Harvesting Wild Hazelnuts (Ep. 32)
Hazelnuts grow in Minnesota? Somehow we never knew that! Follow along as we take a walk to harvest the many wild hazelnuts we found growing on our property. Squirrels haven’t been competition for the nuts so far, there are tons of them--and tons of mosquitoes, there are always tons of mosquitoes!

Your family just about matches mine. we have 4 kids 7,5,3 and1yrs with one on the way! Love to see all the excess energy.
Burdock when it’s big leaves like that, you can dig the root, peal, chop, dry for healthy tea, but the second year it flowers and makes the big bur seeds. Then it’s gone.
The fruit looks so lovely. Like small wrapped gifts.
I agree the big leafed plant is burdock
that plant is Burdock, the root is used for Medicine and you can eat the stalks.

Burdock root is known as "gobo" in Japan, I've had it at sushi places before probably pickled or something. It can be really tasty.

That's the baby. Have you never made dandelion and burdock pop. You will find a recipe somewhere on the net.
thats a burdock plant- long tap root brings minerals up from the deep to help other plants like comfrey does, thank you for the vigeo
that big leafed stuff is burdock. the bees love it.
You can also use burdock leaves for a perfect bandage over a burn wound. It will not stick to the burned or new skin. You can harvest them in the spring and dry them, then in the winter, if you need one, you rehydrate by dipping quickly in boiling water, cool and then apply to burn. Just an FYI for another good use. (We would apply Burn and Wound Sauve to the wound and then cover with the burdock leaf. My husband had a huge “rug burn” or gravel burn from sliding into first base at a baseball game and burdock saved his skin! All other bandages stick and ripped the skin - he has no scar.
So lovely!
My little hazelnut trees/bushes are dropping their first nuts right now! I'm excited to harvest as they are my favorite nut. Thanks for the video! :-)
Burdock root is a popular Asian vegetable. Roots and leaves also popular for tonics and medicine.
Nice video, thanks! You don't need to pick the husks, the nuts will come out very easily if they are ripe and then just leave the husk on the tree. If the nut doesn't drop out with hardly any effort, it's not ripe yet, and you might as well leave it on for the wildlife. Hazel is actually a tree rather than a bush, as they can grow to over 40 feet tall. But they often do look a bush when they are young.
Wow 4 times blessed you have a lovely family Mrs Sarah try two tablespoons of cider vinegar with one teaspoon or sugar in a glass of water it's not foolproof but is very effective for keeping mosquito away stay safe
I was in my mid twenties, before I knew about hickory nuts; growing in my local woods, in Illinois. Yet my family harvested black walnuts, every year, to add to candy and fudge, at Christmas time. I guess it just depends on what each families tastes are, and what they like. It can be a survival food in the wild, so it doesn't hurt to know what is edible and what is not. Way to teach the youngsters valuable knowledge.
Happy that i have seen nice family 😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍😍😘😍🥰😘🥰😘
Oh my goodness, what a neat find!
What a great find. Hazelnuts are my favorite. Thank you for sharing.
We had a farm in Livonia township here in Minnesota. Growing up on an eighty acre farm we found hazelnuts growing along the dirt roads and some in the pasture. Then one year they seemed to all die out. I am so happy knowing you have found them again in Minnesota,
Catching up on your videos. It's nice to see newer homesteaders learning about wild edibles. Burdock is a tough plant to get rid of. Hazel nuts are a favorite of wildlife. Hope to meet you at one of the homestead get togethers (I'm a bit north west of Big Family homestead)
Nice family. wishes all the best for all the family.
Roast the raw hazelnuts for 15 minutes in a 350 degree oven. I am roasting some now, they'll taste better & the brown husk will come off pretty easily when rubbed with a terry towel.
Hey ! I am 63 ,grew up Hazelbrush every where and never knew they were producing my favorite nuts . Thanks for the information .
Nice video!
The big leaf you’re asking about. burdock. As in dandelion and burdock
Cool video, well done man 👍

Just found your channel.was looking up about hazelnuts, just found out we've got them by us.but I'm in the uk.my chap showed them me.i am super excited lol.so I'm trying to find out about when they are ready to pick & that.by the way thanks for sharing your amazing vid.love the quality family time you guys shared.thankyou.ive subscribed.
Super lucky to have nuts so near to your home tfs xx
I got 100s of acres of hazil nuts all wild love branches and sourwood we have family stead in NC mountains
A great video.
Wow, I had never seen hazelnuts & now I want some hazel brush!
Burdock mate if it has leaves like that and the stem is the profile of rhubard with fuzzy hairs it's burdock Root can be harvested in autum from plants that aren't producing pods and it can be used as dirdct replacement for potato I believe I'm trying some this year for sure
Beautiful Hazel nuts the children don’t mind those Mosquitoes 🦟 Lawrence quite the boy seems very smart
Great video and a wonderful family! I was hoping to learn from you how to ID hazel brush before the squirrels get all the nuts around me. It's probably too late since you were harvesting a month ago! Could you please show more details to ID the brush, height, bushiness, fall colors, shade or sun, undisturbed or periodically mowed, anything that will help a guy who sees everything else in the woods, but never hazel brush. Thanks a heap!
Watching video with my Dad . We have receny discovered a bush growing in the woods near or house . Very excited! You asked about the plant growing and if anyone knew what it was - my Dad says it is wild ginger
Hazel leaves are super soft and make GREAT toilet paper when camping/backpacking in the woods!
My mum is 91 and she still gets excited to go gather the hazelnuts in Autumn. We would wait until the nut is darker brown and falling out of the husk. Unfortunately I don’t see too many here in Monaghan, Southern Ireland this year. It was lovely watching your wee ones having fun, tfs. 🐢

