seeds, nuts,berries, and edible plants.

16 years ago

Today i found some type of seed wrapped up in a paper like outer layer and an inside gritty cream colored paste with an almond looking seed in the center... i put the paste to my tongue and it tasted somewhat like a chokecherry. What is this seed from? can i eat it? also could anyone give me a link to where i can find a list of all edible plants/and or edible fruits that are native to utah ? Thanks!

I wouldn't go tasting things even ever so slightly that I don't know. That can go so wrong!

I included a link below to Michael Moore's (not the film maker!) Southwest School of Botanical Medicine site. I'm sure it will have some plant identification resources that may be of use to you.

I would strongly suggest that you go to your library and look at books of edible plants. Peterson publish one that looks like an identification guide. It also tells you what the dangers are. Never eat what you cannot identify. Same with mushrooms. Do a course first.

I would water the plants until you harvest to make sure that the plants are still as strong as possible while the seeds are filling out. Sunflowers don't require a lot of water, I would think once per week is plenty.
