Urban Foraging

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks for watching, subscribe for more plant and mushroom ID videos kzbin.info

[@AlexWindsor]

My take on urban foraging is pinching bay leaves from people's front gardens when I need it for a recipe

[@AlissaSss23]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I did that a couple of times with rosemary

[@schnauzpig]

Thank you for all your hard work and research, this channel deserves to be far more popular!

[@Richard-yp1dd]

I always enjoy watching channels with less subscribers, makes me feel special LOL! But yes he definitely deserves more subscribers

[@wolfenstein6676]

I agree, this is one of the best channels on KZbin when it comes to learning about wild food, medicine and foraging in general.

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks 😁. I’m getting there haha. Still only been doing it for 2 years. My channel is definitely getting more views in the last few months though

[@Barziboy]

This is just the video I've been after! I made the somewhat regrettable decision to move back up to London this year and have already clocked the sumac and honeysuckle. Great vid! ✌️❤️

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks mate 😁

Yes you're maaad - I can't wait to escape in a few years time

Fantastic video UK wildcrafts. I'm in Dundee Scotland. The rosehips use to be abundant around here. We use to call them itchycoo's as a youngster. Friends... would often stick them down the backs of other friends for a joke as they itched lol. I didn't realise you could eat them, very interesting. Great channel by the way.

[@wolfenstein6676]

The same in Glasgow, during the summer you'd get the predictable 'itchycoo attack' on the way to and from school :) .

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Yeah we used to use them in school too 😁

[@wolfenstein6676]

​@Painting From Scratch Aye, good days, lads, itchycooed or not :) .

[@Eueueyw]

I find it’s way easier to just cook rosehips whole and then filter out the hairs and seeds with a cheesecloth. Very occasionally one or two hairs make it through but I prefer that over having to hollow out each one tbh.

[@silviamagda]

Yes! I just did that today. It's way easier.

[@tonydeltablues]

Alright my lover! Your Google map view was right over where I live! I shall be using it to find greenery. Cheers Tony (Bishopston)

Thanks for taking is along! Learnt some and i dig your energy mate 👍🏻

Cheers mate :)

Hazelnuts ripen at home?? I wish I’d known that a few years ago. The squirrels always beat me to the ripe nuts on the tree.

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Yes they do, but don’t pick them too early. It’s a constant battle to beat them squirrels 😆

[@christinehodge3608]

Recipe of Hazel and chocolate sounds nice

[@melissalambert7615]

Nice video. I have seed fennel, roses and hazelnuts (neighbor's tree). I never get any hazelnuts. Jays and squirrels love them.

[@andrewbass1985]

I have not come across Sumac where I live perhaps I'm a little bit to rural. Also the squirrels always get to the hazal nuts before I get a chance to harvest them.

[@geoffmead9081]

Thanks. Really informative and your videos have changed my urban walks.

[@tal1989]

What a legend, I love your videos

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Cheers 😁

[@chrisscott8757]

Got the rose things all over where i live. Used to call them itchybombs 😂😅 Good to know they are edible too.

[@paultoner8789]

You ahave a great knowledge of foraging, and you videos are very informative. Keep up the great work.Thank you

Fantastic, never seen sumac before, I'm from the Midlands so maybe we don't have any. I love your videos, they're so informative, thanks you

Thanks 😊

[@nadiakalakeche3171]

I love somak this spice is so good on salt on kabab and you can use it on so many foods

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Yes can imagine it’s good with a kebab

[@AlissaSss23]

It's great over salads

[@JarinUdom]

It’s kind of funny how universal fennel is, you can walk around San Diego or LA and see it growing in every parking lot

[@cherylwilsherlimberlife7210]

You would be so much fun on a walk

[@patdeletfan2662]

really good thank you did not knew the first plant

[@istandforfreedom1111]

Great video thank you 😊 wish you were nearby and did workshops/ foraging walks.. my kids and I would love that as part of our home Ed.

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks 😊. I will do workshops and courses one day

[@istandforfreedom1111]

@@UKWILDCRAFTS awesome.. let us all know when you do. We are east Midlands right now so would love coastal foraging aswell. You skill set and knowledge is essential to share with especially the younger ones now. Thanks for your reply. Good luck on your journey. 🙏🏼

[@danyoutube7491]

I wish the sumac and that honeysuckle were growing near me, they sound particularly lovely. There are some very small hazel trees that were planted in a public space near me, but I am unsure whether they are meant for public consumption. I have a young hazel tree in the garden but haven't seen any catkins on it yet.

[@adiem1653]

I was in Peckham a few weeks ago and picked a few dandelion heads to eat from an enclosed area ie no dogs etc my colleague said wtf was I doing - told him dandelion flowers are extremely nutrious - he thought I was mental lol Again the hazelnuts - there's a tree in middle of Peckham surrounded by houses and yet squirrels get to them straight away - unbelievable 😳

[@captainkenno]

Great video and thanks for sharing 👍

[@lilis8243]

Great video, didn't know you could ripen hazle nuts at home. I am in Bristol too but haven't seen any sumac - can you tell me where I can find some?

[@axelthorn2263]

Hi Just came across your video through his interesting and just wondering if anyone else is discovering that there are less hazelnuts this year😊

[@sniffywhiffy2452]

When I thought ‘urban foraging’ I just thought ‘shop lifting’. How wrong I was.

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

[@anonymous-or3uk]

Great video 👍

[@AlissaSss23]

Are you worried at all about those Sumac plants being so close to the road/ traffic?

[@ronmacdougall9612]

I’ve made up some good sumac juice

Legend

[@donnyskinglongliveme]

Hello Mr wildcrafts. Are there any fieldguide books you recommend for hedgerow foraging and tree identification?

[@guitarnotator]

Have you ever come accross Bay Laurel?

[@silviamagda]

I don't know about him, but I did. I live in Spain and here there is an abundance of those trees. I never buy the leaves from the store.

[@guitarnotator]

No I don't think they do grow wild but people do plant them in there garden. Why do you never buy in store? for me I don't buy plants unless they have at least 1 botanical relevant species that growsa here in the UK.@@silviamagda

[@silviamagda]

@@guitarnotator the trees of laurel here in spain are in the streets, mountains, woodlands. Everywhere. That's why i don't buy them from the store. They're fresh and tastier than the ones from the store. Why should i buy them? I have access to so many, i can't even use that much. I even sent fresh laurel leaves to friends and family.

[@guitarnotator]

Maybe I will move to spain then i'm a bit fed up with the UK right now.@@silviamagda

[@anamokena-nicol4247]

Sumac leaves is opposite not alternate...

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Hi, no they are alternate
