What can I eat in the woods?

In fact, there are many delicious and healthy things growing in the forest, especially in summer. Again, forest wealth depends on the regions where you live.

We have a hot southern region and, accordingly, do not grow as many mushrooms as we would like: blueberries, wild currant, blueberries, and I found a dream in exactly one place.

But, however, we still have some species of mushrooms, a sea of nettles, garlic cherry, grow blackberries and wild strawberries. You can also dig up burdock roots. But here too, the roots, because of the hot and dry climate grow long and fibrous. Although, as I understand it, in some regions burdock roots can be quite thick, juicy and tasty.

But we will proceed from the resources of our area. And in this video, I'm showing the cooking of the roots and petioles of our local burdocks.

But, as usual, you should not compare the taste of dishes from wild plants with the usual home cooking.

Yes, on the whole, it's delicious, but it's just as delicious as wild.

Also, firmly, in our usual diet prescribed dishes made of nettle.

Another of our favorite grasses is garlic and petiole. It tastes just as good as many herbs we grow in the garden.

I can't say I'm an experienced herbalist. But gradually, with each season, the knowledge bank grows.

This year I've studied a couple more interesting herbs! But I will tell about it in the next editions!

And, by the way, when going out into the forest, I like to chew plantain leaves, exactly one leaf clean (very bitter and considered poisonous and not suitable for internal use, although this is a controversial point).

And thanks to my research into the world of herbs, I am increasingly convinced that everything, absolutely all herbs, can be used one way or another. Even the poisonous ones. It's just that each herb has its own recipe, its own concentration.
