Oh wow, I love this. My grandad (back in the 1960s) would say "come in cowboy and have a sarsaprilla" and now I know why my dad loves Root Beer to this day. Tasty stuff!

Thank you so much for showing the identification & the process. When I was a child my mother always gave us sarsaparilla tea to help us recover from the "24 hour flu." I love the flavor.

Thanks Mark, for the details in identifying this plant. I now have a forage mission for the weekend. That inner root looks like it could be used for short lengths of improvised cordage, when needed.

Yes, I would think the inner root could be used for cordage. Good hunting

Thank you, I'm not sure but here in N.W. Montana I may have seen these growing in lower places in forest near water sources; bottom of a tree'd hill, area around lakes, in valleys where forest is thicker & denser with mix of trees, etc... may be another large blue berry on stalks that grows on the edge of moister sun-dappled clearings?

Question? Have you much experience with various ferro rods? I wonder if all ferro rods are created equal? Given the same size, are some made of softer material and some harder material in the rods? Most bushcrafters seem to favor the larger rods 1/2" x 6" plus, but there is a tremendous variation in price, is there difference in quality from your experience?

@MarkYoungBushcraft

Yes, I wash the roots by hand in water to remove surface dirt. They will remain brown and may still appear a bit dirty. The boiling will take care of any possible pathogens that may be present on the roots at that point. Hope this helps

No. Different plant. Sassafras was used as well for a root beer but is now considered unsafe. Thanks for commenting

We have Bristly Sarsaparilla in our area. Can the Bristly root be used in the same way as the Wild version? Do you know if it has the same taste and potency as the Wild version? Just found it yesterday on a local hiking trail in Southern NH. I was thinking of harvesting some. (Obviously harvesting responsibly 😊)

So there is nothing you can use the core for?

@MarkYoungBushcraft

3 жыл бұрын

I could have left it in the root when I made the decoction as it as a bit of labour taking it out but for eating the root, the core would be to difficult to chew. I guess you may be able to use it for cordage but I know of no medicinal value. Thanks for commenting

Maybe I’m confused. Through researching I thought the leaf edges were smooth? And they had three distinct leaves. One that looks like a mitten, one like a dinosaur foot print and then a typical oval leaf. Is this another variety?

If the core is left in, will it change the flavor of the decoction? I saw (and read in comments) that the core has no medicinal value and more bark is exposed when the core is removed to strengthen the decoction, but was wondering if it changed the flavor if the core stays in. I make fermented soda with a ginger bug, and was thinking of using the decoction to add to the soda.

What is the purpose of taking out the center core?

@MarkYoungBushcraft

Жыл бұрын

The only reason to remove the core is to make it easier to eat directly, or if you are making a drink, you are breaking the root down to expose more of it and it is just easy to remove the core then. The root has no impact on nutritional or medicinal qualities. Hope this helps
