Wild Foods of Texas (M-Y) – Indigenous Uses Compilation

PART 1:    • Wild Foods of Texas (A-M) – Indigenous Use...   Most of what's covered (plus much more) is in my book: Harp, Cyrus. 2025. Native Food Plants of Texas: an Austin Forager's Guide Based on Indigenous Knowledge. Paleo Foraging, Austin, TX. The paperback is available here: www.amazon.com/Native-Food-Plants-Texas-Indigenous/dp/B0FW7K4GXL And I offer an E-book at paleoforaging.com/shop (also my artwork on merch, Texas Natives map, etc.) For original references, see the citations in my book, or the original description on each short. I also have playlists for many of these species. Note that the Indigenous peoples mentioned are still living cultures and when I use past tense it is to describe practices in a historical context. This video is for educational or entertainment purposes. To be safe, DO NOT try anything I say or do. Foragers should be 100% certain of the ID of anything consumed.
