Ray :

Somewhere in the dim recesses of my memory, I seem to remember that the
native americans were known to eat immature (green) cattails cooked as a
vegggi in their diet. You can also eat the immature fern fronds
(croziers) before they unfurl in a salad.....now these are tasty,
depending on the species.
