How to identify, harvest, and safely prepare Marsh Marigold. I'm not sure why I kept saying March, it comes up in April here. • Marsh Marigold or Cowslip Facts: • Marsh Marigold is easy to identify resulting in little confusion. • It is an early spring riser and can endure frost so it's often one of the plants you see first. • The leaves are kidney shaped with a deep cut where the stem attaches. • The flowers are bright yellow. • Marsh Marigold grow creek side and on flood plains in partial shade. • The ideal time to harvest is when the plant is small right up until the flowers have finished blooming. After flowering has finished, they will be past their peak. • Both the leaves and flower buds can be eaten. • The whole lot must be boiled however to be made safe, • The raw leaves are acrid and not good to eat as they contain a toxin which is only rendered safe through boiling. • Be sure to collect a bunch as it shrinks considerably during cooking. • To make March Marigold edible, bring the leaves to boil for 20-40 minutes. Ideally, the water is changed out 2 or 3 times between boilings and discarded. • Serve as a green mush with butter and salt. • While marsh marigold is edible, sprouts early and is abundant, it's not usually ranked terribly high in palatability. • Use code WoodBeard to get 10% off ASAT Camo: www.asatcamo.com • Merch (t-shirts): https://teespring.com/stores/the-wood...
