In a survival situation knowing the correct edible species is critical and only when we practice when there is not a crisis, do we gain important know-how and wisdom when consuming from Mother Nature's kitchen. During my life admiring wildlife I have also spent my years learning about different species of wild plants for food and also medicinal purposes. It's amazing just how much is out there even in the northern latitudes where I call home. The Staghorn's nutrient rich fibrous berries are found even late in winter which means if you can find them, you have access to a quick and readily available source of nutrition.
The fact that in winter, wildlife can find insects hidden in the furry berry clusters means the Staghorn is a vital resource critical to insectivorous species like the Eastern Blue Jay.

Just a word of caution, the first time take a taste test, and then wait a few hours before drinking freely. As a child I made Staghorn Sumac-ade at camp, and loved it, but learned the hard way that I'm allergic to Staghorn sumac. Think Stay Fresh Marshmallow Man.

The Amazing Sumac sounds like a magician. This plant is absolutely beautiful in autumn and an asset in your landscaping
-
I grew up in the Ottawa valley surrounded by sumac, and never knew much about this amazing tree. Thanks Mark!

Winged sumac is easier distinguished by the winged sections of leaves between the main leaves. Smooth sumac has similar berries but lacks the winged leaves.

I really liked this video. I have so much Sumac growing in my yard, just learning its consumable. Also, unrelated but you look like a younger Henry Winkler. :)

This is a great video. Nice to see someone appreciate the staghorn as much as I do. Even learned a thing or two. Might just visit staghorn during fall and winter fishing trips to find some bait.

Your welcome! Looking right in our backyards there is an incredible amount of species of flora and fauna. I have always given special attention to wild edibles as well as medicinal plants. Sumac is certainly one of the greats...

Amazing video... Thank you for your efforts

I sterilized mine in 3 minutes of steam. Do not pick around utilities or public works such as road ways they use chemicals and herbicides to manage growth. In New England August is best time..can be used up to February but gets dryer and less supple
-
Really great video, thank you.

Laughed when you spit it out thank you for video. I tried a store bought powder form reminded me of Tamarind tangy and delicious
