quest right now! The learning never stops!!! 💚
Very discriptive and informative. As a gatherer, I enjoyed it very much.
Thank you Terry! Happy you found it informative. Always happy to help a fellow gatherer! 🌻
Very clear and informative
That's how I hoped it would come across! Soo glad you found value in it! 😁
Great video nice clear resolution and very informative. I have a several books on edible and medicinal wild plants that are very helpful and brought back memories of picking wild greens with my grandmother.
Very glad you enjoyed the video and found it informative. You can ever have enough wild edibles and medicinal books! Memories with our grandparents are treasures never to be forgotten!
Garlic mustard root sounds amazing
Yes it does! I bet that would have a delicious pungent mustardy flavor! Gonna have to try that. 🤤
Most of these are in my yard. And wood sorrel is in my raised bed! Lol thanks for the facts bud. I appreciate all the effort you put into the research. Filled in some info gaps I had. Thanks and Prep on sir!
Wood Sorrel is one of my favs for its lemony, bright, acidic flavor. Really goes well in a salad to give some of the more bland wild greens some flavor. Its everywhere outside right now! Just don't eat too much of it at one time because it contains high amounts of oxalic acid which can mess with your kidneys. A good way to counter Oxalic acid is to have Apple Cider Vinegar or Lemon Water in your diet. Thank you for the kind words and comment friend. Have a great day! 🌿
Thankyou for sharing your knowledge with us.
You are welcome Sara! soo glad it was helpful to you! 🌻
Very relaxing and informative.
I'll be more prepared in my wild edible adventures...
Much love, great work!💯
Makes me soo happy that you found it relaxing and informative! That was my goal in making this. Much love back Jocus Farm! 💚
Thanks!!! I got alot of this starting up in and outside my garden lol..... I'll be sure and utilize them! Excellent video!
Thats awesome! glad they are popping up nearby and you are able to identify them now! Thanks for the comment Datt! 🌿
Really great video! Informative & filled with beautiful pictures. Thanks
No problem Charlene! Im ecstatic you have been enjoying my videos! It motivates me to keep making them! When you go to the Prepper Pallooza with us, I can teach you these plants and more first hand! Looking forward the May!
Really excited to learn! Especially interested in wild lettuce? I bought the capsule encapsulater & want to learn to make natural pain medication.
@@WalkInTheWildMedia I love to learn more about the edible plant. Thank You! keep up the good works.

Dandy-lion is used for so much more than that it's used as a t the dandelion flowers into jelly and two wine there's all kinds of things that you can do and also medicinally one thing you didn't mention is it can be infused with an oil and used as an oil cleanser to help with acne and with wrinkles
Great points there! thanks for the comment RE-bg9ds! 🙏
...I am new here in Europe and found those edible plants but I am hesitant to prepare or intake it, I wish you will also include the preparation please?
I will include videos of the preparations one day. I've got a huge list of videos I'd like to create! There's tons of videos on RUclips of how to prepare these as well if you are interested in how to do that. 😁🌱

YES
Thanks for the comment JoJo! 🌿
Very good info. Thanks
You are welcome friend! 😁
Loved your video, it was incredibly informative and made identification of the plants sooooooooooooooooo easy. I have eaten a few wild eatables watching this video. I paused the video went to the yard, picked washed and ate. Thank you
Thats soo great to hear! Im glad this video was helpful to your identification of these plants in your yard! Now you know how much free organic food you really have outside! 😁
@@WalkInTheWildMedia My neighbors have seen me out many days with scissors cutting what they think are weeds in my yard. Just chewed up some plantain and applied it to a wound 😁😁😁
All ten grow in Germany too. I gecognized all of them. Still learned a lot from this video. Thanks a lot!
Only our wood sorrel is Bloomington withe 😊
Yes sir. Many of the plant species we have today in north america come from europeans, whether it be from the plants theh brought or feed for their animals or clothing. The dandelion is the most famous of course.
Thats great news! Soo awesome you were able to recognize these in Germany as well! Much Love from Oklahoma! 🌎
@@miguelmarquez4192 Yep! Alot of these plants were brought over to this continent by sea and ship as pot herbs in the early days of settlement and colonization of this country as you said! History is soo interesting.

Eating this way works wonders on diabetes. Im glad you are taking the natural path, and not totally relying on Big Pharma to "cure" you with their "treatments".

