36 Wild Edibles & Medicinal Plants In 15 Minutes

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

This video contains a mistake on wild lettuce. IT DOES NOT CONTAIN OPIATES. This mistake was made by my using outdated information, and has been corrected in newer videos talking about this plant. I sincerely apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

[@evelynfussell174]

It would be great if you’d use the plant names though out your info. We aren’t always keyed in to hear until we hear what their uses are; we keep listening hoping you will repeat the names. Saying “this plant” is not quite as helpful as saying the name repetively as we learn by repetition. Thanks!

You missed a plant it's the one with the purple/brown spear head on its leaf facing the top

Be careful with wild carrots, they can look very similar to poison hemlock to the untrained eyes.

[@anamolly6142]

I read the queen annes lace (wild carrot) has a purple dot on its crown

[@chomama1628]

They also smells like carrots when you pull it up by the root.

[@iridescentaurora268]

Poison hemlock has red spots on the stem

[@nickw3657]

Hemlock flowers look similar but they grow in sparatic clusters versus a semi rounded top of flowers...plus Wild Carrot has a Purple/Red Dot in the center.

[@susanrolstad9338]

Wow I thought they were the same. Thanks for the insight.

[@divinehammer1669]

Don' forget to warn people about dangerous lookalikes! Like Poisonous Hemlock! Sometimes mistaken for wild carrot or yarrow.

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

I have a whole video about those look a likes on my channel.

[@kidgamer7172]

But they don't look alike at all

[@h.aritchie7717]

Thank you . My first look is he sure queen anne's lace or hemlock. I sure hope others read your comment.

[@wakingrose1956]

At first glance the bloom of the hemlock and queen Anne's lace do look alike. If you dont know what to look for it could be mistaken. Ex. Fury stem, tiny purple flower in the middle and the tiny spiked stems that lay around right below the bloom all signs for the Queen. Bare stem, purple blotches on stem for hemlock. Hemlock grows much taller than queen Anne's lace. So yes when in doubt dont mess with them. Always be informed before eating any plant. There is no known antidote for the toxins produced by hemlock. This plant can lead to renal failure, respiratory failure even death

[@jodielynne3687]

I sure wish that you would make a video about these wild herbs, I trust you. Thank you for speaking out. Iam trying to learn what is safe to harvest for ingestion

[@stevepenney2073]

Ive been harvesting and studying wild plants for 50 years.This is absolutely excellent quick study vid on various wild plants.

[@elevans5758]

It is not excellent, as it is much too fast and general for people to follow.

[@redfernfarm8606]

Very good enthusiasm, but it would have been better to spend more time with the plants. It's not helpful to folks to point at a plant and say it is edible without explaining what part is good to eat or cautions on the time of year to harvest. For example you gave no warnings about the toxins in Jack-in-the-Pulpit. I'm glad you enjoy the wild edibles and that you are spreading the fun we can all have with them. It is important that we all provide accurate information. - Kathy D.

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Like I've said before on this video to other commenters, this videos purpose was to show the number of plants that are available, and not for specific uses of them. On the videos I do that are specific to a plant I cover that kind of info. Thank you for the feedback and comment Red Fern Farm!

[@Mark_Nadams]

I was worried about noobs recklessly foraging because of the lack of info on poison lookalike plants like hemlock and the queen anne's lace shown, or as you point out choosing the wrong part of the plant to consume. The only warning was of mosquitoes.

It's not all on him. Don't put pressure on him. We, as foragers, should learn about plants and their benefits in differenr books, video etc. Not just from one video. It's not his obligation to teach you everything you need to know. That's on you.

[@garland978]

Indiana seems to be one of the most prolific areas for wild plants for food and medicine. I am sure there are many of them here in New England that I have not had a chance to encounter. Thank you for this quick overview of the wonderful plants the Lord has created for our use.

