chew on em every week while out hiking the rivers.. usually wild onions too. and maulberrys if a tree or bush is in season. various shrooms as well. but those need cooked. Indiana wildlife sucks, but we got all the good plants.

Yes we had it along with many, many fruit trees, berries, herbs, plants, roots around our property in Ohio, many just growing wild in the fields.

My favorite however was the spearmint that grew along the creek in our yard! If you just picked the leaves it smelled better than a box of spearmint gum.

Made great tea!
