Foraging for Sumac with Chef Shawn Adler
/ @cbclife - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
This man knows his stuff and I love it
Loved this!!!! I love foraging sumac!!! And that tea looked amazing!
I remember reading in a book on flora and fauna about the North American variety being poisonous. Everyone used to call them bird food trees.
As an adult I travelled around a bit and learned to love them as a seasoning
Learned about the staghorn sumac last year since I saw it everywhere when I moved to where I live now. Can't wait for it to come back as I know what I'm looking at from the beginning now! Great video :)
I made the recipe and it’s delicious, such a nice change from sugary drinks, very refreshing and healthy! Thank you!
How would you describe it?
@@brainfreeze1925 like lemonade
Thank you so much for the info
Handed down to me from my elders : Sumac, Birch water, seasonal fruits and berries set for 24hrs A cheese cloth And squeeze out the water ...This was used as a cold tea Boiling it would destroy the very reason you drink it
Birch water? Do you tap the birch?
@@brainfreeze1925 no need to really tap it the way you would maple. Grandfather use to make a V - cut with a hunting knife Then make a small hole tapping the back of his knife above the V Then pull the V upwards making a spout The water would drip down the hole over the V And into a can he tied to the tree...After a few hours you would have about two mouth fulls of water..He would then Take a small branch And fill the hole So the tree would not lose its stored water Also remember This is in spring time Normally after a few rain falls And the perma frost is gone
Also have a wild chestnut tree thriving with dark green firm n shiny leaves with spiky round seed pods that grow then usually drop on ther own.
I just hve orderd a pot of dried sumac yesterday..l will mke sumac tea later..
That was cool
We consider this a weedy tree cus they spread everywhere
Man wish we had that here
Golden sumac is good to
So the seeds are basically impossible to germinate. If you can get one to grow, as I have, in a pot, it will put roots in the ground.
I yanked it up and moved it. And the root stayed in the ground. And now there's a new sumac growing from the old root, and another one inna pot
Awesome video! I’m wondering how do you wash sumac if it seems to fall apart in water? :) thanks!
i soak it in cold water for a few minutes before adding it to tea or sumac-ade. it usually gets rid of any bugs.
I have sumac on my property. I'm thinking to make some mead with it
Thanks. The zaatar is not a spice mix, it’s food. We create spread from zaatar mixture + olive oil then coat a toast bread slice, or bake on a dough like pizza. Yummmmm. Very good for cognitive abilities and memory
It’s both a spice mix and food
Do you wash them first??
Do you wash them before making the punch?
You should soak 1hr to kill any bugs or rwmove debris but try to just soak resit stirring place in cool for aprox 1hr strain pour into old T-shirt or cheese cloth wrap into secure ball tie with string(makes cleaning up a breeze) then rest of ingredients/ sugar&chopped raisins with strawberries lemon/orange slices is what i like pinch of salt
I brew on stove 15 minutes covered!
Then chill in freezer
Removing cover when cover feels cool let liquid fall into container (vitamins ect.)ready to enjoy
*use honey in place of sugar its great to!
F.y.i dehydrate the sumac and then save most of it and decant a little bit and makes this then add it the dehydrated parts to your smoothies;)
Dude HaBeeBee!! I probably got some of these plants at my farm! I
Is it legal to forage
mom told me they were poisonous! Been RIPPING them down! All this time using Za Atar spice which has the sumac , my favorite spice and has NO IDEA it could be the sumac in my yard. But these leaves grow a bit upwards they point up not straight across
Question what do you do if they have worms???
Not use the ones that do, if all of them do I'd recommend removing all the berries and drying them
Can staghorn sumac be dried and used for culinary purposes the way middle easterners use?
I remember reading that it was used as a spice by natives and colonial Americans.
At 01:05 he says it is used to make Zaatar, used in Middle Eastern cuisine.
So yes, it can.
Some people make drink with it similar to lemonade
Carolina Lomeli they use Rhus coriaria or Sicilian sumac
@@bushisback112 I soaked mine,,for a week,,,and put it in a blender,,,and sift
In cheese cloth,,but it has a smell to it,,and am afraid to drink as tea,, I was able to buy the seeds,in a middle eastern store,,
i saw some burgundy coloured sumac along the Don Valley Parkway, is this the same as the red stuff because i've heard some types are poisonous?
I know this is an old comment, but I recommend just finding out what variety you have and go from there. I have prairie flameleaf sumac near me and they are edible
@@aidensteel8024 thanks. i've been thinking to grab some of this stuff and need to focus on something clean. what i've tasted is a lot like lemon.
wow if in Indonesia itself this is a rare plant
What does staghorn sumac taste like?
Mix of cranberries and lemon
go. Have sumac? ON my property.
I grows wild n drop seeds n green tennis ball sized none spiky pods.
When you break them open they also smell citric.
N sorta oily.
Not sure if this specys is edible or not or just a nuisance weed that grows to tree size.?
A very rare plant in Indonesia, I really want the staghorn sumac
they look hard to clean, with all that fuss I feel like just out of the branch it may have some .. contaminants .. maybe, unwanted bugs perhaps
I see them all the time but they are purple here in Reading PA. I smell them they do smell like some wild herb. I taught there were some kind of Pollen. Inquiry mind will like to nkow.
Are all the wild sumac the same because I thought the wild sumac is poisonous?
There are several different trees called sumac. I believe they all have poisonous parts but the ones called poisonous sumac are totally different and are now considered to be in a different family. Poisonous sumac has little green or white berries. I believe all parts are poisonous to many animals so be careful with pets. If dogs chew on a sumac stick it will make them very sick
We all know the tea, what about making the spice for the self???
Sumac Tree Originally is From Iran Alborz Mountains and Not North America or Middle East
There are many different sumac species from different areas of the world
There is a North American variety that has been naturally occurring for thousands of years
I wish cbc would focus on stuff like this instead of woke propaganda
There's no such thing as prehistoric.
Tru
Sure is. Prior to recorded history.
History is often misrepresented anyway. There’s always 2 sides and then there’s the truth and the truth is always the hardest story to find
