Cattail Green Cobs

Hot Cattail Cobs Slathered with Butter

Cattail Green Cobs
Butter
Sea Salt
Pepper

Put the cattail in a large pot of boiling water and boil for 7-19 minutes.  Remove and serve with butter, salt or seeds and thyme.

Leave 3-5 inches of stem for holding the cob

Cattail Green Cobs
This is the female head of the plant and they are delicious!  
They taste like artichoke hearts (some say corn on the cob)

Eat them like corn on the cob to avoid eating the hard inner stick.  They are densely nutritious!

About Wild Blessings

Welcome to my website. My name is Holly Drake and I love to study, teach, and talk about wild foods. I live in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina with my husband Jason and my dog Max where I explore the beauty of God’s creation to learn as much as I can about wild foods that are available to us for free.
