Harvesting and Cooking the Cattail Root

[@goofistmcnutty3280]

Safety Note! I think it's important to mention this. Cattails are natural ecosystem cleaners for rivers other water sources, meaning they soak up pollutants. Do not harvest or eat these around sketchy water sources, it could make you very sick. If you're unsure about how clean the water source around the cattails are, just don't harvest it for consumption. This is a good general rule of thumb for any plant that you may want to harvest for consumption in or around water sources, but especially things like cattails. For Native Americans who used this stuff all the time a few hundred years ago, they didn't need to worry about that so much. These days, you always need to be aware of it.

[@cameronashton6987]

Native Americans have been using the harden roots for decades. We Ojibway call it "Wiikay". Great for colds and other ailments. You clean them, dry them for about a week, then grind them to power, then boil.

[@TheNorthwestForager]

Great information! Thank you for sharing 😁

[@kayagorzan]

Very interesting

[@blazeelvirafirehoof7844]

When you put the powder in water and boil it, what kind of consistancy are we shooting for? Like between a tea and a poridge?

[@DestinyA83]

Only decades? Or did you mean centuries? Not being a smartass I'm really curious if it's something new that they discovered. New things are being found out all the time so ya never know

[@cameronashton6987]

Then, centuries would be a more accurate word. Our people use many, many natural plants and roots for medicinal purposes.

[@MrBottlecapBill]

In a pinch for survival or if you don't have anything to boil them in, you can leave the skin on and just roast them on some coals in the fire. Then cut them open and just eat the insides. I've never tried it but I've heard it's actually sweet when roasted.

[@lanah8678]

You don't have to boil the roots to get out the starchy flour. Just break up the fibers a bit (the more the better), soak it in water, and pour off the water carefully when a bunch of starch has settled on the bottom of the pan. Then dry the resulting flour. It tastes and looks like regular wheat flour. It will not ACT like wheat flour because it has no gluten in it to make things rise, but it can make excellent flat breads or mix half and half with wheat flour to make baked goods you want to rise.

[@mimim.2175]

Pound them with a rock for the best starch leeching :)

[@kionam3360]

I was taught to slice them in half lengthwise, boil and serve with a dipping sauce. To eat them, we pulled through the teeth like an artichoke. No stringy goo in the mouth!

[@ladyofthemasque]

Good to know! I love eating artichoke, which can be quite fibrous, so that technique makes the most sense.

[@naturallynorthwest9748]

At one point he pulled it through his teeth and I was reminded of how to eat artichoke.

[@lynnverleyen426]

love the fact that you show nature and dont speak too much or overpresent. i just got my first cattail shoots and rhizomes out of the freezing water in the northeast yesterday. :)

[@jabohabo3821]

Also a quick tip on extracting the starch from cattail. When raw you can put a decent ammount of good sized rhyzome into a container and pound them into a paste after adding a little water. After squeezing out what's left from the ryzhome you pour it out to dry on a piece of plastic or even a big leaf or leaf woven plate, etc. Once dry, it will be gray and relatively cardboard like. This can absolutely be used as a soup thickener. When roasted on a fire, the flavor is much better. Taste normally can't be helped unfortunately without spices. Certain times of year the still green flower shoots can be stirfried or straight up roasted or used as a pot herb. Good to note you can also use the leaves to make fishing line for small to medium size fish

[@TheNorthwestForager]

@@jabohabo3821 it's truly an incredible yet under appreciated plant!

[@jabohabo3821]

@TheNorthwestForager very much so! Also supposedly the pollen can be used as a relatively protein rich flour additive. Some say flour substitute but it is a very very very hydrophobic substance and should be mixed with less hydrophobic ingredients. Though a word of warning! Any with allergies should avoid it at all costs because I didn't know I had any pollen allergies until I tried this...just saying. And we may be in the same neck of the woods. Western Washington here.

[@bradthunderpants3283]

I dehydrate them, put them in a food processor, and then it basically makes a flour identical to wheat flour but tastes kind of like earthy corn in bread.

[@coolworx]

That's brilliant! Gonna try that.

[@LindasDesk]

I just found you earlier today and I'm really enjoying you and your information. Nice to meet you!

[@TheNorthwestForager]

Hey guys! Thanks for stopping by and for the great questions. Now that I've had time to analyze the experience a bit the few things I'd like to add is: the flavor is more like a mix between starchy potato and corn with a neutral profile, not sweet not bitter and not sour. As some of you already realize this would make a great thickener for a stew and maybe a gravy. The only downside is the fibers but those can be avoided by either eating off the starch and spitting them out or boiling the starch out completely then filtering out the fiber strains. If you have any ideas for uses or more questions please keep them coming!

There were two times in this video where I was disappointed, but within seconds you resolved my concern. The first time was when you tried the raw root and just said "Hm" and seemingly moved on. I was worried that was all you were going to say about it. The second time was when you first tried the cooked root... with added stuff. I was most interested in knowing how it tasted by itself. But then you tried it plain. I appreciate your descriptions and the thoroughness of your taste testing (drinking the water was a great touch).

You have to be careful around agricultural areas. All the fertilizer runoff from fields will cause bacteria and algae to grow rapidly creating more pollutants in the water, which will build up in the roots of cattails.

[@dommyboysmith]

I know this comment was from 4 years ago, but I must ask now, will boiling not eliminate bacteria and contamination? Bacteria yes, but what kind of contamination are we talking about. This is a genuine question, and thanks ahead for any answers ✌️✌️

Glad to see your channel. Born and raised in Western WA. I’ve eaten Cattail roots and my favorite (by far) after removing the outer skin is to slice them thin (max 1/4”) and sauté or better yet fry with steak. They will take on the steak flavor and those pesky fibers won’t bother you.

