Pokeberry, aka pokeweed, inkberry, poke salad, and more, Phytolacca americana is a luminous natural dye which can achieve incredible shades of fuchsia and magenta for ecofashion and ecoprinting. While this dye will fade in sunlight (i.e., moderate to low light fastness), it is great for indoor projects and will last for years out of direct sun. This plant is native to large areas of central, east and southern North America but has naturalized in areas of Europe and Asia where it can be invasive. While the fresh shoots and other components have historically been used as traditional medicines and as food sources, pokeberries are poisonous and processing requires some additional safety steps.

Come discovery the amazing shades you can achieve with pokeberries - from bright deep pinks through to reds and oranges, it's a dynamic dyer which responses in unusual ways to temperatures. Colours from natural dyes is a great way to contribute to sustainability and responsible environmental choices.

Pokeweed:

aka phytolacca americana

Pokeweed is native to Eastern North America and upper central America and is is known for its purplish red stem and black berries. It is widely regarded as a weed and can be found growing in pastures, ditchs, roadsides, and thickets

I find it growing everywhere in my climate even growing out of the hedges in my own front yard!

Pokeweed is toxic and ingesting to much of any part of the plant can be deadly, but, and I DO NOT recommend this, you can eat the young shoots of the plant if you boil them in several changes of water, if they taste bitter after boiling in 3 changes of water, do not eat them, they are only safe when they are completely not bitter. DO NOT TRY THIS without conducting extensive research on the process of detoxifying them and preparing them. Do Not Try if you are not a professional.

I am by no means a professional and therefore I have not tried this and do not recommend doing it.

On a lighter, less poison-y note:

Pokeweed feeds many wild animals, such as birds, deer, and insects, pokeweed is even a host plant for the giant leopard moth (a quite beautiful species pictured below)

(I actually found this guy myself which makes me very happy)

Another poison warning

Pokeweed is poisonous leave it for the moths, birds, and deer to enjoy

Pokeweed sap can cause skin irritation in those with cuts on their hands or sensitive skin, which I can testify to. I recommend wearing gloves if you're going to mess with it.

Now here are some more pictures of it that I took on a lovely rainy day

Aren't those flowers just so pretty!

I understand the need to weed and I must be honest when I first learned about them I was very anti-poisonous plant, but now I see their importance in our ecosystem and I'm happy to live in an area that has them. They play an important role in feeding the wild animals in my region and for that I am thankful.

Even if I wasn't happy to have them there's not much I could do to stop them, they spread easily and have massive 4 foot long tap roots which can grow 4 inches wide! Good luck removing it if you don't like it!

Stay tuned for more everyday plant identification 🌱🌿

Shrimp Poke Bowl

It's Poke time. It's light, healthy, and still very filling. I opted for a spring mix base. Additionally, some locations provide a selection of noodles and rice as a base.

A fun fact I learned in the the last two years is that tomato greens are edible in moderation! There are a few other nightshade species that also have edible leaves (in moderation and/or with proper processing) as well, which is wild because before this I thought that nightshades were all toxic outside of the fruits.

That said, I’m still v scared every time I nibble at a tomato leaf. :P

That said: Don’t try and eat nightshade greens unless you can positively identify them and 2) you know for sure the process for making them edible so you don’t get poisoned.

#solanum #plants #plantblr #food plants #apparently pepper plants have edible leaves but I’d have to look up how to not poison myself #in Africa they have a process to make black nightshade leaves edible (but like poke salad I’m too scared to try it)
