Polk Salad Annie

Alexis Nikole, known as the Black Forager @blackforager ⭐️ is someone who deeply inspires the work we cultivate in our gardening, foraging and cultural food programs. To honor her this Black History Month, we’re sharing one of the many incredible natural histories she highlights on her channels. Meet “pokeweed🌿”: a plant with deep roots in Black, indigenous, and rural communities, that is known to be poisonous if prepared incorrectly. Alexis breaks down this history and shows us how to properly cook this wild plant! Her fascination with pokeweed is described as — “Maybe it’s because it’s the first wild dishes I remember being mentioned to me as a kid... or maybe because no matter where you trace it’s history, whether it’s through Southern culinary history, Appalachian, Black, indigenous... it always seems to follow stories of resilience👏🏽 and I really admire that.”❤️ Have you ever tried pokeweed?🌿 Tell us in the comments below! #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #indigenous #foraging #gardening #girlsclub
