Chewing on grass as a pleasant pass time is one thing; relying on it for sustenance is another. Also humans can’t digest grasses. You could go container gardening and grow things on a balcony or indoors but if you do that you want as high calorie plants as possible - ie grow a beet or potato rather than lettuce. Even still most urban dwellers would find practical problems with this

We are so addicted to our lawns. In Germany, people had their veggie gardens in front of the house of that was where the sun was longest. Lots of summers the tomatoes stayed green from lack of warm temperatures. It’s a mimetic thing in this country. Green (poisoned) lawns. Nicely trimmed with large mowing machines.

Yes, to the wild edibles cooking show!!! I would love to know how to store different edibles so they can be eaten later.

Been foraging since the seventies. One of my favorites is violet. You can eat the flowers and the foliage is edible and has more iron than spinach. The tender young leaves are great in salad. I always try to leave some in my backyard, as it never gets higher than my ankles. It also is a butterfly 🦋 friendly, as the Gulf Fritillary likes to lay it's eggs on it.

All in the space of 3 square ft.

I teach plant identification for 4H youth and I have a couple of kids getting into foraging & wild edibles. I am excited to have just discovered your channel. Just watching your video I am still only confident in identifying those plants that I have already seen many times. Mallow, thistles, and dock I don't think I can confidently identify. One of the best ways I teach for identification is to draw the plant. This makes you notice every detail: leaf margins, venation, how the leaves are arranged on the stem, petioles, flower characteristics, etc. I 2nd your advice about using all the senses. We observe plants visually but also feel for rough, smooth, spined, textured, or fuzzy leaves & stems. We smell others. One other thing I do with them for plants that have a similar leaf structure is to ask them what the plant could be mistaken for and then compare them side by side. For example, we might look at cantaloupe, cucumber, and squash leaves side by side and discuss similarities & what makes each distinctive/unique. I would think this would be a good technique for foraging edibles especially. This edible plant looks almost exactly like this other inedible thing and here's how you tell the difference. This may have been how I found your channel looking up American Chestnut (edible) vs. Horse Chestnut (not edible). The chestnuts look almost virtually alike to a beginner who has never seen a chestnut before. If one is poisonous and one isn't, I sure want to know which is which before venturing to eat them.

I grew up eating many of these plants. My parents, dad born 1920 mom 1924, grew up during the great depression. Fortunately both on family farms so never really went hungry, unlike some of their friends in town. Anyway grew up learning to forage on hikes, around the ranch and wherever. Very good things to know. I've recently started learning about herbal medicines. My dad had a big book of his dad's written in the late 1800's. Some things they had for "health" was just plane funny. But a lot was good info, one of my older brothers has it now.

Dude you are cool AF and are an awesome teacher. I have been studying wild food and medicine on my own for several months. I have been foraging salads and picking and eating things any time I'm in the woods. I love the stuff, myself, as well as the idea that I can have fun while getting food or medicine for free!!!! Everyone thinks I'm crazy but a lot of it tastes much better than store bought produce!!!!! And it's free!!!!!

Amazing! I bought a house with a garden full of wild flowers and weeds which was incredibly overwhelming. I now feel less overwhelmed about all knee-high stuff growing back there. Please make more videos like these!

As a child ,my father took me into the timber and taught me what was edible! I love fried dandelion blossoms and sautéed wild mushrooms. We also made our own sassafras tea which is real work as it’s made from the roots! The aroma of digging and cutting the roots made my mouth water! Cat tail was another winter staple we loved! Love your info videos!

Love foraging for wild edibles, I find easiest way to eat them is put them in a smoothie with some fruit, it masks the bitterness of the leaves and you still get all that leafy goodness. I look for wild edibles that much that when I saw frost on the hedgerows and verges last winter, my immediate thought was " mmm frozen veg" lol😂

Hi, I'm from New Brunswick, Canada. I recognize all of these edibles. I get inspired whenever I see shows like yours with such excellent teaching and practical learning experience. Thank you. I am 71 years old and am foraging away! I too would like your suggestion of one herb and take it all the way to the cooking experience and also medicinal knowledge about it. I was just introduced to the new spruce tip experience for syrup, tea, and salad. Can't believe it took so many years to experience such a delight. Thank you again.

Thanks so much , my grandmother would walk us through the park and name every green thing around us and tell us what it was and if it was good or bad , Your very inspiring 😀

I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. It's a genetic mutation of the collagen gene. At 4 years old i'd had scurvy and rickets and craved grass. I'd sit in the yard eating the sweet tender greens. My parents had no idea what was wrong with me back then. After yelling, smacking, and punishing didn't stop me, they served me a bowl of grass at the dinner table while the family had real food. It stopped me completely as i didn't want to be a cow. I wanted real food at the table. Now i know i was always malnourished and my body was trying to save my life. Indeed we are fearfully and wonderfully made! Ps 139.

I would LOVE to see a series of videos showing one wild edible at a time being incorporated into a meal!

