Foraging Field Garlic 🧄: Identifying, Harvesting, & Cooking Safely

[@hahaipokedyouoel483]

One of Gods many gifts in the garden.

[@debbiee6535]

one year after my daughter and I had spent all winter winter being sick I heard I found out that the field garlics were great for cleansing the blood just before winter I went out and I picked everyone I could find and that was a lot and we cooked them and we had them for dinner we were not sick all winter long

[@abundantharmony]

I had the stuff growing in my backyard and I thought it was chives because the greenery growing from it tasted like onion, so I dug it up and planted it! Now it's flowering and it turns out it was wild field garlic! Cool!

[@itsahannahbananna]

Binge watching your videos and, and I'm seeing all these plants and flowers i used to pick during my childhood to make my dolls a backyard salad during our outdoor picnics❤🥰 a childhood spent outdoors in the country side is irreplaceable.❤

[@bayoutown1990]

These grow all over my acreage in deep south Mississippi but we call them "wild onions". The birds love to move them around and they become happy little surprise packages for me to find in the spring. Really good video! I just subscribed to your channel.

[@thetacoman4268]

This is wonderful. Hope your channel gains more traffic due to your acorn video. I myself have subscribed and am currently binging you entire channel!

[@A10TOES]

Me too!

[@milosheppard7261]

Same

[@demultiplexdfunc177]

This channel is by far the most underrated homesteading channel. I hope you continue to make more videos but I know they require a lot of work especially at the high level of narration that you put into it. Thank you.

[@NYThaiapple]

I totally agreed. This is so underrated channel. Really like her work and effort that she put on it. Well done 👍🏼

[@andyschuetz8413]

this channel is way too well done and informative to have so few subs! Going to be showing to all my friends!

[@First._.Last.]

This is great and will help me in a few months. I happened upon some while picking berries last Spring, and because I found myself wrist-deep trying to reach the bulbs (which still kept breaking off) I gave up and decided to use the starburst of "garlic" at the top. It was delicious, but tedious to prep.

[@tamara25252]

I found one in the flower bed outside my apartment. I pulled it up but didn't eat because I wasn't sure if it was edible. But I did examine it. I'll be sure to eat it next year. ❤

[@dcfromthev]

Here in Norcal I harvest three cornered garlic all spring, it is so delicious even raw!

[@lilianamontes4444]

your channel is so amazing!!! thank you so much for your videos, i have just started collecting and finding foods in my urban area and your channel is great help!!!

[@starbournehero771]

Just discovered this channel, and it is criminally underpopulated with people!

[@stevenpape8154]

Great videos! I just found your channel and I've already watched half a dozen. All of them are done really well!

[@soybasedjeremy3653]

Even winter isn't the end of foraging, I suggest you watch Learn Your Land. Glad I found this channel.

[@BushcraftingBogan]

I just took some from my yard yesterday and cooked with it this morning. I love this stuff. It is very pungent for its size and I love them in my omelets.

[@nole8923]

The “onion” weeds that you see in people’s yards in the spring and summer is actually a type of garlic. You can smell it when you mow over it.

[@militaryflyboy22]

I just found some of this at my work doing landscaping! I dug up the bulbs and I'm going to replant some in my garden! Very excited

[@blinzy7282]

FYI, I didn't notice any mention of Death Camas and how to identify this. Maybe it isn't in her region, but here is a video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmnZq2p4Zc1_eZo

[@krystalwalters4541]

How wonderful was this video! Super informative, loved it!! Thank you

[@brentjoyner6745]

Very helpful! I picked one of those white flowers today to identify it before seeing this. I have the right stuff now and I'll be cutting and drying some chives tomorrow 😁

[@donnacleary6173]

So helpful. Thanks. Saw this in every lawn when I was in St. Louis this past March. Wondered what it was...

[@scottandrebeccalaird8577]

Found hundreds of them today!

[@catropractor]

I love this video. Thank you!

[@beebop9808]

My yard and flower beds stay full of yard onions all the time. I do make use of them a little. Wish I had some of those Ramps but there's none to be had down here in Ga. and not been able to make the trek back up home in the hills to get any this year. I do miss them, they are addictive.

[@TheDailyDigestion]

Great video!!!

[@russellffnunley]

Great information; thank you for sharing!

