Hi Deane- im sure you answered this in the past....but are the domesticated radish leaves edible as well. Or, a larger question - if the wild leaves of a particular plant are edible, then the domesticated leaves will be as well?? thaniks again.
@EatTheWeeds Right! the sand-paper texture had me scared...maybe I can liquify them in my blender. thanks for the response. Best wishes for your new ventures.
how could i know the difference between wild radish and wild parsnip? they looked similar to me in pictures. I know some wild parsnips can irritate the skin. are there differences in the leaves?
@nico27004 The plants are extremely different looking. Perhaps you mean something other than Wild Parsnip. The mustards (radish) have a FOUR-petaled blossoms that looks like a cross, about an inch across. The parnips, and many poisonous plant that look similar, have a blossom that looks like an umbrella made up of many smaller umbrellas made up of many tiny blossoms with FIVE petals.
@EatTheWeeds i guess what i mean from pictures of them at a young age they look similar. the leaves to to me. is there a difference in the stock or the leaves different themselves?
@Codenamebravo If the botanical name is the same. It's a huge family. I suggest you go to my website and type in "resources" with the quotes. Then scroll down to the bottom of the resource page. There you will find several foragers in your country you can contact for a speific identification.
im going to go find some of these today!!!..i just love your show.i could go out walking in a forest with you any day...just to learn about all the plants.and maybe even have a snack
Hi green Dean, You have evolved. I have the feeling you intended these videos as a hobby. I have repeated quite often that the quality of the videos from the information to the presentation is a quality I would expect to find on PBS.
. Our mustard in these parts is the highly invasive garlic mustard(Alliaria petiolata). I have been doing my duty and making pesto from the leaves and horseradish sauce from the roots. I will try some ground whole mustard seed as well this year.
we have a big problem with invasive raphanus here in the san francisco bay area. but the inflorescence is more white or purple... different species? i'd love to eat up all those destructive weeds... are there any key differences in relation to their edibility?
Deane, guess what I saw today off the side of I10? If you guessed wild radish, you guess right! There was so much, it could have fed a small army. Thanks for making so much smarter!
It's rapanohorto in Greece. My favorite part is the unopened flower buds along with as much of the stem that breaks off easily. Cook them like any of the several different plants they call "vrouves;" by tossing them into boiling water, then straining and serving with with olive oil and lemon. Wonderful! The Turks tend to go more for the leaves during the winter.
Just cant seem to get enough! i really like your ideas about knowing what grows naturally in your part of the word. Then ,when and if there is a seed shortage, those who forage survive!
WOOT!!! WOOT!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I hear it, I heard it!!! Your "DVDs will be ready soon" ... Yes! I'm a customer for sure! Great Job, GD, I'm so glad to see you've posted more videos! And congratz on the DVDs! You've definitely made a very good mark on this world. (Hmm, maybe I shouldn't write when I'm too excited, LOL, but that "DVD" thing got my all riled up!) - Nice to see you posting again. Later. --Rack
Love the new camera and video quality! Although the walking portion made me just a bit ill. LOVE the videos, its so great to see you back making more. Is mustard next? I could watch these all day been a fan since video one! Can't believe you forgot toodles! I guess it happens with taking some time off. I can't wait for the dvd's, anything I can do to support! We just are running out of teachers and even more so teachers who actually prepare and eat what they speak about. You are the best!
Excellent videos as usual for Dean. New camera is nice, however he could use a windscreen (that fuzzy bunny thing you slip on a microphone) to cut down on wind noise. It would make it much easier to hear him speak on breezy days like the 8th of February was.
I have seen photos of FLIPs, I was gonna buy one myself, but just never got around to it. -- Anyhow, if I remember correctly. it just has a series of holes on a flat surface that records the audio. You can just improvise one, by say, taking some cotton and covering those holes and taping it in place or however you want to keep it there. -- Something like that should work, test it. Only concern would be if they use the same holes for radar/sonar focus means. Good luck.
How about the modern raddish? Can you eat the leaves and flowers? I have always thrown them away, keeping the root for eating but if I can eat the tops as well all the better.
do you have a book to identify wild edibles, and how to cook them? i'd like to have a book as well as your vids. the book so i can check which plant is edible, or poisonous when i'm away from the computer, and your vids to double check. :)
Yes and no. The blossom can often be purplish, but I do not know if parts of the rest of the plant can, or at least I have not seen it. Email me, and tell me what area of the world you live in.
That is a wild radish? I have seen them all over the place here. I never knew what they were, and kind of looked over them. Thanks for the information. Thought I am not a radish fan, they are good for me.
Yes. I had a horrid time uploading the first one. Took half a day. And while this one is not as good as it should be it is better than the previous one. It was shot in High Definition. I am hoping as it is processed it will improve significantly. If not I have no idea why it is not as good as 110.
You make excellent professional looking videos, very informative, loved this, thank you! ~ Angie

I was fairly certain it was a variety of the mustard family, but it looks like I was wrong. Personally, I like to eat the leaves raw. Thanks!
