  2 0 I can only speak for western Washington, but there are edible wild aquatic plants to be found. Sagittaria latifolia, also known as Wapato or Arrowhead, grows in marshy areas. The tubers (roots) were historically prepared and eaten like potatoes. Zostera marina, a.k.a. Common eel-grass, grows in saltwater. Native peoples ate the rhizomes (roots) and leaf-bases. Brasenia schereberi, a.k.a. Watershield is apparently enjoyed in Japan, but doesn't sound like anything I'd want to eat. But if "jelly-like mucilage-covered leaves" sounds good to you, be my guest. Other aquatic plants were used as medicines, but I don't suggest experimenting in that fashion, especially in the backcountry.

  2 0 What is called Wild Rice is really a freshwater aquatic grass and is highly prized for taste and nutritional content. More complete taxonomy, historical and cultivation information at Wikipedia. You can buy soft sealed packs of pure wild rice at Trader Joe's and then use it as is or add to other mixtures of grains, in recipes, etc. Russ Campbell, NWEBS answered in Other-Food & Drink 10 months ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  1 0 Typha spp. (a.k.a. cattails) are edible. You can eat the peeled, lower stem part as a starch. I've been told too many will give you a stomachache though... :) mixy answered in Other-Food & Drink 9 months ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.
