Down here in our portion of SE Louisiana we nearly lost all of our three-cornered-grass (scirpus olneyi) to salt water intrusion. With huge fresh water diversion projects built over the last 10 years, three-cornered-grass has rebounded with hundreds and hundreds of acres of this plant. We see muskrat numbers increasing. Wild hogs cannot resist the meal, exposing themselves in the stands, keeping our freezer full of fine pork. Geese and ducks love it. It is doing a great job of helping keep our marsh from eroding away.
Question; We've been told that the rhizome of this grass is edible. How do you harvest and clean it? Has anyone out there ever eaten it? How does it taste?
