Learn about wild food with Green Deane. In this video we'll take a look at a common mustard that around the world just above the high tide line.

[@EatTheWeeds]

Yes, at least two kinds of it grow in your area, maritima and edentula.

[@EatTheWeeds]

Right you are... I try to keep it ...uncomplicated..

[@EatTheWeeds]

Deserts aren't empty, but you do have to look harder.

[@EatTheWeeds]

Thanks, you're always kind...

This grows wildly next to the ocean in San Diego

[@BillHinson]

Just found this plant today while on a Texas beach

[@odin422]

this grow here in California? Thanks for your dedication.

[@EatTheWeeds]

I'm glad there was only one, got me on the ankle

[@EatTheWeeds]

What general area do you live in? That makes a difference.

[@MadBadVoodo]

Five Stars!!

I am learning about wild edibles. So, your videos are very informative. Would you do a video on edible sea weeds? Thank you.

[@EatTheWeeds]

It's a matter of perspective, knowledge and timing...foraging is not a skill learned overnight. Wilds food wouldn't do much to blunt a sudden food shortage because almost no one knows how to do it... whereas a century ago nearly every one did know how to do it.

Deane, that's two different subspecies. The species is the same. I know you really know that but wanted to clarify for those with less of a botany background.

"And [fire ants] are not edible! Well, they are but they're not too tasty." I hear they taste like vinegar!:O

Um, eating plants of many kinds is vital to life, and avoiding legal liability to a perverse extent is an unfortunate need for those trying to hack out income from KZbin. What I would say is work to learn about plant identification before eating plants you don't know AS IF YOU LIFE DEPENDED ON IT, BECAUSE IT DOES. However, learn also, as if your life depended on it, because some day it may. Our society's provisioning through grocery outlets is not a sociologically healthy method, at least not alone, and in and of itself should serve as a metaphor for how far off we are from stable sustainable living.
