Wild Edibles: Plantain, cooking and eating the flower/seed stalk.

[LaLeLiLoLuRa]

I recently read somewhere that the plantain's seed can also be eaten and dried and made into flour. Looking forward to trying it out.

@LaLeLiLoLuRa Thank you for the comment, if you go to the channel page, I have the videos put into playlists and one of them is wild edibles. In that playlist, I have made the plantain into flour and made Plantain Peanut Butter. Its strange you comment today because I am going to be makling some of my many wild edible flour substitutes into bannock this in the next two days and I still have some plantain flour left and thats one I think I will be trying. Thanks Again. Joe

Excellent, thanks!

if only you could find something natural that taste like butter,that would make everything better,i cant really imagine any plant tasting naturally buttery though

[JoeandZachSurvival]

@GamerSwag I agree, the goal of " off grid " living is to be self sufficiant, yet the pioneers took things with them and thats all they had,and the people that lived way up in the alaskan bush relied on planes to drop suppys off once in awile. Flour, salt, etc. We need to come up with what the Native Americans used and the real mountain men to get to the substitutions. or did they use nothing?

Thats what makes YouTube fun, you learn yourself as you go : ) Thank You, I enjoy your comments

I bet those would be good battered & fried too. That might help to take some of the green taste away.

[JoeandZachSurvival]

@TheZooKeeper33 Thats a great idea, because even after doing them in butter the way I did, I wasnt truly impressed but I try all the plants in the same way so I can compare. Battered like we did the dandelion scones, or the clover fritters might be awsome, do a video on that and tell me if you do, I would watch that for sure. thank You.

One more treat for the larder ! It just goes to show how one need to follow the different cycles of development very closely. Different parts become edible at different times.

@joe2trees I never saw this post, sometimes zach comes on and looks at them and then they dont show as highlighted in the comment box and I miss something. What you are saying is so true, today here now its 92 degrees, and its been maybe 2 weeks since we looked at that cattail pollen at the bigger lake, those were the wide bladed cattails and I need to go check them but its 92 and humid, and the canoe ride would be nice but loading it wouldnt lol lol I want to get a gallon of the pollen.

@JoeandZachSurvival Do you have any wild rice in your area ?

[JoeandZachSurvival]

@joe2trees Yes, well not here by the house, but up at the tent there is wild rice right on that lake, and thats far northern MN, if you come about 100 miles south of that most lakes have it, in fact the department of natural resources has signs at the landings telling you how you need a permit to harvest wild rice in any quantity. Wild riceing is a big deal here and there are companies that have huge areas where they dry it out in the sun before processing.
