I am constantly greeted with surprise, and even skepticism when I talk about edible flowers and unconventional foods .. the Western public has been subjected to a long campaign of propaganda designed to keep the consumer shopping in the grocery store, and away from such risky endeavors as foraging for one's dinner.

"That's EDIBLE??!" is not an uncommon phrase.

Tonight, Jason breaks down the difference between bulbs, corms, tubers, and even rhizomes .. making identification easy, and reducing the risk of an accidental poisoning .. even when you are just cooking ordinary potatoes, from the supermarket. (oh yes, under the right circumstances!) .. and in the case of bulbs in particular, stay tuned to learn the sure fire way to tell if they are safe to eat (without feeding some to your little brother first).
