I grew up in SE PA and we foraged for lots of food items.
Young Cat tail shoots, sauteed in butter and garlic (Cossack Asparagus)
Sumac Berries - lemon aide
Ground Cherries (Tomatillos) - jelly and salsa
Asparagus-mark the plumes in the summer and come back in the early spring
Jewelweed seeds - taste like black walnuts
Sassafras root- tea
that's all I can remember. I know there was more. |
