What I've learned over the past 8 years since I harvested my first wapato: harvest the tubers in Oct, it doesn't matter if the plants are visible. Find the plants, dig a roughly 1 ft x 1 ft hole, then hollow out the hole. The layer of mud the tubers are located in is generally about 8 inches below the surface. I've watched Sam Thayer pull 20-30 tubers from a single hole.
After the harvesting demonstration I go over a few simple ways to cook them. Simmering with pulled bison or venison, or adding to soup is probably my favorite. Lots more in the post linked above.
You're channel is probably the best I've ever seen in showing how to make forageables really shine. Amazing work!
Thanks, appreciate that.
Great Content, I love your work.
Hey thanks. A lot of work.
it's a real privilege to have all this wonderful info in such a concise and digestible form. 'preciate you Alan! now to borrow a niece and nephew or two for the harvesting process... >:)
Hey thanks. This one was a ton of work. So much mud 😂. Def recommend employing friends to help.
"Alien and potato had a baby" 😂
LOL. Kinda look like facehuggers though.
ive never seen the actual plant before, so cool :o
Amazing - Thanks as always for teaching me something new!
just like on hunger games
Yes the plant is where she gets her name and MO. Saggitaria latifolia, referring to the archer. Katniss is just one of the common name.
*I know why u are here*
ps. great video!
Thanks. Such a cool plant.
woah
The skin is so thin I've found they can be peeled simply by scrubbing them with an abrasive pad. I think this results in less waste than cutting off the skin.
It’s also a lot more work. At the reservation we peeled them with a knife.
@foragerchef4141 Oh, for me it felt like less work. Your videos are wonderful by the way.
Dude :)
Pretty fun eh?😊
yeah I worked in a town called Wapato in WA, I am wondering now if they grow there @@foragerchef4141
The protagonist name in da unger Games imeans "rat potat"
Katniss Everdeen. They're referring to katniss here, which is one of the common names for Saggitaria latifolia, coming from Saggitarius, the archer. It is referring to arrows and archery, to be certain.
