You can also eat black locust.
I heard that too. So the flowers are edible and the outer skin of the bean should be edible, the bark, seeds, and leaves of black locust trees contain poisonous compounds called toxalbumins. If you are foraging for honey locust and don’t pay attention and find black locust, that could appear to a big problem.
@@foragingandcookingwithkids Look at the thorns. Black locust only have one or two really big ones. Honey locust is a node of Thorns. You see the difference once it like riding a bike. Black locust also fixes nitrogen and is fantastic for wood working. Most people use them for fence posts.
@Giganfan2k1 very nice. I like that fact.
We learn a lot from each other. Thank you
And you are right, for a trained eyes it’s very easy to see, but not for the non-trained eyes. I’m glad you teach with about that fact ❤️
I don't explain the amount used for each ingredient
Oh it’s is all properly explained in the video not in the short. czcams.com/video/k1tvbaS4myI/video.htmlsi=YufYifbNsKkqlkgU That’s the video where the amounts are explained.
Oh my goodness, I love the combination of learning amazing things about plants while listening to this beautiful song and the adorable voices of the children. I'm so glad I decided to go looking for locust bean videos today. Thanks for warming my heart. ❤️🌻🌿
Thank you for you beautiful words 🥰
Why not use the stalks? They are easier to handle, wash and cut and have more flesh per volume. I'd say they taste like carrots. Maybe young unpeeled ones. I've not eaten parsley.
Interesting. Well I got thought to use the leaves, like I use other herbs. But yea you are right, why not using all of it. Good one. Thank you. Tast like carrot? That is interesting aswell. I hope you enjoy them like we do ❤️❤️
Cloud Peak is amazing.
One of our favorite spots on earth ❤️ home ❤️
Crazy woman canyon is amazingly beautiful as well, but not as much diverse fungus there.
The Tongue River canyon too ❤️ Not many mushrooms but a lot of other wild food ❤️
Love Meadow Lark for Mushrooms, 🍄 love the Big Horns.
❤️❤️❤️
Sounds delightfully healthy
Dry it in dehydrator
That’s a good idea too 👍🏻 thank you
❤❤❤❤❤ I love this ..I been having duckweed in my pool for years I had goldfish in my pool big lol but I took out the duck weed then my fish started to die I didn't know it's was there food I put it back in now I got a ton of frogs 😅 I want to eat it also thanks for helping me learn more about it as a food high in protein 😊 I loved your video ❤❤ thanks for sharing 😊
You are very welcome. 🥰 thank you for sharing your story ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing this today I was looking out the window wondering what can be done with the ones in my front yard .
A beautiful day!!
Everyday is a beautiful day ❤️❤️
How did you sterilize the duckweed from pond? Did you just boil it for 5 minutes?
Yes, wash very thoroughly and a rolling boil for a minimum of 5 minutes. 😊
Can you eat then raw?
Actually yes! In the summer time the green seeds are edible raw or cooked. I hope I will be able to make a video this summer to demonstrate it for you.
@foragingandcookingwithkids thank you, I really appreciate it.
The seeds are poisonous! Do you boil them with seeds inside and mill them afterwards? Wouldn't this risk getting the seeds in the final product?
Seeds are in many different berries poisonous. We will not consume the seeds. Yes I cook the seeds with in the berry but mill them all out after they are cooked. They are not getting crushed in a berry mill. So it is totally safe to do it this way. They are only poisonous when you consume the seeds. But thank you for your concern and questions.
@@foragingandcookingwithkids thank you for the reply. 😊
@@ArnookieVR anytime
❤ INDIAN DAL CURRY WITH DUCKWEED...❤
That sounds amazing ❤️ thank you
Is there really such Reipe exist? I want to consume as a lot of duckweed grows on my water plant.