I was curious about this subject, and got really excited when I noticed it said these were Oklahoma weeds since that's where I am, and got even more excited when you started describing everything in my yard! What part of Oklahoma are you in? I'm in the rural southeastern part and (usually) go to a small group that meets one Sat. & Sun. afternoon a month and learn about plants, (herbs, weeds, etc.), and various somewhat related topics. I've subscribed hoping to learn more in the future. Thanks for your valuable information.
I live in a town near Tulsa in the Northeastern region of the state in a Zone 7A climate! I tried to choose very common plants that can also be found in most of the united states and europe as well, but these are all very common in Oklahoma too. Im very glad you found this video valuable and informative! I have been back on it making new videos, so keep an eye out for more content! Have a great day Rhoda! 🪴
@WalkInTheWildMedia My daughter has moved to Tulsa and has a decent sized yard with a privacy fence and lots of trees around. When I visited, she mentioned a tree she couldn't identify. I took a look at the unusual leaves and was pretty sure she has sassafras. We looked it up, and sure enough, that's what it is. I only know this from looking at field guides, as I'd never seen it in real life before. Now if we just knew how to use it, she might get some root beer or sarsparilla out of it.
Thank you. Excellent presentation.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it David. 😁
this is a great video man! I didnt know that you could eat like 90% of this.
Yeah there are soo many edible plants out there its insane. Theres actually far more edible ones than poisonous ones, we just have been conditioned by society to think that everything outside is scary and dangerous LOL

Soo glad you found this video helpful BlackSheep! Keep on learning my friend! Just knowing these 10 could feed you and your family for the rest of your days! 💚
I raised a rescue rabbit, eastern cottontail and weaned him on dandelion..he thinks they are marvelous...however in winter we purchase italian dandelion, imported from Texas...but he eats them because there is nothing else..but in spring, summer and fall I forage for food for him to eat, and occasionally, I will find small fruit that is edible...the rabbit is a pet not a meat animal
That's heartwarming to think of you hand feeding your pet rabbit on Wild Edibles like Dandelion. I bet he loves and is much healthier for it! 🐰🌿

hi thank you for this video
can you go deep with the dandlion what is the best way to
use the flower that wont get dry
and the roots how to know if they ready
THANX MICHAL
Certainly! Michal 🌻
Fresh Dandelion Flowers:
Dandelion flowers have a mildly sweet and slightly bitter taste. To use the flowers without drying them, consider the following methods.
Dandelion Flower Tea: Pluck the fresh flowers and steep them in hot water for about 5 to 10 minutes. Strain the flowers and enjoy the floral and earthy tea. You can add a touch of honey or lemon if desired.
Dandelion Flower Infused Vinegar: Fill a jar with fresh dandelion flowers and cover them completely with apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar. Seal the jar and let it sit in a cool, dark place for a few weeks, shaking it occasionally. Strain out the flowers, and you'll have a flavorful dandelion-infused vinegar to use in dressings or marinades.
Dandelion Flower Salad: Add fresh dandelion flowers to salads for an attractive and slightly bitter addition. They can bring color and a unique flavor profile to your greens.
Dandelion Roots:
The dandelion root is often used for its potential health benefits and its bitter taste. Here's how to determine if the roots are ready for use:
Harvesting: The best time to harvest dandelion roots is in late fall or early spring when the plant is dormant. Look for mature plants with thick roots. Use a garden fork or trowel to carefully loosen the soil around the plant and gently lift the entire root from the ground.
Cleaning: Once you've harvested the dandelion roots, wash them thoroughly to remove dirt and debris. Trim off any small hair-like roots and cut away the green tops.
Drying: To prepare the roots for long-term storage or future use, you'll want to dry them. Spread the cleaned roots on a drying rack or in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight. Allow them to air dry for several days or until they become brittle and break easily.
Roasting or Brewing: Dried dandelion roots can be used in various ways. They can be roasted and ground to make a coffee substitute, known as dandelion root coffee. Alternatively, you can simmer the dried roots in water to make a dandelion root tea. Both methods can help extract the potential health benefits and provide a unique flavor profile.
When harvesting dandelion roots, ensure that you're collecting them from areas that are free from pesticides or other contaminants.
Hope that helped!

