unusual plants you can eat
Probably one of the least known edible plants is the cattail. Cattails are usually found near the edges of freshwater wetlands. Most of a cattail is edible. You can boil the roots or eat them raw. You can also eat most of the stem of the plant. The best part of the stem is near the bottom where the plant is mainly white. Again, you can either boil or eat the stem raw. You can also boil the leaves and eat them as you would any other greens.
