So that's what they're called 😄. I was going to take some time to look them up to see what they were. I just read that they are good for your health. Have you ever harvested any? I'm curious of what the process would be for spice making.
I just kind of grab the fluffy red seed stalk part and crumble them to get rid of the seed in the center then spice grind the fluff part and toast it a bit to dry it. After that you can just put it on whatever you want. Fresh ones are also good brewed as tea. There is a poison version of sumac with green berries and no fluff on the berries, the edible sumac is what you have taken a picture of with red fluffy seed pods.
Oh wow this is great. This is literally growing right around the corner from me. That doesn’t seem to hard. I think I will try my hand at making some spice.
Taking note about the poisonous ones, thank you 😳. Good to know we have plenty of the safe ones around.
Thanks for all your shared knowledge. It’s truly appreciated!!
