Hoping for Companies that sell wild foods.
« on: August 23, 2020, 09:10:49 AM »
Anyone know of any companies that sell stuff like this.
I like Ginger , and there is thousands of species
would be nice to have some samplings before I try to grow them out.

Same with things that can be kept small, and made into tea's
Just recent in winter Really got into Mexican Hawthorn ( Tejocotes)
Sugar brings out the taste (has a Vanilla taste to it).

Would love to try some of the wild forged stuff in Florida In the rose/apple family , and would pay
like Fire thorn  (Pyracantha ) In Southern USA .

I make wine so It would be nice to get some Annona Glabra to experiment (pond apple)
Some of the bad flavors turn out good after the molecules bind over time .

I am posting because I have a need , and I am sure some people may want to make money as well.
If I can find a plant that doesn't get to big, and make tea or even move it to
New orleans Where I can pick it when I visit I will be great full
 (I didn't learn any plants down that way except cats claw..)

Oh, and any books for forging you could recommend Florida
Kind of difficult reading online, and trying to find these in the field

I did see Ethnobotany of Florida  , but it's $250 I do not want to spend I'm so far anyways.
I'd search , but  in my experience these books, can be hit or miss.

By the way Would love to try some HAck berries native to Arizona
I know thjey have a large seed , but It is a curiosity

I will have to think of more
I did find  a Australian  bush food company so I will have to try that.

would also very much so to try Mustang grapes
already had Muscadines I really like those, but I am not made of money
My friend would pay a good price for those

He has been Bothering me for 2 years them Ate them as a kid.

Oh, and curious of other native grapes
I do make wine you know

Some species have had some off flavors, I'd like tlo try to blend with them
or not ferment on the skins as much like I have before ( Vitis Riparia river bank grape)
(If they end up having a odd taste or something.)

Sideroxylon (Bumelia ) heard it is grown as a street tree in HAwaii
Very interested in what those berries taste as well
(if flavorless like hawthorn still interested sugar may bring out the flavor  drying or something other.)
