Thanks for sharing. It's really amazing the amount of food that grows out in the wild once you learn what to look for. I grew up in Maryland and was not familiar with this, I'll have to look for it when I visit the Southeast.

Definitely, it's just a matter of going out and making acquaintance with your surroundings. The forests are like school, they always have something to teach!

Thanks for watching, I hope you find some when you go looking.
