Wild Edible and Medicinal Plants in Kentucky

[@jeffausmus8923]

I just wanted to let you know - the plant at 6:16 is actually NOT broadleaf plantain (Plantago major), which BONAP lists as being in Kentucky, but is not super common (or at least does not have many reports). The plant pictured is actually Rugel's Plantain (Plantago rugelii), a native. You can tell by the red margins on the stems - P. major does not have these. Luckily, both are edible!

[@stephensmith3184]

Good job! Can you tell more about red bud as this was the only one that caught me off guard?

[@ethanwilburn4241]

i like wild onion and wild strawberries good stuff

[@stephensmith3184]

Great video, I was born and raised in Boyd County, spent the last 18 in central fl and everything you say touched home with me!!

[@miterbenisdurty3862]

I wanted to try Redbud this year but couldn't find any easy to reach like your tree. Have some wood sorrel and love it. Tons of jewelweed in my yard, and plantain, of course.

[@stephensmith3184]

I agree, I'm not aware of red bud but all other plants mentioned!?!?!?

[@DoinThangsFeelsGood]

Plantain is also edible and medicinal for the insides. The seeds are edible and the husk of the seed is psillium husk!

[@mitchalgreen7244]

white clover in the south can be dangerous. And plantain has tons of uses from burns, cuts, and open sores, boils and acne, throat pain/infection, dandruff and other scalp problems, poisen ivy, oak, sumac, sunburn, kidney and liver functioning etc, to just name a few. All the best and great video.

Mitchal Green white clover ? What does it look like is it white or Easy to identify

[@mitchalgreen7244]

@@NewBornNickumz White clover has white blooms, Red clover has the pinkish red blooms.

[@amberemma6136]

What's wrong with white clover?

[@trevorthecbdreviewer8056]

Love all this information

[@jayanddenissejones6648]

Hey guys! Love your channel! I live in Western Kentucky (McLean Co) and was wondering if you had any "Nature Alliance" classes around me?

[@Wynnieberry]

Pawpaws, serviceberries, mulberries and Mayapples grow here. Wild garlic, carrots and onions, and edible mushrooms like morels, chanterelles, dryads saddle and wood ear. Kentucky has an abundance of delicious and nutritious wild foragable foods. Just make sure you're careful about identification to avoid any toxic lookalikes, like mistaking hemlock for wild carrots.

When i was a kid me n my cousins used to pick and chew wood sorrel for fun because of its taste! I cant describe it but some say sour.

[@robinr.770]

This was very good information. Thank you.

[@tarheelbychoice-lakerforli3720]

I know the lakes have mercury. Is it safe to eat fish caught from creeks and streams, in Kentucky? Thanks.

[@rut3ch]

[@MarcoPolo-yt3ew]

My name is Kenny from northern Kentucky look up the history of biochar for gardening

[@sandralacroix7209]

I loved this and recognized most of these plants! Thank you! Do you have classes?

[@admiral7921]

Would most of these plants be found in the Western Kentucky area? I look to be living off the land for a week in the Reelfoot area.

[@DannyPepprs]

how did you do man?

[@stephensmith3184]

Yes sir!

[@nicholecooperonline]

Awesome

[@waypasthadenough]

Is there anything out there that will repel ticks and turkey mites?

[@NatureReliance]

We have personally not found anything that works consistently. There are a number of things that people have shared with us that may work for them. However, again, we cannot find anything that works well. Believe me, we have tried. Thanks for watching! - Craig Caudill, Director Nature Reliance School

I've heard that only the White Pine with 5 needle per clump is edible.

[@captainrobots1]

I can find half of the plant on the ground in my yard not the trees.

[@sandraschmitt24]

[@sistercarrieofyahuah8601]
