How to harvest and prepare spring beauty roots for food. Harvesting and preparing spring beauty roots for food is an easy process if you know what you are doing. Spring beauty is one of many wild edibles that can be gathered for food if you know what to look for. In this video we discuss how to harvest the roots, or corms, of spring beauty for food as well as how to prepare them. Claytonia virginica, or Virginia spring beauty is a common spring wild edible that is common in the woods in early spring. For many wild edibles spring is the season, but you have to know how to harvest them properly so you don;t get stuck with the small roots. We also make a garlic mustard wrap to have on the side of our spring beauties, and compare the corm of spring beauty to the bulb of trout lily.
Harvesting spring beauties can usually take about an hour or so depending on how you harvest them. If you look for the plants that are forming a small circle, then you can find the larger roots, which are the most efficient to dig for food. We will discuss how to notice the larger roots, as well as how to prepare them for food.
