Wild Edibles with Sergei Boutenko | 14+ Berries Foraged in the Pacific Northwest 🍓

[@Ellemenopea97]

As an Oregon native who grew up with a deep love for all of these wild berries, this video made me so happy and brought me a little piece of home. 💜

[@topcheese4541]

Red huckles, thimble & salmon berries are my favorites 🤗

[@bryce4359]

100% agree

[@johnmontgomery9100]

I grew up in Oregon. This brings back great memories of being a kid going into the woods with my friends in Summer time and feeding ourselves with all this good stuff.

[@cosettelewallen4281]

You can American elderberry raw because AMERICAN elderberry has officially been deemed cyanide free unlike the native elderberries in other countries.

[@mairaa9184]

Wow. This is great! I love this kind of video...foraging food in the forest. And they are everywhere.... Good info.

[@eetswarangas2961]

GET IN THERE!

[@bryce4359]

That mystery berry looked a lot like henbane, which is related to deadly nightshade

[@YuriyTrebushnoy]

I’ve actually stumbled on one of your videos not to long ago and it got me interested in foraging and just saw your post in WHC page, keep it up!

[@BoutenkoFilms]

Thank you sir! I will.

[@lordtachanka80]

(Displays foraging safety).. *Eats a handful of berries* "Oh actually those were gooseberries" ?!? Like you didn't know what they were before you ate them? 🤔😂

[@alexgaiani2724]

I'm so happy someone else noticed

[@Chopped93VX]

To be fair, goose berries bear simular aspects to red currants if I'm not mistaken. I'm not a wild edible professional identifier or whatever you want to call it. But I am an oregon native and have seen both goose berries and red currants.

[@lordtachanka80]

@@Chopped93VX yes, when fully ripe, red gooseberries look fairly similar, the biggest difference to me is that the curents look more jelly-like and the gooseberries tend to have a shiny skin making them not as translucent. But to be honest if I were out foraging, I could have mixed them up too.

[@PorcheGardener]

10 minute mark: twinberry, great bird food, not edible

[@connectingseas7173]

Really? Thats very important to know! Not edible? Thank you.

[@bioalchemist]

Rubus occidentalis grows on the East Coast, Here we get Rubus leucodermis, asia has Rubus niveus. All of those are called black raspberries thats why I try to avoid common names :) Great Video!

[@WayTruthLife2100]

Hi Sergei! Would you please share with me where you went hiking? I live in Oregon and am frequently along the Oregon Coast, Lincoln City areas, to Salem, to Portland Metro, to Hood River and beyond. Id love to find wild elderberry!

[@michaelboud9642]

Great video! The mystery berry: twin berries. I've heard they are edible and NOT edible. They taste okay at first followed by a strange aftertaste. I don't recommend in any case.

[@devivinod]

is wild rasberry little glossy, near our apt some are growing near cats ears

[@jd-jw5dj]

Would be great if somebody would do a wild edibles video of central oregon

[@mattherriges6942]

Get in there!!!

[@morethantheeyesees]

Thimbleberries are the best

[@randallhesse5011]

It was too sunny where you were to find salal. Salal grows where red huckle berries grow. I'm surprised you found red huckle berries it was too sunny where you were to find them.

[@dbchillin7747]

What state park are you at?

[@reececanode8909]

great video thanks for sharing the information!

[@searose6192]

Are there any poisonous compound/aggregate berries? I have some kind of rubus looking bush in my front garden and I would love to try it.

[@MajklKral]

Dear Sergei, how would you heal tooth decay/cavities with diet? Whats the most important? Thanks alot ♥

[@mistystorythyme2452]

A dentist isnt required for all dentistry. I wasnt born with enamel. what then? definitely not a dentists job to recreate my dna. so, look into what has xylitol or something like that...along with seeking dentist help to prevent worse mouth issues and handle current issues.

[@gypsydonovan]

@@mistystorythyme2452 tooth decay & cavities were the question. Diet can't repair either. You need a dentist. Yes diet can help prevent those issues & help with others, but once present - you need a dentist.

[@YouretheMan-r6h]

I believe your unknown berry is a "Black Huckleberry." Let us know if it is or isn't.

