My grandfather used to treat hogs for collora using poke weed root. He would boil the root in water. Then strain off the water into a long necked wine bottle. Stick the bottle down the hogs throat to dose him with about 1/4 of the bottle. Even if the hog was down sick and couldn't get up, this would cure the hog of collora. He too would pick the young leaves as greens. Great videos!!!

[@johndix1820]

Traveler1226 Are you meaning Cholera like what nearly kills people or am I misunderstanding? I never want to see it but would like to know of a treatment. My understanding up to now was antibiotics and IV for days until symptoms subside after 3-4 weeks.

[@MrDanrn999]

Thank you for sharing!

[@Traveler1226]

@@johndix1820 This reply is 3 years too late. But the poke root cure is only good for hogs. Which is because of their strong liver which filters out toxins very well. If you tried to treat a human with cholera using poke root it would kill a human.

OH Happy day! So happy to see a video from you. I live and work on a ranch many miles west of Houston, Texas. After watching most of your vids, I can't help but look everywhere I walk for plants I've seen you talk about. I don't attempt to pick and eat the plants because I don't trust that I remembered all that needs to be remembered about a found plant but it's exciting to search and be aware of the wild foods. The recent rains have awoken many plants from last years drought. Thanks!

[@Tammylynn64]

Could you please include common names of these plants....most people don't know or understand the botanical names( Latin ). Thank you this would be most appreciated... 💙💙💙💙

[@cross27]

@tnnt05 and that's why its handy to know how to pronounce Latin and be interested in the botanical names, if you give me a timestamp i can help you

[@gayatrimelkote6822]

Common names can be deceptive. People use different common names for the same weed and the same names for wildly different weeds and sometimes they overlap too. Very unreliable.

[@occipitalneuralgia2339]

You will find that different regions call plants different nicknames...so it’s always eat to look up the universal Latin name. That you can find out what it’s called in your region. Plants can look alike and one can be poisonous...too...so please do research.

[@marinacarbajal7355]

It would be nice to read the common names as you said 🙄

In 5:40 you're showing a plant. And around that plant, if you watch carefully there were circular shaped tiny plants. It's called Gotukola( centella asiatita) which can be eaten like a salad, or stir-fry dish.

[@williamnewman845]

Thank you for the wonderful knowledge to expand our minds. We all can always enjoy gaining useful knowledge that our bodies can enjoy. Now that it is getting warmer here in central Ohio I can go outside or take a stroll in our local state park to explore and forage tasty wild healthy eats for lunch. That is always the best part of Spring. Thanks again for such knowledgeable experience of joyful new beginnings.

dandelions are very high in nutrition but they taste very bitter. a way Koreans use to cook mindeullae (the korean name for it) is by marinating it in soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and Dried Korean chili powder. it will still be a bit more bitter but it's still very good and is one of my favorite dishes to eat with rice.

[@ewellford]

Dandelion leaves are less bitter on younger plants. They make a great addition to salad greens. Dandelions that have flowered will be more bitter and when the flowers go to seed the leaves are at their bitterest. When they are too bitter for salads, they can be sauteed with other vegetables or tossed into soup.

I eat a lot of chickweed but mostly as a juice. Chickweed covers the soil in my garden every spring, uninvited, and now that I have embraced it I see it is a gift and not the bane I believed it was before. lol I find the best chickweed grows in the shadow of something else. the leaves are larger, juicier and softer if grown in a shadow of spring greens and cabbages etc. I add a large handful to my juicing mix of greens (it would amount to a cup) or added to a salad mix.

Cactus are native to 46 of the United States (and yes it is native to Alaska.) You will have to read my article to find out which states catus are not native to. Locally my cactus blooms a couple of times a year.

[@theone-so9br]

I don't make a habit of foraging for plants but do have a garden and fruit trees. Most plants leaves will change color when they stop using chlorophyll to process most of the light and begin using mostly xanthophyll. Chlorophyll gives the leaves the green color and the xanthophyll is more yellow. Reds, purples, and even sometimes blues are caused by anthocyanin.

[@Luculencia]

also some plant's leaves will turn purplish or reddish when the plant is deprived of certain nutrients (eg phosphorus).

[@wilygramma9921]

I have decided to embrace weeds since my gardening experiences have been stressful. Dandelions and lambs quarters are really doing well and so is yellow dock. I've been dehydrating extra to use in meals for the winter. Add to soups and casseroles, meatloaf, my family doesn't even know.

Poke is not that poisonous, only the seeds and the purple/red parts are.. In Japan they eat it all summer long and so do I.. I dry it, can it or freeze it.. I batter and fry tender stems and leaves.. I make jelly, pies and pills from the berries.. I have been eating it all of my seventy years.. I have been cooking and serving it to family and friends for fifty five years.. None of us have ever gotten sick from eating it..

[@lastdollarfilms]

Robin Conkel-hAnnan I've eaten this most of my life as well. However I always parboil it. I'd feel really bad if my arrogance at dodging a bullet made someone else sick.

[@robinconkel-hannan6629]

lastdollarfilms I got tired of parboiling one day and didn't do it.. I was cooking for myself only.. I suffered no ill effects so I'm still not parboiling twenty years later.. Vitamins dissolve in water and when we pour water we waste nutrients.. I really hated the thought of losing those nutrients and wondered how much food value is left..

[@lastdollarfilms]

Most will not suffer ill effect from the leaves but the danger is still there. I have eaten them not parboiled but as a general rule I still try to do it. I see no difference between parboiling and normal cooking or veggies in water and if that were a major thing then canning would ruin food as well.

Funny that you say that. I was foolishly making tea from this plant when I started herbs 6 years ago. I lost a lot of water weight and then I read it was poisonous :)

Hi Deane. Loved the very informative video. Thanks so much. I told you about the apple trees that I planted in Southern Ohio.

I'm familiar with most of these wild edibles; however, you failed to mention on a majority of them which parts are actually edible. For instance on the pepper you failed to mention if the leaves/stem/roots are edible when introducing the plant until wayyyy later on. And I certainly would clarify what is and isn't edible on the nightshade plant and how to properly prepare it; I wouldn't advise any one eat it because it WILL kill someone. I know the seeds are as I've eaten them before. Otherwise a nice, information video. Thank you for sharing.

I remember back in New Jersey, Opuntia growing rampant among rock outcroppings on steep overlooks that I used to frequent (being a kind of lover of heights). They almost never had thorns. I have since learned that there are amature botanists and seed savers who have got hold of these and selected them so they could grow thornless Opuntias. I can almost swear that that was what they called them. I may be mistaken. I understand they are very delectable, never having tried them.
