Burdock. Eating the stems and stalks. Wild Edibles.

Cool Joe, thanks for sharing and Take Care my friend :-))

Very cool again Joe! ...fantastic. Have a great Day, Sepp

Haven't tried the burdock stems, but I do regularly eat thistle. Thanks for the info. Boiling up burdock root in the fall is a little tradition. Can be some effort digging those roots out depending on the soil.

the roots are much better!

you take the young leaves skrape and then bowel then taken and put in egg and flower frie  and then eat.

how can I tell if its a first year or second year burdock?

burdock is a very bitter plant.....i never got to eat the roots.....i know that they taste a whole lot better either breaded and fried or steamed or boiled.....raw they r kinda....bleh.....also try violet leave and flower..and also another good one is sour dock aka curly dock or mustard dock.....very interesting plant.....plz look them up before just going out and just eating things off the ground..lol...and plz god don't mix up plants...i did and almost poisoned myself

I tried making juice from the leaves once it was terrible no matter how much sugar you put in it it would make you wanna make that face they do in cartoons when someone eats a lemon

Thank you for your informative video. What a joy to come upon people who are interested in natures bounties. You are so appreciated for your time and talents. God bless you and your loved ones!

fyi....the leaves are great for burns....you wrap the wound with the leaf and the burn will completely disappear...

me and my sister dig the roots and bake them with sugar..yummy good!

what is the nae and the author of the weed plant book

burdock looks like dock except with burs... wonder how it got its name

to eat the stem boil it and roll it in egg &flour

I like boiling the leaves and putting onion soup mix in it taste just like greens

We boil the stalk roll in egg and flour and fry called Cardone

I just found this plant in the park next to me. It grows like crazy I will be sure to eat some tomorrow.

i like your way of diving in there and trying it. ive been doing that for a few years myself now. i made a stirfry of burdock roots, lambs quarters, violets, wild mustard, wild garlic leaves, and wild onion greens,a rose blossum , a dandoline flower, and poormans pepper leaves. a tad of bacon grease and a pinch of chicken bullion and wow! i will have to try the stalks. i froze a bunch of roots up.might try canning them in the future. i can up lambs quarters and use in place of spinach.

Needs to be cooked

I enjoyed your videos. So no- nonsense & straight to the point. Thank you.

great video

Good info!

Are the leaves good in a salad?

we par boil ng stems and roll them in flour and then egg and fry. Our family (Italian) has picked this plant for generations and we do it in spring with all the families participating. The men pick them and the women clean them and then are divided among the family. This vegetable is eaten during the holidays and on birthdays. I could remember as a kid my grandfather would hunt ground hog while picking the burdock. Spring ground hog is also tastey

Thank you

Thanks for the video! I had some wild growing plants in my back yard and field that I just discovered is burdock and I am super excited! Eating as well as medicinal for sores and other skin issues. Do you have any videos on a specific poultice recipe?

Great video and information. I love to eat those wild edibles. Thank you so much for this great information

does anybody know if you can choose does anybody know if you can choose the fresh leaves

Juice

how you didn't boil it to give us a review on what it would taste like as a tea?

Dude...just say it...it tastes like shit.

生は無理だ～

Where do you live. I'm in S. California where can I find it.

Thank you for sharing this.

Roll them in egg and flour and deep fry...Almost taste like fried oysters..

Are there any plants that look similar to burdock that might poison you?

Hi, do the stalks have any health benefits comparing to the roots?

I’m in zone 6b already having some pop up. Im too much of a beginner plus it’s probably too early in the season to know if it’s a first or second year plant. I pulled out some roots yesterday and letting them dry out to make tea. I do hope they are the correct year plant so I can get the benefit.

Hi how can I get in touch with you about this plant ..

I clean the stems ,  cut them into 2 inch pieces and par boil them. When they cool down some , I mix them with egg , flour , parm. cheese , garlic powder , salt , and pepper . The mixture should be not to thick and not to thin.   Fry in butter and olive oil . I am making this now.

Burdock is a powerful heavy metal reducer. Root taste better when fresh like most plants. Leaves are more bitter than Dandelion. Make a deep raised bed 2 foot of dirt and that is how long your root will be in just a couple months.

Do not cheap out on raised beds, everything grows better, yield, quality and looks. Less weeding too.

How do you tell the difference between burdock and rhubarb?

Thanks for the video. The voice is low volume.

You didn't eat the leaves!

i grew up on these stems in an italian family . cut stems 3 inches boil ,drain 1 egg flour and water till like thick pancake mix and dump in the cooked stems and fry . one of my top 5 favorite meals .

Does burdock have very pointy thorns on the back of the leaf along the middle part ?

My burdock does not look that pretty, it’s more of a gray green but still very small plants so far

yuck!!

How do you harvest the burrs? Do you eat them?
