Wildharvesting Black Locust Blossoms in Central Park NYC

[s37d]

black locust is stronger than oak and more rot-resistant than red cedar

[mrsimplesense]

Your viewers should be aware that black locust pods and seeds are poisonous unless cooked at high temp.

@mrsimplesense thanks for letting them know - I didnt even know that until somewhat recently. Flowers are yummy though!

Looks amazing. At the 1st try of black locust blossoms last year, I felt fishy taste and threw them out. I may have had preconception on the taste. Ok, I'll try it again, sadly next year. When I was a child, I plucked black locust tree's leaves and feed my rabbits with them.

[kittybookitty]

The ending was so funny. He looks so crazy eating the blossoms... funny.

[amasayspfft]

wow it's been a year..

[ninnaeus]

Hahaha the last minute is hilarious! I'm not sure if they grow in Florida but I'm off to check it out, thanks for the info!

The longer you blend, the more oxygen gets into the food causing oxidation wich starts breaking down the good stuff like enzymes !

[indicatoto101]

Golly, you're cute Anthony, but those locust blossoms do not look delicious.

[rachelanndesigns]

Thanks so much, Anthony, for sharing this! I LOVE the video!

[rudesmurf]

I can't stop watching the last minute of this video, it makes me laugh so much. You seriously are the best.

[bubbetfetish]

Anthony I ran across your videos while researching Raw food. I am now a vegan and looking to go Raw. I think it is awesome that your posting these videos and it really helps us newbies for sure. Wish I could travel and have some of these interesting fruits n blossoms. ;-) Do you have a myspace page also? THanks again.I also want to add that you are absolutley drop dead gorgeous & heartstoppingly beautiful. + the fact that you are passionate & eat this way doubles your sex appeal to me anyway.

[marlo916]

this guys cool. subbed!

[itsnotrockscience]

The end of this vid cracks me up! Thanks for all the tips. I just moved to NYC and your vids/blog really help me get oriented with where all the good stuff is!

[StrawberryBigMac]

i dont blame them i would stare to/ get the same weird stares when i ask in the grocery store where can i find bee pollen.

[StrawberryBigMac]

you are my future baby daddy!

[Mitchmred]

You RAWK darlin'!

[Noz7777]

hilarious!

[scrumptiousvittles]

Righto. I saw your locust video the other day and as a result I am now knee deep in an epic blossom harvest. I'm in southwest Germany for a semester and it didn't occur to me to look for them here, but then after I watched your video and walked outside I realized that locusts (Robinien Bäume) are all over the place AND in full bloom. Apparently they were widely introduced to Europe 400 years ago.

Awesome tree. Absolutely delicious. People have no idea what they're missing.

[Rawmodel]

YES!!! So awesome. I am so glad you were able to get your hands on some. Knee Deep!! Its crazy right??? They taste so good...little nectar packets inside.

Very happy for you...the summer has just begun!

Anthony

[melissadear]

Haha. I love it.

[Naqshlive]

where are the blossoms located in central park?

[Rawmodel]

on the west side of the sheep meadow. SW corner. THere are still some....

[kammoline]

I love your videos! And that you are the antithesis of the "hippie" image that the RAW community has ; )I´m pretty new to it all, and it all started with juices and smoothies, and now I just had my first RAW pasta- my word-how amazing! Keep making your videos, they are very inspiering! Hola out from a Norwegian girl residing in London ; D

[Rawmodel]

Thanks Kammoline! Yeah, raw food can be so fun! It just depends on your knowledge and your mindset.

I have a lot of "hippie" values (although Im not lazy...)but I know that newcomers are more open to my look so I try to promote that as much as I can. No matter what we look like or what we are into, Raw food CAN become the diet of choice for so many different types of people.

Thanks for watching! Really really appreciate it! Have a great summer in London!

[kammoline]

cool-I hope it´s sunnier there in NY than currently in London ; ) Just a question in terms of investing in some of the equipment that facilitates eating more and more RAW. Would you get a Vitamix blender or a dehydrator first? And ps-i grew up with hippie parents -but not lazy ones-So me too do have similar values, but I just thought you were a breth of fresh air ; )

[Mitchmred]

I would say the vita-Mix for sure. This will enable you to get more raw fresh things into your diet quickly and easily. I use mine 2-4 times a day. The dehydrator was a blessing for replacing more of the savory "cooked" things. But, the Vita-Mix will make the biggest impact (in my humble opinion).

[chico101chick]

Black Locust Flower Syrup is another rich way to enjoy.

[yardsnacker]

oh one other thing, that zambizi honey is the whitelightning of honeys, phew, powerful!

[yardsnacker]

lol that would kill me, I'm so allergic to locust pollen it's crazy! At least I used to be, when I lived in Michigan.

OK blacklocustblossoms, blacklocustblossomsn, flakbloasablosa, arrrrrrg!

thanks great vid!

[GotoResonance]

Not shure at all. I think it could quite heal you, because it would go trough your digestiv system and not over your lungs. It may also be that at the time that these blacklocustblossoms are in flawor other sources of pollen are present and you dont pay so much attention about.

Give the a nature chance , live is often quite more complex than we think. Natural sources of sweetness in direct acces seems to be the best, the specific food for us humans. The right food does heal.

[GotoResonance]

P.S. or even better : the right food does no more hinder the healing process.

[yardsnacker]

Thanks GotoResonance, you're probably right, and it was a long time ago that the pollen caused me allergies, since I've been raw for some time now, who knows?

[mountainmmama]

i like that last part. cute.

well i live a little north of you so i'll look out for them!

[falafelstand]

Look at that weird guy!!!

Hehe. Another insightful video from THEE Raw Model.
