Foraging in a Nutshell - Some of the Best Wild Foods of Michigan

[@tammygreen5859]

By far, the best, most informative Michigan foraging video available!

[@stacyrosa6672]

Absolutely the best Foraging video for Michigan area I've ever seen. I've been foraging for a few years, and my daughter has just started her own foraging journey, with my two young grandsons. I was so happy to share this with her ❤

[@chadbarkway3073]

I enjoyed this so much. Thank you for doing this so well. I can’t wait for spring more than ever.

[@northcountryvans]

Thank you for such an in-depth tutorial

[@plutobrutusii993]

Thank You!!!🌱🌿🌲❤

[@lizz2040]

Very enjoyable and easy to retain thank you

[@mlentz1975]

Very well done 👍🏼 I know you couldn’t get in depth but as a new forager, this was a great introduction, especially, by the season 👍🏼

[@gafairbanks2434]

Good post. Most fail to realize that if their bodies are highly in need of detoxification, yes they will experience side effects. Creator didn't put us here without the food/ medicinal forage we need . May be my opinion only but found it to be quite true.

[@dtruman123]

This was the best video i have seen so far

[@SeeStuDo]

Fabulous. This was a full on class course , thank you.

[@jonathanmoore8325]

This is amazing video! Thank you

[@awildplantlady]

Wonderful info! I’m so glad that I heard about this video from the conservation district up here in Lake County. ✌🏻💕🌿

[@kevin_upton]

Thank you so much for this amazing content. Your presentation and information is braided together seamlessly and a pleasure to learn from. Thank you.

Try a black walnut jam. It's harvested before it's ripe, and processed with water to remove bitter taste. Than boiled with sugar and cloves to make incredibly tasty jam.

[@Gitgudm9]

Informative, thorough, and direct - this is an absolutely fabulous video!

[@s.s.9755]

This is such an informative video and so well put together. Thank you so much for the work you've put into this.

[@catherinetrinh3260]

I suspect that this video has attracted many people like me who want to forage but are afraid that we will poison our loved ones and/or ourselves. Somehow the sequencing was done in such a way that confidence was built. I wonder if many foraged food like mushrooms are for the advanced foragers classes.

[@FunghiJacob]

Great compilation of footage Sir! Beautiful Information! Ive had to take into account the oxalate content of wild food over the years. So not everything is optimal for us kidney stone formers and others with gout complications. But hey, I like learning and the wild loves teaching. Thank you!

[@aprilmaemae2]

[@CraftyHandpaner]

Thank you so much for generously and kindly sharing your knowledge. I came across this video 9/29/24 and I will indeed be foraging 9/29/24…😊

Great video

[@stacyrosa6672]

Ive never heard ANYONE say that Asparagus is NOT one of the mor palatable wild foraged plants! Hunting wild Asparagus is one of my favorite spring past times here in Michigan. Ive been riding around the back roads collecting this delicious and beautiful bounty for 50 years❤

[@CynthiaFreeman-im5xs]

I love asparagus!!

[@sammyjean2941]

Very informative. I learned SO much from this. Thank you.

[@wajlamo]

I gew up around Hemlock. I used to play in it as a kid. We used to pretend smoke with it. Wrestle around in it. Lol. I never knew it was poisonous till I was older.

[@GrandmomZoo]

Thank u

[@Turtsiepie727]

What if the tree seems sick? Would it still be edible. I ask this as I look at our pine in the backyard. It does not have many needles on half of it. I would be interested to know this information. Thank you for making this information available! This is a very informative video. I plan on using this as a part of my homeschooling! ♥️

[@foragerphillips]

Anything that looks unhealthy is definitely not edible. I believe it would be best to seek other trees and let the one you mentioned recuperate. Droughts, bark beetles, and various diseases can turn needles brown. If trees are merely a bit stressed from drought, I believe the healthier, more vibrant parts would still be safe to eat. However, droughts can make trees more susceptible to diseases, and if any part of a tree looks infected then definitely don't gather anything from that tree. Likewise with shrubs, plants, and especially grasses. When foraging, it's always best to stay on the safe side. My website has a lot more information. There's a link below the video.

[@treebeard840]

Pickled asparagus if you like that sort of thing, maybe with some mustards?

[@larrya7822]

Maybe you can help me ? I was out on a vacant lot long a wooded area. I came across a plant that had string beans on them, but the stems was flat and had a vain in the middle and vine like. I don't think string bean plants have flat stems ? So what could it be (I live in South East Michigan) ?

[@foragerphillips]

Possibly something in the Lathyrus genus, like the everlasting pea (L. latifolius), but I would need more details. Vines producing string beans could suggest the legume family (Fabaceae), and a few species of Lathyrus with flat/winged stems can grow in vacant lots. Try the michiganflora.net website. On the search page, you can set the physiognomy checkboxes to "vines" and that will list every vine in Michigan. I hope that helps.

[@larrya7822]

@@foragerphillips Thanks, what you said helped me, I identified it as wild sweet pea. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGWYn2x4j8qCqLc

[@GrampyCampy]

New family member came from my channel to support yours, great video sir blessings 📫🤗💕👴🦌🙏🏡🍀

[@vahagnmelikyan2906]

Can I boil the bark from pine tree inn a water? I think that will be a tasty tee

[@JafoolyPorchers]

KZbin likes u! They suggested u next! Here we go!

[@ldocken8]

Very good video, though to add, the American nettle, or wood nettle, is not only edible, but verymuch like spinach and just as nutritious as the other but more mild in taste. be more careful with the stinging part though because it is definitely worse, but the payoff is worth it.

[@foragerphillips]

Thank you for the good word. I agree with everything you said about American/wood nettle. The updated video will include that species. I just processed a batch of the leaves and will do a few more batches. All the processing methods, even dehydration, had good results.

[@wendyeames5758]

The edibility test shouldn't be used for mushrooms. There are some deadly ones you wont know have harmed you more than 1/2 day later.

[@vahagnmelikyan2906]

One thing is for sure this person won't be getting any cancer 😀