[@tallnrough68]

The watermelon berries are known to be a laxative

[@thamesuser]

Can u do a wild edibles tour of Australia 🇦🇺.... I bet a lot of the berries etc here are different

[@BoutenkoFilms]

I’ve found variations of most if these plants in Oz: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e36bYolvqMyXpdU

[@user-pn3io5oy3i]

U said mega load, ha ha thats funny

[@richardbudzic6289]

Do bears like to eat those berries?

[@BoutenkoFilms]

Bears eat berries, but like to eat berry pickers more. ;-)

[@richardbudzic6289]

BoutenkoFilms hahaha :-)

[@woolpuppy]

False. Bears are huge foragers

[@mistystorythyme2452]

when bears come out of hibernation they eat more moths than anything to my knowledge of brown bears in Oregon. and he is in Oregon and our lands are full of berries. So many are actually invasive unlike East coast. Black berries get chopped and mowed down here. Goats are purchased to clear lands of berries bushes. lots of nature and space and we share in our state with our well protected animals. If he wont kill a plant, he wont take from an animal.I 💚💚💚your concerns. it is so special to see and read of your love for wildlife. That is what our state is about...protecting nature and wildlife.

[@Giggatonne]

We call the black ones bear berries because only the bears eat them 😉

[@kimmieskuisinehomesteading1575]

That looks like black Night shade which is poisonous. The berry you didn’t know

[@dbt5110]

I just eat any berry in wa and i turned out fine, except this purple flower had red green and yellow berries I ate them and started hallucinating🤷‍♂️

[@GB-mi5he]

Deadly nightshade? :)

[@dbt5110]

Garnet Bagle i don’t know but they get the job done

[@dbt5110]

Gray Au it taste good tho

[@mistystorythyme2452]

depends on amount taken.

[@brandon9172]

@@dbt5110 I believe the berry you ate was Solanum dulcamara , also known as bittersweet nightshade. Its naturalized in our state, and I've seen it before. They're very pretty lol. It produces purple flowers that have yellow stamens. It has berries that are green when unripe, which eventually turn yellow and then to red when fully ripe. The chemical that causes the hallucinations (along with a wide array of potentially deadly effects) is solanine. It causes delirium. I would highly suggest that you never eat those berries again. Not only is it known to cause delirium and possibly deadly side effects, but its pharmacology is relatively unknown. At least with things like deadly nightshade and datura you actually know how its poisoning you. Also, if you could, you should make a report of your experience on reddit or erowid.

[@fairrider3346]

DID YOU HAPPEN TO RUN ACROSS ANY DINGLE BERRIES? I HEAR THEY CAN BE FANTASTIC DEPENDING ON THE BUSH THEY GROW FROM. I DON'T THINK I HAVE EVER SEEN ANY.

[@BoutenkoFilms]

Yes you have to be careful with dingleberries. :-) when I was filming that segment I laughed quietly to myself imagining future KZbin comments… How else can you describe a berry that’s literally dingle dangling?

[@honestyhurts6864]

Im going out on a limb and assuming you're hiking and forgaging within some state or federal park. Did you even determine if it was okay to pick and consume those berries. Believe it or not, some laws prevent harvesting within state or federal lands

[@enemyofmyenemy6713]

the forest will provide

[@joemarchinski7798]

Any wild raw elderberry has cyanide

[@searose6192]

Number 1 is just not helpful....obviously people won't eat something unless they THINK they are certain what it is....the problem is if they are wrong. I wish I could forage, but without being an expert (or being with one) I am simply not confident enough that I have accurately recognized wild edibles. It's quite sad because there are dozens of plants I have studied carefully and believe I have correctly identified on my property, but there is a tiny niggling doubt that there might be a lookalike that I don't know about and I might poison myself. ... I need an expert foraging friend. 😞

[@dustbunny4544]

This is great information but really hard to watch when you eat with your mouth open

[@จํารัสอินทร-ป6ฬ]

The future Royal project the later 5 years my name is chamamras Wild Rasberry Doilang Maieye in Thailand Rearn very good

[@maurizioagostini5032]

Have you shaved your head?

[@BoutenkoFilms]

Nope, still have hair, just got it cut short.

[@smellslikemeltingplastic]

Why didn't you eat the the oregon grapes?
