Wild Food Foraging- Cattail- Veggie Pasta

In this episode, I identify the cattail plant, harvest the cattail shoots, and cook them. Their consistency is like that of an udon noodle. Could this be the next kind of vegetable pasta?
*Post-release update: In some states of the US, and in several other nations around the world, it is illegal to harvest cattail. Make sure to refer to your local laws first before picking cattails for yourself.

I've personally used it in all those ways, and can attest to it's efficacy.

I've made a point of acquiring knowledge about wild edibles and a habit of snacking on them over the course of my life. The only part of the cattail I have ever tried is the pollen (which can be gathered by hand from above the seed cluster from mid spring to midsummer). The pollen is at the very top of my favorite wild edibles list. In season, it is truly stellar! Even a little past season, it is still good. It has a sort of nutty flavor with exotic hints and highlights; truly unique. Also, in all the information I have acquired on this plant (almost every part is edible if prepared correctly), I have never had anyone or any source mention the usefulness of the slime or point out the need for caution regarding where it is harvested. Thank you so much for this new knowledge!

[@RabidLeroy]

Cattails being the pond leek: confirmed. Cattail cuisine would be popularised if they were grown as a crop (with no hassle of having to pick wild cattails and run afoul of the law), like rice paddies. Also the roles of cattails as cleaners would probably mean having to plant more and more, if the seeds are easily harvested, or not.

[@aleksandramakari]

That would be cool. Nice starchy roots. So getting the rice is illegal or something? Or getting the cattails? If it's on public property or something right? Private would be fine though.

Why would the law care? You can find cattails everywhere, including public areas like lakes, ponds, etc. I work around canals, I know nobody would mind someone picking them.

Every part of the cat tail is edible. In the spring, the young shoots are amazing greens, when they fruit, the 'cob' part can be fried and eaten while young. Or you can wait till it grows colder and beat it into flour. The deep tuber can be peeled and boiled in deepest winter and is almost starchyish. The way he is showing is just using a tiny part of a year round almost wholly edible plant. The only part ever inedible are the old leaves... which are great for baskets, and even yield fairly long plant fibers when properly prepared if you have a talent for spinning.

[@rockoyhead]

@@saradanhoff6539 why does everybody make baskets from fibre they can be used for so much more.

[@rens1030]

I love cattail! The pollen for enriching pancake flour, The unripe, green, cattails for stirfrying like corncob or scraped from the stem, the dried leaves for crafting projects: baskets, rope, little boats Love that there remains more to explore with this species!

[@darrenrenton3842]

Their called Bullrush here in Australia. Aboriginal people have been eating them for thousands of years. Try crushing the base into a mash then (keeping the starch in it) mix in the actual flowers (the catail after removing from the stalk. The fluffy bits that is) mix together for an awsome veggie patty. Then cook on a hot plate over the fire. Nutritious and tastes great.

[@broderickelliott8527]

Interesting. North American Natives sometimes roasted the immature seeds and ate them like corn on the cob. I never heard of a way to eat the mature phase of the seeds. Worth a try. Having once chewed mature Cattail fluff into a paste to try and lure ducks closer to me, I figure there's no way a person is gonna get them down without some sort of preparation.

[@benpayne2836]

darren renton is it exactly the same though?

[@darrenrenton3842]

Ben Payne Yes i believe so. They look exactly the same. However preparing them this way you use a lot more of the tender part the base than the flower / fluffy part. Its also better to use the flower while young. Not to old as they tend to collect alot of dust and other contaminants. A rough ratio would be about 3-4 plant tenders to half a flower. But it depends on the yield. Sort of trial and error for your own personal taste i suppose.

[@darrenrenton3842]

Broderick Elliott I agree they would be definitely hard to swallow. But preparation is the key. Off the topic aboriginal people found a way to eat cycad nuts which are highly toxic and will kill a person. The way they do it is to crush and pound them into a past then rinse in water more times than you could imagine. Not sure I'd like to try it. But it all comes down to the preparation. (You can find documentarys about cycads on the internet for further information) Didn't know you could roast the immature seeds though might have to try that. Thanks

I believe that in at least one U.S.A. state cattails are endangered and might be on a protected list. So make sure to look up your local regulations. Of course in a survival situation these rules are put aside.

[@jeanettewaverly2590]

Interesting! I've never eaten cattails, but, when I was living in the American Southwest, years ago, I heard that some native peoples there used the pollen like flour to make a kind of bread. Thanks for another great wild edible video!

[@mindsetoverhaul]

Here in Australia and in New Zealand too. It's incredibly bland though *i mean the bread

[@pythiasibyls6269]

Yep. You can also take the old roots that are too tough to eat and pound them to extract the starch and use that as a flour.

I absolutely LOVE the idea of foraging and using the goods to cook my own meals, but I'm very young, so I obviously don't have the means to go out and do it myself, nor the permissions.

[@kylaluv8453]

exroyalcanadian there are tons of them where I grew up and while out playing us kids would pick the younger plant, peel off the outer skin, and then eat the white part of the stalk. Then go back to playing. We knew were all the wild berry bushes were and honeysuckle plants. Maybe cause he picked an older one, but he stripped off a lot of plant.

I ate it once when I was a kid.They grew on a patch of soil that used to be a small lake but it dried up and I guess the soil was still wet enough for cattails to grow.I picked one from the ground and saw that I could peel the stalk.I peeled it until a tiny piece of the stalk was left.I ate the tiny piece and it tasted similar to a cucumber.I had no idea that they were actually edible.