[@fleendarthemagnificent7372]

It is almost new shoots time of year. I spent last spring and summer grazing on the male pollen spikes with butter. I think I'll try this this spring. A note of caution though. Cattails are water filtering plants and will filter out metals, pesticides and other toxins. Be SURE that the plants you choose are well away from industrial areas, railroad, roads, livestock farms and other areas known for contaminated runoff.

Hi!! great video! I enjoyed cattails at a friends garden party last summer. I also found the cooked cattails to be very nice a little stringy but nice. I was hoping to do some swamp foraging next spring in our new lake as its full of cattails. A word of caution though It is very important not to mistakenly eat an iris, at certain times of the year the iris and cattails are near identical. The iris plant is poisonous. Happy Gardening, Scarlett

[@TheNorthwestForager]

Maybe you'll have a cattail video in the near future?? Excellent point on the iris Scarlett! We have lots of water irises in Oregon too. It's something I neglect to mention mainly because I take the Cattail for granted and just assume the differences between the two plants is obvious. But that would be a poor mistake if one were to accidentally stomach the iris. Sounds like a video idea. Happy Foraging!

Do you think that if you cut the roots up into really tiny pieces, the fibers would be more palatable?

[@TheNorthwestForager]

That would help but you may still end up with little chew balls of fiber. It may be best to slice down the whole length of the cooked rhizome and scrap out the starch with a spoon. This video deserves of a revisit.

[@josephcade3541]

The roots are best used as a binder for making bread from nuts flour because the roots are extremely high in starch. Near the end of the route there's a bulb that can be eaten as you would have potato. But I don't recommend eating the roots raw like you did unless you cook them. You can boil it all the way down to where it becomes a powder of starch you would use an any primative flour that you've processed to make bread

[@ChrisCarnage-jp4fc]

Love it

[@TheOtterOutdoorsman]

Hey Hank! I haven't tried cattail root yet. Mostly because of the areas I could harvest it from were not good harvesting locations. But I have tasked the young shoots leaves and it did taste good. you could definitely use those to help thicken a stew. And also I love the spice kit, that is cool kit! Totally fits in with your kits motif!

[@TheNorthwestForager]

The Otter Outdoorsman You're definitely right about thickening soup! On my drive home I was considering different uses and that was one of them, also for making gravy why not. The spice kit was a nice coincidence, she ordered it around the time we had our chat about spices yet she had no idea we did! It's perfect for the backpack.

[@TheOtterOutdoorsman]

Hmmm, you have the food scientist in me thinking (that's dangerous, in a good way, a delicious way) The issue with adding starches like that for thickening, and why New Englanders like myself hate cornstarch based thickening in chowder (or pronounced when my Boston accent comes out Chowdah), is it can make it slimey. so it needs to be integrated properly. Possibly roasting them first, giving them a rough grind and then simmering them in a low amount of water to may work to produce a psuedo-rue that doesn't cause protein bubbles. but I would have to actually experiment to know. And life is funny like that! you think "hmmm I need something like this" and then either someone gets it for you, or one gets delivered to you. btw, thanks for the shout out.

[@suerine2523]

Cattail is native to New Zealand too. It's called Raupo here. I want to get some established in a pond on our property so that it can become part of our diet. I wonder whether pounding the roots would help to separate out the fibres and make the eating experience more enjoyable? Something to try perhaps. I believe the seedheads can be used as flour too, although I don't know the process.

[@TheNorthwestForager]

Sounds like a fun project adding it to your garden. That's something I'd like to do someday is to have an all native edible garden. I've read about the many different processes for extracting the flour. In this case I though it would be fun to try it the way Harrington explained it in his book, although the pounding of the root fibers makes sense. For the best extraction I think one just needs the patience to boil all the starch out then screen out all the fibers. I'd like to mix that flour with the flower pollen and see what kind of goodie I can come up with!

[@lanah8678]

I've heard to take apart the head and singe the fluff off by heating it in the pan. Then you can more easily separate the fluff remaining and grind the seeds into flour. Drying the seeds first makes it easier to grind.

Pardon me if I missed it, but were you looking for anything in particular when choosing which plants to select? It looked like there were hundreds of them so I'm curious if you just picked ones that were easy to reach or if you had other criteria. On another note, I notice what appear to be licorice ferns in your video at 1:09. Do you have any experience with using those for tea or otherwise? Anyway, thank you for posting this for us.

If the water it grows by is bad, does the effect the taste, or how health the plant is too eat. Allso how long did you boil it for?

Water quality is always a concern. Most aquatic plants will absorb pollutants, so it's best to harvest from a clean water source. I boiled it till it was soft, 10-15min? If you want to extract the startch into the water, however, you'll need to boil it longer till it breaks all the way down.

[@RatandCat]

I bet it would be tasty simmered with some of those herbs. I've been wondering, in a survival situation, what would be the fastest, most nutritient rich food, "go to" food in the winter here in the northwest. I think cattail might be it. What would you say the top choices are?

[@TheNorthwestForager]

That's actually a really good question. Nutrition of course would depend on the individuals needs at different times. Here in the winter time, foods rich in carbohydrates (such as cattail root, wild carrot root, wapato root, burdock root, field mustard root, dandelion root or most other edible roots) would be important for energy to help a person work and stay warm. When it comes to the needs of vitamins and minerals the leaves of stinging nettle, dandelion, bittercress/wild mustards, curly/broadleaf dock will provide vitamin A, C, B, iron, potassium, magnesium to some degree. All the roots and most of these plants can be found all through out the winter time. And there is likely many more plants to add to the winter menu that I have yet to explore.