In winter has to sit twice as long. U gota see the bubbles on the inside of the jar
Thank you
Some honey locust history that might interest you, courtesy of Bing AI: The carob tree, also known as “il pane di San Giovanni” (St. John’s bread) in Sicily, has a fascinating connection to the Biblical wilderness food consumed by certain prophets. According to the Bible, St. John the Baptist survived in the desert by eating locusts and wild honey. The reference states: “And John was clothed with camel’s hair and with a girdle of skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey” (Mark 1:6). Similarly, in the Gospel of Matthew (3:4), it is mentioned that his sustenance was “locusts and wild honey.” Interestingly, the “wild honey” referred to in these passages is believed to be carob. The carob tree’s fruit, which grows abundantly in Sicily, has been a source of nourishment for humans since ancient times. The Sicilian name “il pane di San Giovanni” directly translates to “St. John’s bread,” emphasizing this connection. Legend has it that St. John consumed the seeds of the carob tree during his time in the desert. The carob tree is also sometimes called the “locust tree” because locusts are attracted to it. Therefore, the Biblical reference to locusts could very well be alluding to carob pods. Additionally, in the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 16:15), there is mention of husks that the prodigal son desired to eat, which could also be a reference to carob. In modern-day Sicily, carob is ground into a thick-textured flour used in various culinary applications. It features prominently in the production of biscuits, certain types of Modican chocolate, and local cough sweets. The flour is even used to make traditional pasta shapes called “lolli.” So, the humble carob continues to play a significant role in both historical and contemporary Sicilian cuisine! 🌿🍯🍞
Wow that’s is absolutely amazing ❤️❤️thank you so much for those informations, that is very interesting
Your information is about a different plant species! Carob does NOT = Honey locust..
I use the Honey Locust pods with my hops when making Beer.
Oh wow how cool is that?!? How do you use it?
is this eastern red cedar? That's what I have on my property. Also has the word Virginian on it What juniper berry plant are you working with?
I’m working with Rocky Mountains Juniper and Common Juniper Here is the Easter red cedar vs Rocky Mountain juniper exclamation from the US National park service “Rocky Mountain juniper can be distinguished from Eastern red cedar by its blunt leaves that do not overlap. Also, Rocky Mountain junipers tend to be smaller than Eastern red cedars.” They are very similar though. But the best to make no mistakes, use the common Juniper. That’s the safest when you are not sure.
can you get these benefits if you smoke the dried juniper foliage or wood?
I do not think so. I Never heard of smoking it. I know you can use the wood and smock meat with it.
Im excited to try this! Thanks! Do you dehydrate them? And would this recipe be hood with dried berries?
Yes I dehydrate them too, dry berries work perfect too. ❤️
But make sure to not bite on them , lots of people don’t like the strong flavor. Use it as a spice.
What type of food mill did you use to filter out the seeds?
Weston stainless steal food mill. I like that company a lot.
@@foragingandcookingwithkids any special model you can reference? Thanks for the help. I have at least 2 gallons of berries and want to get more.
a.co/d/48Jl6rp That link brings is you Amazon. This is the one I got a long time ago. Affordable and it is getting the job done, but there are so many different kinds out now, even electronic mills.
How many seeds are there per berry ? The one I have has three per berry.
The number of seeds depending on the species. Most have three to five seeds.
Great job! 💖😊
Thank you 🙏🏼❤️
@@foragingandcookingwithkids your welcome 🤗💖
These trees are more commonly known in North America as Buckeye trees. The nonedible nut looks like the eye of a buck, or male deer. It is the State Tree of Ohio. Ohio State University’s mascot is the Buckeye, and on the unique state flag of Ohio you can see a stylized Buckeye. There is also a very tasty & popular candy called Buckeyes, which are made to look like the nonedible nut. First we make the center, which is a powdered sugar and peanut butter-based ball. We refrigerate these on wax paper covered trays. Then we melt chocolate, and dip the peanut butter balls 3/4 way into the chocolate. Then we set them back on the wax paper covered trays and let them cool. They are so yummy! If you look up Buckeye recipes I’m sure you will find many variations. But I am really thankful to you for letting me know that Buckeyes can make laundry soap! Thank you very much! I am completely convinced that there is a good use and purpose for everything in Nature, and I appreciate you sharing about this tree!
Wow interesting ❤️ thank you. We learn together everyday something new. I appreciate your informations. And I will try that candy recipe out. That sounds pretty amazing and I’m sure my kids will love it.
Thank you 🙏 very interesting ❤
You are very welcome ❤️
Thank you for your support ❤️
Can you make an extract out of those
Yes indeed you can, out of the spines and or leaves. There different kind of recipes out there. You are also able to purchase some online.
How much a day for medicinal purposes?
You can make or buy a hawthorn tincture. You use 8-10 drops under your tongue three times daily.
