I've been meaning to (S. americanum) but the season is against me right now.

Which variety was that nightshade? I have one that popped up and I am anxious to check out the ripe fruit. The ripe fruit is supposed to have non-toxic levels of Solanine (same as a Tomato) and the leaves are supposed to be able to be prepared such that the Solanine leeches out too. Though I am not interested in the leaves. If you can tackle pokeweed and elderberry...please tackle nightshade/belladonna in a future video. :-)

What one can do on their own and what I can legally recommend can be different. I'm glad you're still among us.

I cooked some leaves from very large, mature plants yesterday. I am still alive people! I did 4 water changes to be safe. Cooked with olive oil, garlic, and other spices. It was a very good tasting green.

Thanks... calcium oxalate is an issue.... what rids on plant of it does not work on other plants. One just has to experiment.

Here in Turkey there is a lot of Arum dioscoridis; it's similar in property to Jack-in-the-Pulpit. People eat the leaves, but only after either long simmering, drying, or a fermentation process where they chop it up, mix it with water and some flower, cover it and let it sit a full day, then boil; it gets rid of the calcium oxylate crystals. You could try it w Jack-in-the-pulpit but do as they do here and try a very small bit first to check for any burning sensation.

i found out from a friend and my german neigbor. its wait for it "dock weed" just some of the most youngest leaves look like a guitar. but this isnt lemony as i have heard. maybe its because its just young. the taste similar to broccoli.

I am actually shocked to see someone look for these young plants. I have never in all my years seen this done this way. We always simply pick any leaves that we see. Of course we look for tender ones but not that tender,lol, looks good though. Also try the stem peeled and battered and deep fried and tell me what you thing. You will be pleasently surprised. Trust me on this. I cooked up some last week for my crippled freind who never had the stalk before and he loved it.
