Foraging for Trout Lily - Harvesting Spring Ephemerals

[@kympedicelli6396]

The leaves cook up beautifully in a sauté with butter, the corms roast delectably with oil and salt.

Thanks for the ideas, we will have to try it!

[@kympedicelli6396]

Roots School love your cat by the way! I forgot to mention that we put crushed chilies in the sauté 😋

Great video, I’ll be looking for these! (And beautiful cat!).

Thanks for watching! More coming soon!

*raises hand* I like Trout Lily leaves... :-) That being said, I only eat a few leaves here and there. The corms are delicious, but for convenience, the above-ground runners at the end of the season are my favorite. They have a bean-sprout consistency (nice and crunchy). Have you had those? If so, how does the flavor compare (for you)?

[@ROOTSSchoolVT]

Sarah does't often respond here but she says she likes them almost as much as the corms and way more than the leaves. Thanks for watching!

Great video, we just started foraging and found loads of wild garlic, it was amazing, we even posted a video about it if you get a chance to watch :)

[@ROOTSSchoolVT]

That is awesome!

Do these grow on the East coast? I've never seen these.

[@ROOTSSchoolVT]

We are in Vermont but they are all over the east. www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.prairiemoon.com%2Ferythronium-americanum-yellow-trout-lily-prairie-moon-nursery.html&psig=AOvVaw2YwCSKhdHrfRl2q--EDd9f&ust=1587926794513000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCMD-lrmehOkCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAD

@@ROOTSSchoolVT Thank you, but I guess I'll have to look around more.

@@magoolew5131 i see them growing along swampy river banks , alongside the very noticeable skunk cabbage - right now in fact , just as the lovely lady here said , just before the tree leaves grow , and block out that precious sunlight ... - I'm in maine just tasting the roots and leaves for the 1st time , reminds me of the wild indian cumber root ...

I wish I could teach cats to not kill all the native fauna.
