have acres of it growing so i thought i would try some..
well it cooked allot like spinach boiled for about 12 minutes greatly reduces so ya need allot then strained it and added butter and a bit of lemon juice, as jim carrey once said "i've had better" i wasn't jumping for joy at this meal but if ya had too i guess i would eat more maybe i need to exsperiment with my methods

What about sprin beauties? have you tried them? I have alot of it here but have yet to try it,waiting for a good review of them before I do. I am picking wild asparagus right now.

[wareagle69]

yeah i read somewhere else that someone eat spring beauties i've got lots of those i just had not found any reference to the in my library so waiting on some of our experts to let me know

Never ate a bowl of them at once, but as I go along I like to nibble one or two. Quite tasty

spring beauties are sweet and yummy from what me and my daughter has nibble on now my oldest daughter hates them.but this is new to me
especially since i don't eat veggies.meat and potatoe man here.

Does anyone have any references that these items don't cause cancer or other problems? Just because the indians ate them does not mean they are safe.

The only warning I can find for Trout Lilly is that it may be mildly emetic (can cause vomiting).

As for Spring Beauties, I can't find any warnings.

As with any other wild edibles, I would consider where it is growing with relation to pollution.

[wareagle69]

it's the taste that makes it emetic in my mind

I tried Trout Lilly when I was out camping in the US and it made me feel really ill. Not sure if I was doing something wrong? I am from the UK. What do you expect...
