    Drying the cattail roots will also allow the fibers to separate more easily from the starches in the root during processing. It’s best to pound the dried root and remove the fibers as you go. Grinding isn’t really necessary afterwards. If you eat a pancake out of cattails the way he did it, you’ll crap a length of rope.

    Drying them and removing the starch definitely works, takes longer. What I did in my experiments is cleaning the rhyzomes and then cutting them up, which is super easy, and grinding them both fresh and dry. The fresh stuff creates a nice starchy patty which can be baked on a hot stone immediately, so it really depends on what you're going for, and what the timeframe is. If extracting the most carbs and getting rid of the fibre, then drying with long stems like @Fried Pi 3.14159 said, works best, also consider the storage, how, where and how long...that's not always easy or as straighforward as you might think, at least not archaeologically or archaeobotanically speaking. Wild carrot should be next, the patties from those were delicious :)

    I’ve heard that a lot of ancient grains were soaked for a day or two before cooking and eating. This sort of partially ferments the starches, helps break them down and become easier to digest. I wonder if that was done to ancient cattails and maybe would have made the texture more palatable.

    I have found that if you let your maple sap freeze then fish out the ice as it thaws the ice is not sweet but the sap is. It could help reduce fuel use and the time boiling the sap, if you remove some of the water by freezing it. The sugars function like antifreeze so the sweet part of the frozen sap thaws first.

    If you harvest the rhizome and shoots from a very young cattail, it will be much more tender and less fibrous. You want to look for one that is still just a sprout, ideally only about 1-3 feet tall. Also, the part of the cattail that is "like corn" is the spike, the green flower cluster that eventually gives way to the eponymous seed punk. You want to pick this when it looks like asparagus, a rather small window before it turns into the THIRD useful food source: The pollen works as a GREAT protein rich flour or flour additive, and there is a LOT of it in each flower!

    @William Fontaine de La Tour Dauterive Carbon dating is reliable, but not reliable for overly long stretches of time; if its only 10-20k yrs ago, then carbon dating is highly reliable, but going much past ~40k yrs they wud be better off using other methods for sure, such as uranium dating. (The shit that claims its any less reliable than that is based on carbon dating methods used 50+ yrs ago before things had been figured out and back when carbon contamination was a common problem when doing carbon dating) Tho most likely, future archaeologists wud use even more reliable methods that we may as of yet not figured out or that are currently known but inaccessible to us due to our own current technological limitations

    FYI Andy, rhizomes are NOT roots. They are above roots; specifically they are the bottom of the stem. It is from rhizomes that roots and above-ground stems sprout off from. Additionally, you're supposed to dry out the rhizome and then mash it, then leach the starch out by boiling them then soaking, as you mentioned; it is far less labour intensive (and thus less calories spent to make, as well as more calories per pancake), and you can just use more cattails (since they're bloody EVERYWHERE) to deal with the mass reduction from the inedible cellulose. Just like you don't eat the woody stems of asparagus or similar.

    1/2 buckwheat 1/2 almond four is my goto gluten free flour. I use a different starch, but cattail is probably good. Pancakes are always heavily whisked egg until fluffy. Milk, oil, vanilla, bsugar, salt. Then add your dry. Rendered meat fat and water could be the milk and oil sub. Egg emulsifies. I make gf (w/o sugar usually) because of heart issues, but apparently ützi had heart issues from his heavily starchy diet too. He had some goat too, but i bet it was a lot healthier than modern farmed goats.

    What amazes me is how incredibly good instant pancake mix is. 30,000 years ago it was a fight to get your incredibly mediocre pancakes, and now you just add water till you’ve got the consistency you want, then cook them up in a couple minutes for some seriously good pancakes in less than ten minutes. All with only a dry instant mix and water, so it’s super compact. And it’s not as if you’re sacrificing quality not making it all from scratch either! Gotta love how convenient and tasty food has gotten.

    While they didn't have strawberries 30,000 years ago, they most certainly had wild strawberries. Those are very small and grow only in the wild (as the name suggests) and are practically impossible to farm. Also instead of blue berries, people probably foraged for bilberries, a much tastier and nutrient-dense cousin of blue berries which grows in the forests especially in the north.

Infact the standard pancake we had for Pancake Tuesday in my family (Ireland) was not fluffy. (plain flour, eggs and milk) Now I use self-raising flour when I make pancakes and they're fluffy I'd say the difference between a flat bread and a pancake is that one has batter and the other has dough?

    Them: "we're going to use cattail roots" Me: "Nice, that's a surprisingly useful plant. Glad it's getting more attention." Them: _Don't even bother to process the roots correctly._ Me: "..." From the farmer's almanac: The roots (called rhizomes) are harvestable throughout the year, but they’re best in the fall and winter. To prepare a cattail root, clean it and trim away the smaller branching roots, leaving the large rhizome. You can grill, bake or boil the root until it’s tender. Once cooked, eating a cattail root is similar to eating the leaves of an artichoke - *strip the starch away from the fibers* with your teeth. The buds attached to the rhizomes are also edible! To make flour: You can also use the roots to make flour, used as a thickening agent in cooking. Scrape and clean several cattail roots. Place roots on a lightly greased cookie sheet in a 200º F oven to dry overnight. Skin roots and *remove fibers.* Pound roots until fine. Let stand overnight to dry. Sift, and it’s ready to use.
