I'm from Jones Country Mississippi and I've been doing research on my tribe Creek and see this is one of the main plants they used to eat. Along with acorns, hickory nuts, walnuts, pecans, persimmon, wild beans, raspberries, grape, and wild seed plants. Like most other tribes, they hunted fish, deer was common throughout ancient Mississippi.
Have you ever seen the saw palmetto berries in Mississippi I picked up a little berries every season I am willing to pay for information or willing to pay if you have a farm or permission from a land that has this berries which is saw palmetto berries they grow on Silver Palms also
I grew up eating this stuff my absolute favorite I always mixed it with a salad comes out really good. That stuff is good for so many things,improves hair growth,helps prevent prostate cancer,boosts muscle mass,helps Improve kidney health ECT.. The list just goes on and on. Really good stuff!! Thanks for sharing this brother!!
Hey BMS, I love palm Hearts. I went to a Birthday Party for one of the ranchers nearby and they made cabbage palm stew. It was amazing. Between the home Grown black Angus brisket and the stew I was one fat happy puppy... Thank for watching my man
Looks like you would never run out of food where those grow. Pretty much all over Florida and good to eat year round ? A very beneficial plant . Thanks for another great show.
It is plentiful. But it's protected. This was on private property so thats why I was able to do this demo. There is also a permit one can obtain to harvest the berries for prostate treatments.
My neighbors always killed them all when ever a property was developed so they could plant landscaping palms that provide no food for people or animals
In Okeechobee, Fl there are some restaurants that serve "Swamp Cabbage" which is a sort of cole slaw recipe for hearts of saw palmetto. It's quite good.
One of the ranchers out here I am good friends with had a huge birthday party. They swamp cabbage stew with home grown beef sausage that was all taken from her land. It was amazing. Thank you so much for watching.
Yeah, they’ll use saw palmetto in place of swamp cabbage. Since the swamp cabbage variety is illegal to harvest. I’m pretty sure that’s due to the swamp cabbage’s inability to regrow once it’s been harvested.
@@ShamelessLainLover And mainly that it is so slow growing. You wouldn't think that a palm tree in a subtropical environment would take long to grow, but it could take 30 years for a tree to go from seed to only 5ft tall. And with only the top 20% of the tree containing edible heart, you can imagine how that could be a problem.
I was just trimming these back in my yard yesterday and I had no idea it was food! I am definitely going to try eating them. Also want to try the berries and I get thousands each year.
What amazed me the most was that all that hacking won't kill the plant. I didn't know that it was tasty. Will try soon. 4 or 5 of those. Easy for the meal!
Nothing kills those plants. We tried removing a conch, hacked, dug them out of the ground, if even a sliver remains in the ground it grows back. If you burn them the roots survive under the ground and they grow back.
Fascinating to watch u do that. My Mom & I used to always go to the Crescent City Catfish festival. First Sat. of April. They make palm cabbage soup of fresh hearts in huge ancient kettles. I have perfected my EZ version over years using canned hearts. Thanks Jay. Fun to see the process.💚💚💚
Oh yeah!? I love that stuff. When you are looking to feed a lot of people it would be ideal to carry a chainsaw lol. Thank you so much for watching i really appreciate it.
The Saw Palm has many heads from one root location. Taking one head will not kill the plant. But it is protected, otherwise people would just wipe it out :(
Well the herb is for the healing of the nation - Man has been given the dominance over the earth - to care for it and allow it to care for our bodies / it’s much better to eat in its natural state than wait for big Pharma 💊 to cultivate in mass and strip the natural raw benefits and compact in a useless 💊 * 🤷🏽♀️
Thank you Sir! Yeah it's good to know. Typically one would not have to go to those lengths due to the constant urban sprawl. But there are still places left where you could get turned around and end up stuck for a while. It is good knowledge to have...
I've never seen a chigger. ...I think at least. and looks like new goatskin gloves for the occasion??! The best part is when you tried to describe the taste. Overall I would say this was another AWESOME video!! Great work Jungle Jay!!!
I intentionally let the plants get big on our property . They are 52 years plus old I make tea and eat them. The animals wipe them out guick, sguirles, pigs, deer ect. WWE started on blackberries then come the blue berries then saw palmetto berries ect.
I am from a small town in Florida and every year we have a swap cabbage festival, we use cabbage palms (Sabal palmetto) though not saw palmettos because you get way more.
@@JungleJayAdventures is it considered nutritional ? I would think if it’s in the berry it’s possibly in the bush also ! I know they are supposedly good for the prostate
@@JungleJayAdventures ok thanks for your input and the video I have since eaten some palmtop and it’s actually good taste very Siri cauliflower thanks for the video
Hi, I did see your meet and greet at Yankee. Nice channel you have there. Interesting area you life at, and thx for showing how to interact with that habitat to get food. I was thinking about Indiana Jones, while you was cutting that palm 😂😂 Thx for sharing it with us. Maybe I will never come in an habitat like this one Br Mike
Oh cool. Yeah loads of it out here. Hope it works out well for you Thank You for watching. :) A viewer commented on this video said he developed serious side effects from Saw Palm Supplements. We had a conversation about it. He also put a link to his website documenting his journey.
what does it taste like? does it taste like baby bamboo shoots? (i think i have tried bamboo), i think we get saw palmetto here in Australia, well it looks the same.
I hard to say. I still find it hard to compare it to any other type of vegetable. It does have a nice hearty vegie flavor, If the bamboo shoot is cooked long enough I could say it was similar in texture.
Do you know if the berries of the Etonia palm (looks similar to saw palmetto, but no teeth) are edible. The heart is edible, but I've found inconclusive results regarding the fruit and seed.
Yes they are actually. The seeds are too hard for me to bite through I just spit those out after stripping the flesh. The heart would also be edible. This palm would die when removing the heart, whereas that saw palm has many heads so it doesn't kill the plant itself
@@JungleJayAdventures Thanks. That's good to know. I've yet to eat saw palmetto berries, I hear they taste terrible. But I found the Etonia Palm berries not to taste bad at all.
Well I know there is a supplement available, but I think for the most part the heart and berries. Also I hear the honey made from saw palm is also good.
@@JungleJayAdventures awsome! I'm right above the everglades basically at the beginning of them and im seeking "survivalist" info on the everglades im new to this "hobby" but it seems to be hard to come by
Can green apple be substitute for saw palmetto as we cannot find this in India and for leople suffering from DHT hair problems an get cured... Anyone pls help!
Well there are properties that is good for prostate health as well as hair restoration. But I like the food aspect. The Berries are good too and to answer your other question the berries do have seeds.
The berries are ready a different time of year than when I filmed this video. But they are good. I like them. Mildly sweet but the skin can be unappetizing. It tends to be kind of hard.
Some like like and some hate the taste. I like the berries myself. I generally miss my change to eat some because the bears get to them faster than I do.
