Personal Notes: Cattails can be a relaxing plant to gather. Raw Cattail has a refreshing cucumber likeness. This recipe can be altered to taste and serves as an affordable meal or carbohydrate to go with your meal.
When gathering plants remember to "Walk by the first seven, leave the eighth for the animals, and you may take the ninth. " "This ensures that enough plants remain to produce seed for the following year and also that all creatures, including insects, will have the food they depend on."
