ITS OFFICIALLY MAGNOLIA COOKIE SEASON 🩷

ITS FINALLY NETTLE CHIP SEASON AGAIN

BARREL CACTUS (Ferocactus wislizeni) FRUIT TIME! And a @Fonztradamus SIGHTING! It’s always a treat to visit the southwest when these tart lil fruits are in season! Part of the current and historic foodways for a MYRIAD of tribal nations like the Yaqui and the Tohono O’Odham (who’s ancestral lands I’m visiting right now with he literal angels on the @Visit Tucson team!!), the flesh is tart and a lil slippy in that way that nopales are, too! The seeds are roasted and ground to flour (though the birds like em as is! 💚) I’m gonna try germinating a few seeds at home so I can have a little desert with me, aaaaaalllll the way in Ohio!

HOT MERMAIDWEED - YOUR NEW FAVE GREEN Nothing is wilder than being introduced to a plant that’s been around you your WHOLE LIFE, hiding in plain tiny sight! @Samuel Thayer taught me about this lil flavor powerhouse a few years ago, and now I love it so much I have it growing in my own yard!!
