If you like rap you might like Sergei Boutenko’s rap song about wild edibles:

Now there’s a great message! I wonder how often people take a chance on stuff like this?

Enjoy!

Did you know there are about 300 types of dandelions? And that there are no poisonous look-alikes? How do you tell them apart? Well, one thing is that if  the back of the main stem of the dandelion leaf is smooth rather than hairy or fuzzy, it’s probably a dandelion rather than one of its look-alikes. When I get around to stalking some of my own that will make me feel a whole lot better!

Sergei Boutenko hosts this 3 minute clip about dandelions and ends it with a demonstration of making dandelion pesto. Check it out:

If you’re looking to educate yourself about wild edibles, Sergei has a Wild Edibles Web App that you can register for at:

You’ve heard that dandelions are good to eat, but have you dared to do it yet? This 2 minute video from Boutenko Films might give you the courage you need:
