    @ALETHEIA8881 He called it Eryngo, which is just another common name for sea-holly (Although it’s used moreso when talking about in-land species of Eryngium) ‘Eryngium’ is the genus that sea-holly comes from. You’d be better off just asking for sea-holly root if you were going to ask in a market.

  3. ALETHEIA8881 says:

    Hi there, thank you for this lovely video… at 4:32 the sea holly you say the root was used for sweat dessert, i didnt catch what you called the root, could i bother you for the name… i would like to find some and try….
    Thank you

    Our phobia about wild edibles is largely unfounded. With very few exceptions, plants that contain harmful phyto chemicals give off a bitter or acrid taste. The compounds in plants have evolved for defense agains predation from insects to humans, making taste an important primary defense. In fact, plants that taste good to us and others have evolved t use us as a means of spreading their seeds. If plant toxins were so pervasive, kids would be dropping like flies.

    In scouts they never told us about that, although it’s probably a good idea to tell kids never to eat anything growing outdoors. It’s fun imagining all the things we must have eaten over the last few hundreds of thousands of years before industry changed things and limited us to just a relative few different fruits and vegetables.

    Take a look in a bag of salad Spring Mix and you realize there must be thousands of things you could eat just walking along a trail.

  7. tyler0896 says:

    Lately I’ve been sort of fascinated by this type of thing.

    I’m surprised Wales has rivers that look like that (I’m american but I’ve been there). It looks distinctly south american.

    urine is clean when it comes out… so it’s ok to drink, but won’t bring much hydration. And as for eating animals or plants when in the wild…plants are easier to catch!!!

  24. adventuresocal says:

    I’m confident that I’d end up with a bloated belly, dead in the wild if I attempted to differentiate and eat what I believed to be edible plants. I think you really need to know what you are doing to eat wild plants.
