@skullkidbenn Thank you very much. I have never been sick from eating wild edibles but my brother and many other people have. Many wild edibles have poisonous look-a-likes so you must always have absolute certainty in what you are picking. I have always had an interest in this subject and took plant I.D. courses over a decade ago. I also learned a lot from my family and I read through quite a few wild edible books and field guides. Thanks for your interest and God Bless!

be sure to wear gloves when you husk a lot of them because they'll stain your hands for a few weeks.

@Prepare2Survive LOL...I guess they're similar to the black walnut in that way.
