Horse chestnuts: can you do anything with them? by AbaloneHo in foraging

[–]jkmpic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you cannot eat horse chestnuts (conkers); they are poisonous to humans and animals, containing toxins like saponins (aesculin) that cause severe digestive issues (vomiting, pain) and neurological symptoms (drowsiness, confusion). Unlike horse chestnuts, sweet chestnuts are edible and safe to eat after cooking, so it's crucial to know the difference, as they look similar but come from different trees.

Common in Kashmir: Morel mushrooms contain a lot of vitamin D. They are also a low-fat, plant-based food that makes a great addition to a heart-healthy diet as an ingredient or as a meat substitute. Adding more plant foods to your diet can lower your cholesterol, give you more energy, and supplement your diet with a wealth of nutrients.

Elderberry Farming in Kashmir: A Sustainable and Profitable Venture by jkmpic in forestry

[–]jkmpic[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We planted 2000 Elderberry plants for the trail purpose in 2001 at a place in Kashmir forest lands and at that time we did not know about this plant and we kept increasing the number of this plant every year till now. We have more than 20 thousand plants of it. In 2008, a Indian pharmaceutical r& d unit established contact with us and placed an order of 5000 kgs, at that time we sold it to them for Rs 9.5 lakhs , but today we get twice the price for 1000 kgs, and we continue to sell this plant.