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

I don't know about Indiana being the most prolific, most places in the United States are jam packed full of wild edibles and medicinal plants. However the species and varieties may change or be completely different, New England is rather rich in edible and medicinal plants, however there is kind of a trade off in the sense that some plants I might have you might not have up there and vice versa. Indiana does have a lot of varied habitats in small areas and in other parts of the country growth patterns of the same plant might be different. Just look around and be resourceful, Google Earth is also a great place to look for the right kinds of habitats also! You're very welcome, and thanks for commenting Garland!

Yes. Strawberry leaf especially

[@jeanbarraza5433]

Strawberry leaves must be used completely dry or extremely fresh. Wilted strawberry leaves are toxic due to a change in chemical compound while in between fresh and drying stages. Consumption of tea made from wilted strawberry leaves can cause vomiting and uncomfortable nausea.

A note about jewelweed, this plant really shines as a treatment for nettle stings and in my area they grow in the same habitat. My story, I got a pretty good nettle sting by accidentally grabbing one. It was hurting pretty bad, ruining my day, and I remembered about jewelweed. I only had to look for 5 mins and I found some plants. What you want is the juice, so I took a handful of leaves and rolled them between my hands, really beating it up. Once it started to feel wet from the juice, I put it on the nettle sting. I did not expect this to work as well as it did, almost immediately I felt the pain subsiding. I kept working the leaves, rolling them, and tearing at them, getting more juice and applying it, and unbelievably it nearly cured my sting, afterwards, all that was left of the pain was a slight tenderness to the skin, almost nothing. I don't think I'd use it for poison ivy, since that's an oil, best thing is dawn dish soap, maybe after that it might help. But it works like magic on a nettle sting

What fun! Here in Florida we have a similar green briar, called cat briar. They are a butterfly host plant. You eat the newly grown tips, taste like asparagus. You can use the root ball to make root beer. Also our plantains have no leaves, but are little short lumpy "fingers", maybe 5" long, covered with tiny nodules (seeds?)...I'll have to check on edibility. You showed cat tails---are they edible? Thanks, highly enjoyable, very clear well made video. Well done!

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Thanks worm wood glad you liked it! You might check out Greene Deans website if you haven't already, he lives in Florida and might have covered the plantains you have down there. Oh yeah the cattails are edible there are at least 1 part that is edible at any given time of the year. The young shoots can be peeled and eaten, the root can be roasted and then eaten, avoid eating the stringy part, the root can be made into a flour, the immature flower spike of male cattails can be cooked and eaten like a corn on the cob, and the mature spikes releasing pollen can be used as a flour too. Just a quick rundown but I hope it helps a bit. Thanks for asking and commenting!

That is an amazing amount of knowledge there. Thanks for sharing. Only think that could use a little help is speed and zoom. There was some very fast talking at times and plants I really wanted to see, but wasn't sure which one of what was shown was the plant. Over all great though. Thanks!!!

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

My hands were, for the most part, on every plant I was talking about or I was pointing at it. There may have been a few points where I did not. I might have some other videos on the plants you want to know about on the channel. If not I can always tell you what I know, and don't know about any plant in the video. It does move really fast, but these are clips from older videos that I condensed down for this video. In each one of these I move pretty fast as well, because the point of them was to emphasize how much is available that we walk right by and don't notice. I have tried to improve the speed of speech and making clear what I'm talking about in my newer videos filmed with my DSLR, instead of a camcorder. Like all of these clips were. The camcorder keeps a lot in focus where as the DSLR blur helps keep the subject or plant in focus. My apologies for a long response but I hope that helps and thanks for the feedback Dagmar!

Were do you forage for wild edibles trails someone's land? Can you also show us how to use certain plants medicinally. Did you learn everything you know about wild edibles or medicinals from just books because you go in depth. Maybe a video on wild teas. Good video

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

I forage a multitude of places, really it just depends on what I'm foraging and the legalities and rules that I have to abide by where I'm foraging. State Forests and local parks have different rules than private land, and only certain things can be gathered. This video for example was actually filmed in three different spots, private land, state forest land, and a local park. My preferred foraging habitat, if you will for myself is my yard, or far off trail and miles from any road or recent human interference but often times what I gather is from one of the three places mentioned above. I will work on adding more plants and how to use medicinally, however usually when I need to use them the last thing on my mind is filming it, though I'm working on that! lol. I learned by experience, books, and videos. mother Nature has been my teacher and for close to 5 years I only had two books on the subject and KZbin. MiWilderness channel and his older videos, along with NativeSurvival, wildernessoutfitters, etc. are where I picked other things up. It's just important to try out each thing you see for yourself to gain experience. Plus when you spend close to 40 hours a week in the woods it's easy to gain experience. I will work on doing more videos on wild teas, out in the wild too! Thanks for commenting and asking AmateurChemist I hope that answered your questions, if you have any more don't be afraid to ask!