I love how much detail you put into each plant! I'm going to share this with my 6000 friends on Minds social media hugs hugs hugs and keep up the good work sweetie! Shining my love light bright 💙 💚 💛 💜
Thank you for that Shannon! You made my day!!! Hugs and Kisses back, and keep shine shine shining bright like a diamond! 💎💎
Wow, this is great I just wish I had watched this before I did all the weeding I did yesterday. I think there were a few or more of these edibles I pulled and threw away. One I did save is the dandelion. However they've grown to about 3-4 feet, are they still edibles and how can they be eaten?
Mary I don't think it's dandelion if it grew to 3-4 ft!
@@johnharris7353 Thanks. I went out and got some seeds to be sure I have dandelion.
Sounds like topinambour, wild potatoes. The flowers get really tall. The roots look like ginger and cook up into a starchy vegetable. Tastes a bit like potatoe but has protein. Gives me lots of gas, though. I’ll keep them in case of a famine...nice flowers that bloom for months.
Dandelions can be eaten at any phase of their life cycle, though they are much tastier when they are younger and less bitter. The plant you might have found that looks like dandelion, but gets gets 3-4 ft tall may be Salsify (Tragopogon porrifolius). Look that up on google and see if that's the plant in your yard! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for the comment Mary! 😁
@@johnharris7353 Yes dandelions are much smaller even fully grown. Hopefully she can identify what she has found.🌻🌻

Outstanding video! The identification is the toughest part! Can’t wait to look fir these in my neck of woods
Thank you DocBravo! Yes identification can be tricky, but once you make that connection in your mind of the morphology of the plant and its characteristics.. then suddenly you see it everywhere! 🌻
I've been looking up my "weeds" in the backyard and identifing them, but now I just reached enlightment about a lot that remained unknown. :D Where did you learn all this awesome knowledge?
Honestly, every "problem" I had in my yard was in this video. I have so much regret for all the nasty grumblings I did last summer as I pulled all these innocent, useful plants out thinking they were bad haha.
My Mother she usually teach me about Chinese herbal medicine and Wild Edibles in China. But right now, I live in US, I don't know which Wild Edibles can eat without any knowledge about it. That Mean I need the real teacher who can teach me the knowledge in US too. In different country have different plants.

Ive learned most of this knowledge from studying herbalism and foraging for years, watching tons of RUclips vids, reading articles on the internet, collecting and reading books on botany and gardening, and most of all applying everything ive learned in the field, and trying to integrate it into my soul! Thanks for the comment Fruz! 😁
I love wild onions , watercress,wild garlic , what about poke ? I love poke . Thank you ! I've seen most of these plants on the groungmd . What about wild strawberries ?
Those are all great plants you mentioned PeanutRichards! I like poke as well, just find it tedious to boil it and change out the water 2 times before consuming it to get the anti-nutrients out of it. Boiling it also destroys the vitamin C in it. Besides that, I think it's a great, common prolific plant! Plus the berries and be used to make a purple dye! 🌿 Thank you for the commet!
From eastern Oklahoma, thank you!

Great! Thank you for the comment Frank! 😁
We have similar to number 9 in Asia it grows in water watercress very delicious
Thats very interesting Luishang! Would love to taste it 💧
I work at a lawncare business and see these plants everywhere, it's a shame that they get all the nasty pesticides sprayed in their yard otherwise I'd be foraging it all. xD
By chance do you know how long roundup weed killer stays active in soil? I want to harvest some of the plants in our yard but my dumbass dad sprayed a lot of the lawn with roundup last season. Google says anywhere from 3 to 249 days but that’s a BIG time gap so I’m unsure if I should risk it this spring
Yes it is a shame. All those pesticides seep into the aquifers and water tables and pollute the heck outta our planet. You should look into how absolutely evil Monsanto the company that makes "round up" is! They have poisoned people for years and known about it all along! ☠☠
@@carolineboer5218 This is what I found on the matter:
☠To help clear up Roundup or glyphosate residues in the soil, you can take the following steps:
Allow time: Glyphosate naturally breaks down over time due to microbial activity and environmental factors. Depending on the specific conditions, it may take several weeks to months for the residue levels to decrease significantly.
Water the area: Watering the soil can help facilitate the natural degradation process. Adequate moisture encourages microbial activity, which aids in breaking down glyphosate. However, avoid excessive watering that may cause runoff or leaching into surrounding areas.
Enhance soil microbial activity: Adding compost or organic matter to the soil can improve microbial activity, which can help break down glyphosate residues faster. This can be done by incorporating compost into the soil or applying compost as a top dressing.
Plant cover crops: Planting cover crops, such as legumes or grasses, can help in several ways. They can absorb excess nutrients, prevent erosion, improve soil structure, and enhance microbial activity, potentially aiding in the degradation of glyphosate residues.
Crop rotation: If feasible, consider rotating your crops. Different plant species have varying abilities to break down chemicals in the soil, and rotating crops can help diversify the microbial community and promote the breakdown of glyphosate residues.
Test the soil: If you have concerns about glyphosate residues in the soil, you can consider testing the soil for residue levels. Soil testing laboratories can provide analysis for glyphosate or total herbicide residues in the soil, allowing you to assess the situation more accurately.
Hope that helps! 🌿