This was our first time picking hazelnuts, and now that we know what to look for I can see it becoming a fun family tradition each year!
Awesome guy's, so lucky to figure out what they are. I think that plant might have been a burrdoch

Hmm, I'll have to pay attention to see if that plant flowers at all. I think all burdock plants flower and create the bulb shaped burs? To me the leaves look similar to rhubarb, but the stalk is different. Thanks for the compliment, editing isn't an easy process! ~Sarah

We have only been on this property 2 full years (beginning at end of Aug 2016) so still identifying what grows here but the wild rhubarb was new, or at least way more noticeable, this year.
We do that here in northern Ireland in Sept. Yuuummm cobb nuts!
Burdock, O blood type attracts mosquitoes, use so lemon or lavender oils, it helps.
I just watched a video of hazlenut harvesting in Oregon- they are very big trees and they dont pick them instead the nut falls to the ground and they collect them with machinery. 🤷♀️
i am eating my cadbury hazelnut rn and think i never see how hazelnut look like. i enjoy watching your video!!
Big leaf looks like my squash
Lovely video I am writing from province of Turkey in Ordu the capital of the hazelnut
@ThatWeirdDude40

So Ordu is probably the main hazelnut deliverer for Italy's Ferrero corporation. Ferrero uses almost 55% of the world's hazelnut production, and Turkey producing itself almost 70% of the worlds hazelnuts, so I'm pretty sure they must be the main deliverer.
I went bear hunting in Northome Minnesota my guide pick a large bag of Hazelnut he put them in vinegar water for three days the skin came off easy. Yes I got a 361 lbs bore bear in 2008 , I'm getting to old to hunt Im 70 but I love Minnesota . Remember safety is number one on your homestead.
That big leaf plant is wild rhubarb
Here in the U.K. we have Hazelnut trees 🌳- I have one in my back garden! 😂
so you follow off grid with Doug and Stacy I just subbed to your channel I also have over 200 bushes of hazelnuts but I sell mine to tree nursery
at 1:42 to the right of your head you have some delicious looking sumac berries!
We were given a hazelnut bush, and we did not know how to pick them Thank you
The big leaf is not eatable as far as I know. Love finding other Minnesotans homesteading as we are just starting to get into it.
are you going to this year 2019 confernce ? my hazelnut bushes are loaded heavy this year
Catching up - that plant looks like a wooly burdock. It is edible & often used topically for minor skin inflammation.
If you cut the stem and its hollow it's most like burdock(edible roots) if you cut the stem and its solid it is most likely rhubarb(edible stalks)
you can make burdock root soup
Wrong about the cocklebur, realized it after reading your comment section. Burdock it is, and useful it is....John rabeler, my friend planted 8 hazelnut bushes and we are going to prune them back to 4 or 5 stems to try to get them to fruit.
That big leaf looked like cocklebur. It sends up flower s that have smaller leaves, flowers, then the burrs form and stick to the hair of hairy animals for dispersal and your clothes and shoelaces. There may be uses for the root, check it out, ...John rabeler
I live in Oregon and Hazelnuts are my favorite nut so I had to check out your video. Around here the squirrels plant the seeds of the hybrid nuts and we get what are called Hazelnut weeds. The nuts aren't as good and I don't know anyone who harvests them. Our big problem here is the hazelnut blight that came in on trees brought into the US. I am curious to know if the type you have are suseptable and wonder ifvanyone here grows them. Time to do a little research. Oh and I make these amazing shortbread cookies with fresh rosemary, roasted hazelnuts that are dipped in bittersweet chocolate too. Yum...I need to make them today...this made me hungry.

I wonder if you can put them in a dehydrator oven to speed the process, Or do you think that will ruin the flavour?
we always called the plant with the big leaves pigweed, kinda looks like rhubarb but isn't edible.
4:43 looks like doc leaves,
Cobnuts do grow on trees also not just bush
You should downolad the Minnesota Wildflowers ID app.
What if I wanted to plant them, when should I pick them, Thanks

You would still harvest at the same time, in the late summer/early fall (depending on where you are located) when they just start to turn a little brownish. I haven't planted any from seed, but from what I've read it seems as though they should typically grow well. Here are some basic instructions that I found: Submerge your seeds in water, any that float are bad. Plant them about 2" deep in a bucket of potting mix, water well, and leave out for the winter. In the spring keep seedlings moist, but not over-watered. The first summer they should be in partial shade and planted in the ground in the fall. Good luck and happy harvesting! ~sarah
