WEWP#42: Daylily (Hemerocallis fulva)

Michael and Steve take aim at a recently somewhat controversial wild edible plant, the daylily! In this episode we talk about the daylily edible parts, notes on toxicity, toxic lookalikes, and long history of human consumption! While Michael and Steve have never gotten ill from eating it, mostly we referenced Marie Viljoen's book Forage, Harvest, Feast where she does an excellent job trying to narrow down why and how people have gotten sick from daylily. (Spoiler alert- there's still no straight answer!) Listen and learn wherever you get your podcasts! Please remember to rate and review the show if you like us!!
