Your favorite wild edible?
    #14240390 - 04/05/11 06:19 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

I love harvesting wild edibles for medicine and for food....

I'm curious as to what all your favorite wild edibles are?
(excluding berries, I mean, because come on, I think they'll always win out in the end for deliciousness.:smirk:)

I'd have to say mine is Wapato, I gather it every late summer and fall and serve it up to my oblivious friends who think it's taters, along side some spear or air rifle hunted conie meat.

Wapato, Sagittaria latifolia, Was a staple of the Natives here and was gathered in mass and saved and eaten through winter here.

Here are a couple pictures I have taken of it.

This is a pic of the purple tubers freshly gathered from a mucky riverbed. It was taken at night, hence the darkness.


This is it flowering along a previously submerged river bank in the late summer, accompanied by some Phalaris arundinacea, Reed canary grass.

  • Choice edible mushrooms, obviously. Especially boletus sp. and cantharellus sp., because of their sheer deliciousness.
  • Nettles, because of their abundance and the fact that they have 1000 uses.
  • Nuts (esp. hazelnuts and chestnuts) because of their attractive energy/weight ratio and ease of collecting.

New growth from a Hemlock tree is always tasty.

Nettles FTW
They are a top 25 super food.
Contain protein too, which is a huge plus.
If you can catch fish, and the plants around you are in season, you will never go hungry.

I just discovered this last year, but I LOVE eating cattails.

Specifically the roots. I know there are a lot of other ways you can consume a cattail and I hope to try this year.

I would LOVE to learn of all of the things I could forage. I started reading "Foragers Harvest" by Samuel Thayer. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested. :thumbup:

You should collect cattail pollen.
Use it like a flour. The season for that is just around the corner.

I did read that! I would love to try that. Do you know when the correct
time to collect the pollen would be?:smile:

June-ish.
Maybe earlier or later depending on where you are located and how the weather plays out.

Mulberries. Oh my god. I grew up eating them and still do. They are EVERYWHERE in mid Michigan, and I can make a bomb ass bottle of preserves. Peanut butter and mulberry sandwiches are EPIC AS FUCK. :winning:

If Im out in the southwest mountains in the summer, I can make a nice soup from wild asparagus and wild squash.  Pinon nuts are good too.
