They are available year round as long as they are two years old (they aren't large enough until the second year.) I have an article on them on my website.
I'm so glad you did another video on this plant. I've been wanting one since 2002 when I first heard about them. I would love to try them in my garden!
Well... there really isn't a comprehensive guide as you ask.. but there are two books.... One old one available use is "Wild Plants for Survivial in South Florida" by Julia Morton, and Surviving the Wilds of Florida by Reid Tillery. As for plants, my website is probably the best place for Florida plants.
to add more... what I don't know is whether the latex in figs, natal plums, groundnuts and wild lettuce is the same as the latex in gloves and the llike.
Hi Deane, Another great video!!! On the subject of protease inhibitors, eating large amounts of these will inhibit digestion (we have lots of proteases for digesting our food). This may perhaps explain the gassy effect. I think you might expect severe constipation as a possible consequence of eating them raw too.
Believe it or not I have not found Apios americana in the northern adirondacks. I am in the northern adk's very near the border. I think there here but so far not found them.
Hey again Green Deane. I'll be asking this question on a lot of videos so apologizes in advanced haha. When is a good time to harvest groundnuts? Would late August be alright?
I noticed that you boil them before you put them in the dish. Is this necessary? Is it about changing the cooking water to get rid of some of the problems?
Thanks.,...They've been called groundnuts since at least 1787. Hopniss is an anglicized version of six similar Indian names. Personally I refer to them as Apios. Most references call them groundnuts while one author I know prefers hopniss. I've never heard peanuts called groundnuts though it makes sense.
If I remember corretly protease inhibitors are emzymes that cut the viruses thus preventing them from reproducing, so something like that. I think that main one was a trypsin inhibitor.
While they are called goundnuts, the part you eat is actually a tuber, and it grows in a string underground. The leaves resemble poisons ivy. I have an article about them on my website and pictures.
Protease inhibitors are medical-scientific for protein enzyme-eating (digesting) inhibitors. Eating protein and digesting it is overruled. Protease is found in health food stores as a digestive enzyme. So cook out/down the protease and you can metabolize the product.
And a hellion.... I'm still finding olives in the house....he was an orphan -- got him off the street as a wee kitten --but the vet says he is a red point siamese or something like that. If you want to see him as a kitten go to You Tube and search for Oliver Whitecat
No offense, but calling them groundnuts might fly in America, but much of the world refers to peanuts as groundnuts. Just sayin, but I still love your channel and respect your knowledge.

Thank you for your time and great information. Greatly appreciated.

Good. I know they are quite plentiful around the Great Lakes area.
Excellent recipe!
Best one yet Deane. I loved it!

i'm going to try it soon.
Thanks for the info
that's a well setup kitchen deane.
thanks for the vid!!!

@kingcollie No, it takes two years to put on a "nut" so when ever you find them large enough is okay.
Fantastic video.
How long do you cook the root in the first step?
love your vids, thank you so much for all the great info.

man, if there was ever an apocalyptic disaster, your the first guy id try to meet lol
Hey again Green Deane. I'll be asking this question on a lot of videos so apologizes in advanced haha. When is a good time to harvest groundnuts? Would late August be alright?
Thanks! I just now went and checked it out. I think it looks a ltttle more appetizing fried than it does boiled:)
The nuts grow under ground? So what if any do the leaves look like?
I noticed that you boil them before you put them in the dish. Is this necessary? Is it about changing the cooking water to get rid of some of the problems?
Can the beans be cooked like snap beans?
Thanks, I'm slowly getting better.
@Milkman12114 I you go to my website I have pictures. Its a vine that resembles poison ivy except it has leafets of three or five or seven.
Is it real latex? Should those who are sensitive to latex avoid ground nuts?

Can people with latex sensitivity eat this/

Well... how far north? If you go to my website I give a history involving groundnuts in New York.. Yes, they grow into Canada.

Got some seeds, I wish I know how to plant them.
I showed that in the first video, #47.
I was just curious about Apios americana in novel WALDEN, but now I want to eat Apios americana. However, I'm just sad that I can't get this...
Thanks.... it's take a while to get all the toys... actually I like restaurant grade equipment....
They are quite nice fried, but you should boil them first.
You've got to look in wet spots, along streams and the like.

It tastes far better than it looks.

Plant latex is different than industrial latex. Figs, for example, have latex.
The green one has many many kitchen lives
ahhhh guten apetite
KInd of a cross between a potato and a mild turnip.
I don't know, but I would be careful...
Better than anchovys, which I like also. In fact, there is no food I won't eat. I am a true omnivore.
Like potatoes, 30 or 40 minutes....
speed keels.
look for the ones about the size of a goof ball.
The groundnut looks like taro.
The size is very different. Groundnut is more often egg size or less.
@@greendeane1 do they taste like taros cause there are two types of taros?
ohh no not olives , looks nice , take the olives out tho :)