[@NYThaiapple]

Thanks for sharing your work and knowledge ❤ This is very informative channel.

[@mistyblue526]

Oh my gosh. As a kid we used to pick onion grass to munch on ,never realizing that they had bulbs.

[@spencerwhitmire9495]

I enjoy the information, but also your editing makes me chuckle sometimes.

[@dlynnmorse]

Thank you this was perfect. ❤

[@rachelwickart275]

It's interesting that wild garlic (Allium vineale) has round, tube-type stems like cultivated onions (Allium cepa), whereas wild onions (Allium canadense) have flat, strap-shaped leaves like cultivated garlic (Allium sativum).

[@johnbayley7330]

Field garlic is everywhere in Arkansas 👍

[@UHJacindaXD]

This use to grow in our ditch and backyard, you could smell it

[@samanthasaysmoon11]

amazing video thank you

[@madmachanicest9955]

these things grow to vary will in north Florida and there easy to harvest because of the sandy ground.

[@Chancey464]

Have both onion & garlic growing right outside my back door. Home built in 1933.

[@madmachanicest9955]

one thing I would like to point out is that wild garlic gets its name from cloves that taste fantastic.

[@ThisIsSolution]

I like this plant... is the star of Bethlehem the only look a like that is danger?

[@gothicdancecrumps9687]

So that was actually a shit ton of garlic chilling in my backyard

[@PlayerTenji95]

Oh, so THAT’s what it’s called! I’ve always thought they were wild onions of the sort?

[@WhoGitDaBiscuit]

Liked, subbed. 👍

[@uni5396.]

“i just weeded that lettuce why is it there garlic”

[@littlecreations351]

H a l p mine had a pungent onion/garlic smell but it lost some smell when i washed it

[@Vance_Porter]

You’ve got awesome videos my wife and I love! Could we bother you for your thoughts on the book Northeast Foraging by Leda Meredith? Have you heard of her as an author/forager?

[@spider1g5]

I munched on these as a kid in East Texas- until my parents told me they were 'poisonus'

[@gnehzeey]

what knowledgeable parents 😂

[@ralph5450]

​@@gnehzeey better safe than sorry. Kids'll eat anything.

[@MattPSU02]

I was hiking at a local nature preserve and came upon a clump of what I thought was wild garlic. I took a bite out of it, to test it, and got a real headache about 15 minutes later. I wonder if I picked up the lookalike star of Bethlehem?

[@MacNCheesin]

Don’t take a bite out of foraged food to test if it’s edible, that’s going to get you hospitalized or killed.

[@kilted777]

Any know a good way to can these? I've got near 3 acres of em'!

[@ralph5450]

Chop em then freeze em.

[@bobbun9630]

This is a pretty annoying lawn weed, but it doesn't seem to persist in my garden like all the nutsedge and johnsongrass! I used to play around with chewing it as a kid, but I find it bitter enough that I would never use it as an alternative to actual garlic.

[@ccccclark2605]

👍✝️❤️🤠🙏

[@btsnn]

Was that minnehaha?

[@RavenMoonChild00]

the ones I've harvested don't smell like garlic or onion but doesn't look at all like the non edible poisonous stuff

[@bobbun9630]

If it doesn't smell like garlic (or onions), don't eat it. There are other toxic plants that also look similar, but the smell is an absolute giveaway.

[@vickiegveg]

Well, you know what they say...when in doubt, eat it and find out anyway. Lol. Kidding.

[@brianthomason5022]

Why do they call it filled garlic if it smells like onion

[@admatai07]

I gift a comment for the algorithm Gods

[@tamibarnette1557]

Haha

[@MrsCynfuller]

Who knew lol, I thought they were wild onions

[@petitjeanriverhomestead]

New Sub. here new channel too.

[@fairyring123]

Or-ni-THO-gal-um

[@snowmiaow]

nasty invasive, ours have little taste

[@Christpickney]

If u place the bottom last inch with the roots in a cup with soil u have it all year round.

[@allycatspreparedlife5313]

Thank you for this info. I just found a bunch of it

[@ctva2719]

I have seen a lot of these wild field garlic in my yard but doubt I should eat them because my neighbors treat their lawn and rain water run off over to my yard.

[@vickiegveg]

Yes, please don't eat that!
