JDS on Nostr: Yucca plants are mostly edible and were apparently utilized by Southern California ...

Yucca plants are mostly edible and were apparently utilized by Southern California tribes. This is the first time we decided to try one out.

Cut a young shoot and roasted it. Surprised how much water they contain. Lots of carbs, you could see the sugars concentrating. End product was rather sweet. Taste is closest to heart of palm but sweeter and very tender.