Batter & fry those dandelion flowers up like you would morel mushrooms and they taste similar to them. Some precooked bags of lettuce sold at the store will have some chopped up dandelion leaves mixed in with the lettuce. My mom battered and fried up the dandelion flowers the old fashion way. It was good. She saved bacon grease and then battered and fried them in that. After soaking them in salted water for about 20 minutes I rinse them and pat them dry like my mom does. Then since I have celiac disease I use either almond or rice flour, mixed with salt, to batter the dandelion and fry it up with coconut oil. Taste sooo good! 😅Hey, you are sitting on some Creeping Charlie which is edible. It is in the mint family but looks totally differant than other mints. When it gets walked on or mowed over it releases a pleasant smell that is very nice. It taste ok.

This was one of the best wild foraging videos I've seen. Thank you for taking the time to be this specific about these edible plants. I've been foraging wild edibles since last year and am so happy to see other people interested in this way of living.

Sergei, I have appreciated your family’s plant wisdom for years, starting with your mom. I would definitely be interested in your forage-to-table program. I think that it would be a unique offering in the foodie and the plant ID spaces. BTW, even when times are not so hard, the prospect of increasing one’s nutritional profile by cultivating these plants in the garden is very appealing, especially since so many of our domesticated cultivars have been bred for appearance, sweetness, uniformity,and ease of mass harvest rather than nourishment.

Love the way you show us how to identify these plants. I am going to show this to my teenage granddaughter who lives on a farm and loves plants. She has a disability though where she cannot learn to read so this is perfect for her. Thankyou

Yes, please make the series! GREAT advice about adding one new edible at a time to be sure you have no allergy. Eat it for a week to a month without adding anything new to make sure. You can develop allergies over time. I also find that you are very careful in identification. Thank you for showing different variants in plants. I also appreciate that you're defining what the public land management will kill if you don't eat it. Watching this with the grass, I said "what?". I went outside and pulled a few and it worked. I took a bite of that light bit (all of our grass is organic) and yes, it tastes like grass, but sweeter. I'd throw it in a salad. I already knew that dandelions are everything. Don't eat too much of the root at one time though or you'll pee yourself silly. During the depression, folks used to forage regularly for dandelions to make a salad. I learned that from my great grandma, who actually did that. Personally, where I can leave them to propagate, I do, so I always have a source of food high in calcium. They're little calcium pumps. I have plantain growing about 10ft out my front door. Can you dig them up and move them? They're in a place I'm going to be going scorched earth because I need defensible space for fire season. I live in a forested part of Oregon in Polk county and it's just a matter of time before we have fire here. We were really concerned when Detroit and all down 22 burned, and then coming the other way through Otis. We're half way between both. Have to make way for rock/cement, and I'd love to keep these little guys somewhere, either potted or away from the house. I also have clover all over. It has a wonderful aromatic that's pleasant, but I can't quite identify. Local clover honey has been a staple in my home, and it reminds me of that but WAY stronger. Again, I'd put it on a salad. For me, NO SLIME. NO okra, ever. I lived in the south and I've had it every way possible and I can't do the snot. Not even fried drowned in Ranch. It's a texture thing. I'm a retired nurse, not a respiratory therapist. Where are you in Oregon? My plants are way smaller than yours. Also, we're at 1k ft. so that could be the difference. Everything is later here. Our cherries are just now blooming when those in Salem have already lost all of their flowers

Oh my goodness you are such a FANTASTIC teacher of forging wild food. Would like more forges and how to prepare in salad, soups, stews or stir fry. Thank you very much!♥️👍

Excellent teaching skills. I have a sea of clover, some dandelion, stinging nettle purple, and plantains., persimmons, muscadine, wild strawberries, and still learning. I know I have mushrooms that my Arkansas forager friend has taught me to pick and these are all found on my property right out my front and back door...free food.

AMAZING! I am a teacher during the school year, but in the summer I run a homesteading camp up at the farm that has been in my family for hundreds of years! I had already planned to use my recycling to teach my campers hydroponic gardening this year, I will def include foraging now that I’ve seen this video!

Excellent introduction to foraging. Im not new to it, but massively appreciate how you bring people closer to it. This is our largely forgotten human heritage, abd thank you for helping to keep it going and hopefully expanding ✌️

Brilliant video, you're such a good teacher. I've been eating some of those for years now, so glad you're spreading the word and teaching others, top job 👍

Boom, I'm on it.

I have been a student of wild foraging for at least 35 years and I totally enjoyed this video and learned some things. Thank you 🙏🏼 for your inspiration and encouragement and effort and style! I will subscribe and share 🙌🏽 💝 🌿

I found you very easy to listen to, and this is the 1st time I've tuned in to one of your videos. I enjoyed watching. You have an easy, relaxed way and you are a good teacher!

Yes, any tutorial is helpful. Thanks for all you do! This is so helpful for vegans!

Your book wild edibles just came in the mail the other day! We're so thankful to come across your book in your videos. They are super helpful! I think you should, for sure, make that little mini-series you're talking about. We need it!

My first time watching you! Very impressed with your teaching and how easy you make it to learn. Can’t wait to go out there and try to identify and cook some of these. Thank you so much.

This is so amazing! I weeded my yard yesterday and many of these are in the green waste bin! Ugh. Thank you!

