this is the common arisaema triphyllum. which part of the plant do you eat - leaves - stem or the tuber?

[Wolfwinterember]

@goerizal It's all explained in the video :-)

Have you really eaten these? Some say even after drying for months they are still will burn your mouth.

[Wolfwinterember]

@m005kennedy Yes I have eaten them many times. Some folks do have a sensitivity to them. Many people have sensitivities to many plants, wild and domestic and everyone should be aware of this when trying something new.

@Wolfwinterember Is this the same as what we call "Indian turnip" in north Georgia? I was told that Indian turnip would ruin your mouth for a while (days with swelling) unless you cooked it. Something to do with microscopic needle-like parts. People used to pull the old "Try this!" on folks. Thanks for posting.

@woodsinme -you caught me online. Yes it is also known as "Indian Turnip". Cooking it wiil NOT make it edible. Only through complete drying will the Oxylate Crystals be neutralized. Thanks for watching!

I have seen Jack in the Pulpit growing in the woods in southwestern Missouri in the Ozarks where we live. I regret that I never paid it much attention but I will from now on.

@brotherbear000 I have tried this but the Jack-in-the-pulpit is quite fragile, like most wild flowers. If you remove the plant from the bulb, the plant dies in short time. The plant cannot live without the root bulb.

[brotherbear000]

i dont think you would kill the plant if you carefully removed the bulb but didnt hurrt the plant. it just wouldnt seed.
