Cattail - Wild Edibles Series

[@TREEfool]

All of the other videos that I found about eating cat tails consisted of a KZbinr talking in front of a camera without a cattail. Thank you for going into so much detail about the different edible parts of the plant and actually showing it on film. You earned yourself a subscriber.

Also also: To anyone watching this who hasn't seen another video on cattail before, make sure to be careful where you harvest your cattail from. Cattail is great at purifying any body of water it's planted by, but this is because it absorbs chemical contaminants into itself. So, if the cattail is growing near a road or an industrial plant that uses chemicals or something of the like, eating them is likely to make you sick, or worse.

[@Klodhu]

This should get pinned

[@cylyte2436]

Ooo yes, was just about to comment the same!

[@NotCinnaRock]

I won’t recommend eating a cattail if it has chemicals or not

[@DaZebraffe]

@@NotCinnaRock There's actually multiple parts of the cattail plant that are, in fact, quite edible. Like this video pointed out.

[@NotCinnaRock]

@@DaZebraffe i know but i don’t really recommend it

Great!! Never heard of the polen beeing used as flour. Very cool!! Thanks

[@davidspassage]

+Márcio Floripa It's pretty delicious :-)

[@lanah8678]

Best thing about the pollen flour is that you don't have to do any further processing of it to make it edible. I strain it through a screen to get out impurities. Be careful not to sneeze or it will go all over...it is very light!

[@DiggerDugg]

My whole back yard is a swamp, I'm going out there to test for pollen right now. Thanks man, you made me hungry.

The mulberries took me back. We had a mulberry tree on the road in my papaw's front yard. Every year we'd shake them on a tarp. I'd eat them off the road if I had to! Lol. Good times.

[@necrobynerton7384]

@Reinald same! though it kinda showed up of its own accord, to our surprise because our backyard dirt&soil is pretty hostile to foods, long history why. Shame though our incompetence left the poor thing not being able to produce any mulberries.

[@wassupstock]

Same! Best fruit ever, especially bc they were so! easy to harvest. ❤️

[@K.I.M.7777]

That looked so darn good! Yummy! I am just learning about foraging. I had no idea, like no clue, how much food is growing outdoors in our backyards or on trails. All of what is growing and edible, whether the flower, stem, berry, roots, etc., and no matter how it can be ingested (tea or raw, etc., ) is loaded with medicinal properties. The school system didn't teach me or most of us any of this. Turns out that as a child, I really was playing with my food.

[@violetamethyst1186]

I had no idea you could get gluten free flour from pollen! Dude, this is awesome! Thanks so much for the video. I have celiac disease, so it's nice to know of one more source of where to get gluten free flour! :)

[@fleendarthemagnificent7372]

I very much enjoy eating the male pollen head spike (corm) when I can get them. I did this year (2023) from mid May through early July. I also discovered that the narrow leaf cattail sprouts and produces its corm earlier than the broad leaf cattail which is a few weeks later here in Ohio. Regardless of specie, both taste great. Anyhow, to keep in mind is this, that these plants filter out harmful chemicals and substances. Harvest your edibles away from cities, highways and anywhere else where heavy pollutants occur.

[@wassupstock]

Just discovered this, can't wait to get through the whole series! Thanks for all the close-up work and eating them right on camera. Bonus: mulberries!! Haven't had them in forty years, I miss them so!

[@pyrofful]

Also in the state of Wisconsin several species of cattails are protected as endangered. Do research to make sure you don't get a fine for foraging.

[@chanceifer5600]

Great vid, thanks for showing all the parts so clearly. I didn't know about the pollen. Can you store it for any length of time? Thans

[@davidspassage]

Chance ifer Yes. The pollen is very much like flour in that regard from what I understand. Make sure it's nice and dry and it should hold well for quite some time.

[@DaZebraffe]

Oh, also, cattail pollen as a flour substitute? Usually has a more enjoyable texture if you sift it through a fine-mesh strainer, first. 's 'cause when you take it right off the plant, it has a tendency to already contain quite a lot of inedible fluff.

[@Dan0rioN]

I would imagen you could use the pollen of any plant the same way?? Is it safe to assume you could consume any part of cattail thru various different methods as well??

[@lanah8678]

The pollen of any plant that is edible should also be edible. But the amounts are so small from most plants that it would take a long time to get enough for a pancake! The pollen from one cattail stalk can be considerable. All pollen is high in protein (not a complete protein, however).

[@ThisisFizban]

This is awesome. I wonder if the cattail pollen could be used to make bread. Has anyone tried this?

[@georgehays4908]

......I imagine that if it makes a pancake , bread could be made too ! We here from Cass County MICHIGAN , have maple syrup and lot's of cattails ! Maranatha !

[@georgehays4908]

.......if you're ever over this way . ..........let's play Fizban , I had a shronk . .....on a Tuesday ! I am assuming that you know what I'm talking about . ......StarTrek imaginary card game ?

[@lanah8678]

See my comments above. Without gluten, the bread does not rise. Pollen has no gluten. Mix it half and half with white flour, and you can use that in ANY recipe for bread or cakes.

[@emazi918]

Would you cook the inner stalk part? or the shoots? I am new to foraging and trying to make it appetizing (and fun) for four kids. I will definitely be making pollen pancakes for them in the spring.

[@lanah8678]

Even finicky eaters will eat wild foods with relish if they've helped collect it or been part of the process somehow. Great fun for the family together! The stalks and roots are both very mild in taste, so flavor it the way your family will like it. The texture of the raw stalk is like celery and is good in salads or just to eat raw. Or cooked as much as you want, from crispy fried and flavored with salt or whatever, to asparagus texture in soups, juiced in soups and V-8 style juice, as a vegetable with cheese, etc. Pick enough to experiment with! Have the kids make suggestions...they might surprise you with something really good! Make potato chips or fried potatoes with the roots too. This is the benefit of such a mild taste...you can use it in more ways.
