like collards when older]
Bring to boil, change water, heat it up again, drain and eat.
Any toxins are water soluble and mostly just make ya really "regular"
Poke Salit Annie ?

Folx used to dig up the big ole roots and put them in pots in the
basement next to the little windows...eat the sprouts all winter long.

Oh, just reimburse me for the postage and I can send you some fresh root.
It needs to be dug after our first frost which is a ways off yet. Berries
would be much harder and I don't generally pick or sell them.

mitogens. And in it's immune stimulating properties.

I see that you offer pokeweed for sale or trade on your site. What are
your prices for shoots, roots, leaves and berries and when are the
seasons for each? I would like enough berries for a pie and some jelly
to try. The rest would be for tincturing. Except for some shoots that I
may cook if there are enough.
