This scenic woodland trail, running between houses in a residential area, is a great place for foraging in early spring, and, beginning at 11:45 AM, foraging expert Violet Brill, America's First Lady of Foraging, will be showing you all the many common, renewable shoots, greens, flowers, roots, and mushrooms that abound here during the course of a 2.5 hour foraging tour.
Of course, one of the first things you'll learn will be violets. The flowers are long gone, but sweet, mild leaves, which come up again in late fall, are great in salads, or cooked in any recipe that calls for greens, where they act as thickeners.
Other greens in season now include field garlic, garlic mustard, Asiatic dayflower, lady's thumb, and wood sorrel, all with their own wonderful flavors.
There will even be edible trees. River birch twigs, very similar to black birch, taste like wintergreen, great to chew on and excellent for making tea and flavoring puddings. The anti-inflammatory methyl salycilate it contains is also a gentle pain killer and the most effective remedy for teething.
Sassafras is another delicious tree. You can make tea with the roots of the saplings, chill the tea, and add chilled sparkling water and a sweetener to make your own root beer. The cambium layer of the root, just under the bark, is an excellent culinary seasoning, like a combination of root beer, cinnamon, and anise.
Even though it's late in the season, mushrooms should also be around. The wood chips that line the trail will probably be producing blewits, intensely-flavored blue-tinged mushrooms that come up here every year.
Tree ears also abound here in late fall every year. These gelatinous mushrooms are used in soups in China, and in Chinese restaurants in the US, but you can also coat them with sweet or savory herbs in a purée of white miso, cooked chick peas, and oil, then bake them. You get a delicacy with the texture of Gummy Bears, and the flavors of your choice!
The 2.5 hour foraging tour of the Jack Harrington Greenway, led by Violet Brill, begins at 11:45 AM, Sunday, May 5, at the trail entrance at Gedney Way and Pleasant Ave., in White Plains.