Love the video! As a newcomer to foraging and fellow Oregonian I would love to see a series focusing on individual plants!

Thank you so much Sergei

My favorite part of a Dandy is the flower bud when it's tight and close to the leaf base. So sweet and juicy! Wonderful video and info, thank you!

I’ve studied for years and still learned some things today. Thank you.

This was Entertaining and informative. A pleasure to watch. I fixed a really fancy wedge salad 🥗, and then consumed it while watching and learning.

can’t wait 😊

So amazed! ,this was more interesting than I could have imagined!.. my childhood was spent out doors in a small village in the 40’s& 50’s ..weeds grew everywhere.. most of which I could name by sight.. however, now I know what is edible, although, now the “ wild” areas no longer exist as they did years ago.. (unsightly things are mowed down early in cities, towns etc. So…we no longer see them growing at all.. unless we go out into wild areas and forage!! OR … WATCH YOUR SUPER GREAT VIDEOS ON KZread,! i thank you for this.. I learned so much!.. BEST..CHERYL🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Hello! I have known of most of these so-called weeds for decades, but I did not know as much about them as you have expressed. Thank you. & in answer to your question, I do see that your last year's garden patch has many plants, instead of my first glance of mostly grass & a single dandelion here & there. I like hearing about Oregon, since I have visited, mainly in SE Portland. Now I reside in green sunny SW Virginia. I am sharing this(my first of your videos) with a few friends & family who will benefit to learn about edible "weeds." Thank you Sergei~

interesting to know, thanks I already put a reminder

Groovy, see you on Sunday!

Literally the best video on wild foraging iv seen on youtube. So informative and very easy to follow. Thanks alot for this invaluable information I'm deffinatly going to subscribe to learn more from you as this is one of my major hobbies next to growing edibles in my garden.

I can hardly wait to look at the rest of your videos and to get my hands on your book

I started this video with it just in the background as I was doing house chores... I had to stop and take notes. Excellence presentation and I have subscribed!!

I know deer here in MT eat some of these.. they don’t eat grass. I don’t blame them

Watched your video for the first time. Love it!! Please, I am a total novice in the field and would love to see one plant at a time and how to preserve it. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for all your knowledge, and for talking so clearly. I was brought back to a childhood memory when I used to find a particular grass in my parents' garden and pull blades of it out, and eat those meristematic bits. I thought i was being a bit odd, but clearly something within me knew it was good!

Yes a single plant series would be great love your videos thx

So glad that I found your channel! Foraging has been interested of mine for few years now. I live on suburban street of about 30 houses...only about 3 of us do not treat our lawns. I have tons of dandelions and feel that I'm being judged by neighbors.. though I don't care as I will never use chemicals! I did identify at least 8 edibles in my yard! I did buy your book too and can't wait to receive! Enjoying all the videos and your sense of humor!!

Well without a calendar or time..you and your other 2 neighbors know when spring is here 😉 Daffodils start March at the equinox along with spring beauties. April is dandelions, purple dead nettle, chickweed, and cress 🤗

Dandelions are SO important for pollinators!! Plus they're beautiful and nutritious!! Your neighbours are idiots and lawns r evil, IMHO. 👃✌️🥰🇨🇦

You are probably going to be the one person in your neighborhood who won't starve. I've been a Euell Gibbons reader since the sixties and have never regretted anything I've learned.

Super awesome that you're getting this vital information out there. More people need learn and know about these things! :)

Many thanks for sharing your plant knowledge--I've seen a few in my childhood in Canada, and will search further in my MN neighborhood and beyond!

Awesome video, just started experimenting with foraging last year and have been very pleased. There's no better or fresher food than the wild options set before us in abundance. God bless.

This was so amazing! Thank you so much for your efforts and amazing teaching skills. I’ve grown up around this area PNW and I know these plants well but never know so many of them were so beneficial! Passing this on to my kids and grand kids!

Looking forward to seeing your lawn to kitchen, wild food prep videos. I find that many people can identify edible plant life. Yet struggle with just what can and should be done with their finds.

Thank you for this. Very detailed without being overwhelming for new foragers like myself. Subscribed!!

My favorite way to eat/drink dandelion leaves is to blend them with coconut water, then strain and drink. The combination of bitter and sweet makes them quite intriguing and even enjoyable. Now I am thinking that I might try this with some of the other bitter greens. I also juice the dandelion leaves and take small swigs of the juice once or twice a day. Not as yummy but definitely feels powerful and good for me. You didn't mention milk thistle seeds in this video. They are great for the liver and I also feed them to birds. I like to chew a few now and then, too or grind them to use in various nut-seed concoctions. I believe curly dock is the same as yellow dock, which I was taught to use for blood cleansing, an easily assimilable form of iron, and good for the reproductive system, though I think it is the root that is mainly used. (Maybe you can't say medicinal uses of herbs here?)

Great Teacher, repetitive information helps

Yea!! I’m seeing this in July and am glad that you decided to do the cooking show!!

I love your video and how you teach! It is a very good refresher course for me. Thank you so much🥰 I encourage you to keep on keeping on with doing this. 🙂 💜💛🌻💛💜
