I saw some sassafras near that maitake as well ;-) Love this vid, thank you!

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Glad you liked it! Yeah there's a lot of Sassafras in this forest. I love getting some every spring for tea, syrups, and ice creams.

Awesome, can’t wait to see the next one.

Good informational video , thanks for sharing , God bless !

Great video Josh. I have been finding acorns very intriguing lately. I have never touched them. It is very hard to find a clean source around here. Lots of dog pee and poo in these areas. I live in a small town so people have their dogs in all the forests here. Unfortunately so many places here have been turned into urban jungle. Sad…

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

They're really flavorful but just time consuming to process. Samuel Thayers book Natures Garden covers the process rather well. For finding a good spot best bet is in areas you'd go deer hunting in, not many people to spoil it. Downside is getting the Acorns before the deer and squirrels, lol!

I just had lentil soup with Maitake mushrooms is a delicious meat substitute.

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Sounds good! That's one of the great things about mushrooms is they are good meat replacement for those who wish to not consume meat.

Add hickory nuts

Awesome video Josh, I have yet to try acorn anything because trying to find a good abundance of white oak acorns is pretty tough these days, hope all is going great for you, happy belated Thanksgiving & a happy Christmas to you & your family, stay safe & hh, 👍🍺🍺🍄🍏🍇🌳🌲🍺🍺⚓🇺🇸

I found vervain well...some kind of vervain I looked up on these apps I have for identifying plants, but still confuse. Which one is edible and for tea. Thank for any info.

[@angryoldman9140]

His entire channel is a huge wealth of knowledge. You can only say so many things over and over again. Consider watching his older videos they are just as good as his new ones.

Hey fella! Great to see you here✨✨🌿✨✨

[@kleineroteHex]

Just read up on acorn use😊 the other plants I have and use but I have no luck finding edible mushrooms.

[@NatureAndOther]

Very interesting video 👍 How to store and process acorn ?

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Thank you! Acorns require a rather lengthy process and there's several ways to do it but I'll try to shorten it as best I can. Collect the Acorns and separate the bad ones from the good ones, most of this can be done in the woods by checking for cracks, mold, holes, etc. Once home wash well and dry for a couple hours. During washing throw out any that float because they are unusable. Then crack and shell the Acorns separating the nut meat from the shell and skin. At this point you are ready for leaching them. This has to be done to remove tannic acid otherwise they are too bitter. To leach the Acorns grind them into a flour/meal and then keep under running water for several weeks. Taste them occasionally to see if the bitterness is gone. The other way, and much faster too, is to mash the Acorns a bit but keeping them in good size chunks. Like 1/8 to 1/4 size. Then boil for 2 to 3 hours multiple times, replacing the water each time. This is done until they are no longer bitter and can take up to 15 times so be prepared for that. After you have leached the Acorns spread them to dry or better yet, use a food dehydrator to prevent them from molding. After your Acorns or flour has dried it's ready for use. To store it just simply store in mason jars like you would regular flour. Hope this helps some but I highly recommend researching further if you plan to use them for food. Samuel Thayers book Natures Garden covers the process very well if you want to read more about it.

This seems like such an argous process . Ugh.. If the flavor was better I might consider the time consuming process . What not just leave them for the squirrels (*❛‿❛)→

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

If they're leached the flavor is fantastic, but you don't have to forage Acorns if you don't want to. Many people enjoy them, myself included don't see the process as a problem.

What’s with the hand it’s nerve wracking and distracting

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

This video is made from clips of older videos, hence the hand. Sorry you find it distracting.
