Sego Lily: The Wild Edible Plant that Saved the Mormons

[@sammyjo8109]

I first heard of eating Sego lilies while reading Louis L'Amour westerns. He often mentions edible plants such as Squaw Cabbage, Wild onions, etc. I came upon this video researching the plants he mentions. Very well done video.

[@pchris6662]

How cool. My grandmother always loved to see the Sego Lilly’s blooming. I had no idea they were edible or their history! Thanks for taking the time and teaching us!

So happy to have stumbled across your channel. I grew up in Southern Utah and now live in Colorado. I enjoy being able to identify different species of plants when I'm out enjoying the outdoors. Thanks for the great videos.

[@tawnia6950]

I have been eating sego lilies since I was little, they grow everywhere in nor Idaho.

[@StarBeamSocial]

Great stuff - though audio levels could be a bit higher.

[@rockymountainedibles3593]

Many of our future videos have improved sound, we’re working on this piece. Thanks for watching.

[@makeitkate3240]

These grow wild on my homestead in central Utah. They’re beautiful.

[@twebster1948]

The scenery at this location is beautiful; as it is with many regions of the southwest. Thank you for another excellent and very instructional video. We are excited to view your next episode.

I'm in NE Arizona and there's a short white flower that looks like a dogwood blossom here. I know few of the edibles here being from the east coast. I only know of Mormon tea, Lambs quarters, Globe Mellow and of course the Juniper berries.

[@edieboudreau9637]

There's a warning on that. Please check the other comments with this one. If you thumbs up the comment we will know you received the warning that may save your life.

[@artbyadrienne6812]

@BroadSide Thanks for the warning. These have tiny little flowers on the end of a twiggy looking bush. I have taken some pictures of them, but haven't even touched them. They are many on my property.

[@artbyadrienne6812]

@BroadSide Wow, if she was that familiar with it and still got poisoned, I think I will stick with the chamomile and green tea. Thanks for the heads up. I learned recently that there is a poisonous look alike to the wild onion. God bless and stay safe.

THANK YOU for this video! (all of them are great so far) I just found this flower for the first time in the canyon here in the Owyhees and found it just stunning in beauty. Ghostly as it began to dot the hillside. Cool to learn more about it.

[@rockymountainedibles3593]

Glad you found it, thanks for watching!

This is good information and a history lesson too. Thank you for sharing!🙏🏼

It’s such a beautiful flower and they are becoming more rare 🌿❤️ thank you

[@jameswright9284]

I wonder if they harvested the crickets...

[@dylan.adventures]

Great video

[@hitindahead]

Great info!

[@BryanKirch]

I’m looking at a 30 acre property in the Sonoran desert. Instead of a traditional garden I’d like to repopulate the land with native perennial edibles. How would you suggest I go about something like that?

[@xapriliztheshizzlex]

Just grab seeds and start spreading!

[@SB-xh8gy]

Thank you

[@josephbenton3471]

Do you offer any classes or walk abouts in the field in you area?

[@BCVS777]

Excellent!

[@thehazelnutspread]

Please increase volume. I had to max it out and still had trouble hearing you.

[@rockymountainedibles3593]

Thanks for the important feedback! I failed to edit the video in such a way that the volume would be adequate. I think I have corrected the issue in my more recent videos. Maybe consider checking out my survival plant videos in Arizona and Utah. I believe the volume should be just about perfect.

It's beautiful desert land.. I never seen desert in real life🥺

Wow

[@Leyahlove1111]

Let's start calling it the Sacajawea, Lewis and Clark expedition. We are better than propaganda. Sacajawea actually SAVED the expedition multiple times, all of them would have died without Sacajawea so she definitely deserves to be named as a leader of the expedition. As she was the main reason the expedition survived and was able to navigate across the USA.

[@gator83261]

The leader, of the expedition.

[@gator83261]

@@mainemermaid6596 What is “wrong” (with an exclamation mark even)? Leyah Love’s comment? That’s your opinion, ok, I’m not going to argue that point.

[@foxmulder7616]

Have you ever collected seeds and spread them around? I like to do that with lots of plants. Especially food/medicine.

[@rockymountainedibles3593]

Yes I have. A few times it has been a success. Thanks for watching.

[@VTPSTTU]

I hope I someday come across one of these when I have my camera.

[@rockymountainedibles3593]

I hope you do too.😊. Thanks for watching.

Really for why?

[@DesserTray5]

I hope anyone in Utah knows to pick or eat these is a federal offense

[@rockymountainedibles3593]

Thanks for watching and for sharing your concern. The last I checked on the regulations it is not illegal.