You are Awesome and this was an Awesome Video!...Thanks for sharing so much knowledge...however I do not even know where to begin in remembering all of that so I was wondering if you have ever considered writing a Book or Guide with Great Pictures that people can take out in the woods to Scout out Wild Edibles!...Your video's are Amazing and I know a book by you would be just as amazing!...Just an Idea!...Peace Love and "LIGHT" 2U!...

Wild lettuce does not contain opiates! It has an opiod effect in larger doses, but does not require boiling like poke salat. It is not poisonous if taken appropriately. Always refer to several texts and knowledgeable wild foragers before ingesting any wild plants that you do not know. You may find that some wild medicinals and edibles should not be eaten/taken with some medications also. Educate yourself before running out to gather and use these plants!

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

You're right, I did not know that at the time of filming this video, but I have corrected this mistake in a couple newer videos. Thank you for commenting!

Definitely be aware of other vitamin or plants... passion flowers and Encinitas are not compatible with benzos (anxiety meds) or metroprolol( beta blocker for heart rhythm)

Most of these are in my backyard time for a snack

[@jeannieg8471]

You are such a wealth of knowledge and I love the way you put out the information ... also much thanks for the useful links below; ;D

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Absolutely Jeannie, you're very welcome and thank you!

awesome videooo!!!🌾

[@LRBaquatics]

Great informative video, especially since it sounds like you are finding these plants in Indiana? Which many look familiar to me. Ive always had a fascination with this and trying to expand my knowledge of whats around me. Still really new to it though and will have to look through your vids.

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Yep, all in Indiana, all my vids are. Well except for the one in the smoky mountains anyway.

[@LRBaquatics]

Trillium: Wild Edibles Nice, that will be helpful for me then. I live in Indy now but used to live in Fountain County which is mostly all central Indiana. Do you have any mushroom videos where you id and do spore prints? I have found a couple vids of where you found some walking but none really mushroom directed, granted I haven't been through all your vids since I just found your channel last night.

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

I have a video on doing spore prints and how to do them, I didn't I.D. the mushroom in the video as it was one I still wasn't sure of at the time but the process of spore printing is covered in it. The video is here if you're interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGqmamx-fdxse9k

[@deborahhanna6640]

What area of Indiana? Are you in Hoosier National or private land? Do you do nature style hikes?

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

I'm in the central portion of the state in between Bloomington and Indianapolis. I do nature hikes and foraging classes. The info can be found on my website if you are interested. www.trilliumwildedibles.com/

[@dawnmorning]

Great video again.

[@susansarver4554]

I've hear of Sorrel Soup. Know how , too. I'm so allergic to poison ivy. My Grandfather always said quinine is good for sinus trouble.

[@BoJo5066]

Did I hear you say that you were in indiana when showing these plants on this video? If so was it northern or southern indiana because that makes a bit of a differance but not much. Im in northern indiana. Your voice is very familiar. I listen to youtube on headphones as I putter about the house doing chores. I am familiar with many of those herbs and wild edibles. When I can I'll rewatch this video when I can sit down and see the screen all of the time verses in just sperts. My great-grandmother taught my grandpa the ways of herbs and about what we now call wild foods but to them back then it was normal vegetables. My Grandpa taught my Dad,. My Dad taught me and I taught my daughters. My great grandmother was taught by her Native tribe. The blessing is that my kids and I have the Internet to learn more about the plants. I love it. Thank you so much for helping me learn more about the plants :)