@foragingandcookingwithkids Blessings in EMANUEL Thankyou
@@dominicbeckler5360 you are very welcome. Stay healthy❤️
Recently I moved to Longmont, CO, and there is a huge locust tree in the front yard. The seed pods have fallen all over the driveway, making a bumpy, sticky mess. Thank you so much for posting this very helpful video. I'll try these recipes! As an aside, might you know how to remove the debris that is stuck to my driveway?🍁
Oh yes, nature can leave a big mess on our driveways in fall. I know that you can remove stick residue like sap from our hands amazing with peanut butter. So a concrete degreaser should work I think. But I’m not 100% sure. We only pressure wash our driveway and that takes most of the fall stickiness away.
Love this👍
Thank you ❤️
Duckweed grows like weed. If you really believe in the nutrition value, why don't you grow them yourself? Start by purchasing some clean culture from lab and either use gel culture or any other medium that's easy to sterilize and maintain.It'd be easier to clean. Takes up less energy and produce a lot less waste. And the biggest gain, avoiding risks of getting sick from pond germs and parasites.
That is very true, you could just buy it and grow it at home with no problems of germs and eat it raw out of your own grow at home. But how many people and kids even know that you can eat it? That is my purpose in my channel to show what in the wild you actually can eat and how to prepare it when you find it. Check out my channel to understand what I mean. Thank you
This is very interesting. Thank you for sharing my friend.
You are welcome 🥰
I'm very late, but to grow duckweed the water needs to contain nutrients. Its growth depends on the amount of nutrients in the water, sunlight and warmth. Sunlight and warmth is good in the window sill. But clean water helps it grow just as much as pure water, without food, helps us grow.
Absolutely stunning my friend...Your filming and editing are getting better and better.. I'm transported ❤
You are so sweet, thank you. I had to learn a lot and still learning.
yeah a lot of people dont eat bacon or pork
Good job, as usual. One suggestion: the music was as loud as your voice and at times I couldn't hear what you were saying and relied on Closed Captions. Not sure it adds anything we won't live without.
Oh I apologize, I will pay better attention next time. Thank you for letting me know. Thank you 😊
I Hope you right a cookbook 😊😊😊😊
Aww thank you 😊 I had it in my mind and maybe one day I will. Thank you ❤️

I hope you will find some. Let me know when you did. 🍇
I just made 3 gallons of dock kimchee. Versatile.
Yayyy ❤️ I love it. I bet It was delicious
@@foragingandcookingwithkids I'll find out in a month when it's done fermenting. The person I got the idea from guarantees it is.
@@gphx please keep us updated.
@@foragingandcookingwithkids Update as requested: I used stronger tasting big leaves because they were quicker to pick and it was hot outside. Didn't even bother to pull off every bit of stem. Supposedly, I did everything 'wrong'. Early tastings reminded me of what I'd imagine tough tobacco leaves taste like. I was getting really doubtful. After a month the taste and texture have completely mellowed to the point it's similar to three gallons of satiny cooked lamb's quarters with a touch of tang. I love it and I'm so glad I leaped and made so much. Maybe a good video idea for you and/or fun for the kids.
THATS AMAZING. I’m happy that it turned out so good for you. What a blessing. We will try something like that out next time. Thank you so much.
Ditto ❤ I love your scenery also in your videos. ❤️
Love the scenery there!
that's actually so cool
Nice video. I’ll try and make some this week. Watching from New Zealand. 🇳🇿
Hello Friends... love your narrative style so friendly, inviting.. So much fun and educational...
Thank you my friend 🥰
I feed my fish duckweed all the time, it never accured to me to eat it aswell. I might try it in a potato salad.
Yes 💕 and it is healthy too.
@@foragingandcookingwithkids, what's the texture and flavor of duckweed?
@nothingbutpain863 I would describe it as a grassy earth but good flavor. But the flavor changes from crop to crop, if you collect it from the wild. Sometimes stronger sometimes less strong. If you grow it at home, you control the nutrients in the wild we don’t have the control. The texture is more soft, smooth and tender if you eat it raw (home grown) cooked it is more soft like a cooked leaf. I hope that that makes sense 🙈
Carbonic acid is a very weak acid. It is a buffered chemical that will neutralize strong acids into the perfect blood ph level 7.34. Carbonic acid is the carbon dioxide mixed in with water. It is also healthy for plants. Gardeners could potentially make a big batch of that and reduce extreme acidity or extreme alkalinity in their soils. Thank you for the very informative video.
Oh I thank you, for even more information. We never stop learning. I appreciate you. Thank you
