i like that you gave the tobacco offering.respect..I just got finished digging jeruselum artichoke im still sweating..lol ive dug the burdock for medicine but def going to try the root for food
It seems this guy is already quite busy owning two restaurants. As a former curriculum developer, it takes so much time! I just appreciate the knowledge gained thus far!
It's a Native American tradition. You always give back when you take from the earth. I've went out without meaning to find anything and didn't have tobacco on me so I left my own hair strand in respect and thanks.
Daa-yum!! How many times did I enjoy eating gobō while in Japan, not even knowing that it’s a ubiquitous and noxious weed here! I could walk 500 m in any direction where I live here and harvest some. I see this in my future, as my Japanese wife is now aware of this and is searching other recipes as I type this.
It's a liver tonic and a kidney tonic. It's also known to have a lot of antioxidants and probiotic properties. Its kind of a Jack of all Trades in what it can treat by helping you better process toxins and by overall boosting your immune system.
How funny. I wasn’t familiar with this as a vegetable until I got turned into a manga called “What did you eat yesterday”. (It’s half Japanese cookbook). This is a wonderful video on preparation. Thank you for this!
Rare minerals are the major gain you should make sure the environment is clean from where you pick it as the roots will absorb any poisons or toxins left by man
I heard you say burdock does not resemble any other plants. There is a plant that is often confused with burdock and also likes to grow together with burdock and is highly toxic ! I hope you're not misidentifying and serving Nightshade Belladonna in your restaurants.
@@bonniekrause-gams1769 the other plant is Atropa belladonna, aka the Belladonna or the deadly nightshade. It is a member of the Solanaceae family, referred to broadly as the nightshades. This is the same family from which potatoes, tomatoes and even eggplants come from-- but it contains several highly poisonous cousins. I live in Ontario and the two that I have run into here were the bittersweet nightshade and the aforementioned belladonna, though I know about 8 species of Nightshades that occur throughout Canada. In my personal opinion it takes a pretty crummy eye to misidentify burdock as Atropa belladonna because all of their features differ in some way or other, and specimens appear visually distinguishable to a practicing eye. Keep a field guide with pictures of the aforementioned plants and it is almost night and day in terms of identifying them, especially when the burdock begins producing burrs compared the the belladonna's slightly scary looking black berries of death. In fact I have gone out foraging with my little cousin over the last few years, and they too have been able to distinguish Nightshade plants from the other foragables. There is tons of information out there, academic resources and such available for free that you can read up on to learn more about them, definitely helps if you go foraging.
@@kunal9545 O.K. Just going by what I read on 2 or 3 other websites. Maybe they are referring to the juvenile plants before any stalks appear. Thanks for the clarification Kunal.

I've never heard of that tobacco offering. You mean you just put tobacco in the ground?
You should develop a course for the Ontario curriculum! All children should have a better understanding of their local ecosystem!
Sounds good but be aware children should avoid consuming burdock
Agreed. Or an online course for everyone around the globe.

Thank you for giving your offering. Aho.
Great info, thank you! Curious..What was the tobacco symbolic for?

@@corrinenolan344 so when I find a couple of the wife's hairs in my dinner plate of food she's actually showing me respect
@@corrinenolan344 *THANK YOU.

Can't wait to try this out next summer.
Awesome! Talk about motivation to weed my garden! What are the medicinal properties of the woody root?
It's a liver tonic and a kidney tonic. It's also known to have a lot of antioxidants and probiotic properties. Its kind of a Jack of all Trades in what it can treat by helping you better process toxins and by overall boosting your immune system.
Amazing info here, thanks for sharing!

absolute weimar
I made the mistake of letting this grow along a garden fence to help keep the deer out. Now I have it growing all over the garden!!!
free food!
Can I buy some?
Lucky you
I like cooking burdock root in onions garlic and butter 😋
Can you eat the leaves and stem or just the root?
peeled petioles and flower stalks are edible
Wow. ..amazing! ❤
Always looks for wild edible stuff
Dr sebi talked highly of burdock root for its natural and alkaline properties
love those pink glasses
Is it more calories than you'd lose while digging it out
Rare minerals are the major gain you should make sure the environment is clean from where you pick it as the roots will absorb any poisons or toxins left by man
for wild roots in cold climates burdock is probably most economical calories after cattail
Double braids and pink glasses. Hot.
when I first saw him I lol'd, but the series is super cool
Maybe instead of sprinkling tobacco, you should sprinkle burdock seeds to replace what you've taken.
Tobacco is a traditional Indigenous act of respect towards nature when you take from the Earth.
This annoyed me . Because it came off judgmental and you really just didn’t understand the act of respect
Bad method .. you should do it all around the root with a dandelion remover and a hammer

The nightshade belladonna and burdock don’t even closely resemble each other
