Cool find! Words of caution for wild almonds: ingesting too many can cause poisoning and even death.

Wild almonds (bitter almonds) have a toxin called amygdalin; it basically turns into cyanide. Almonds sold in the stores are considered sweet almonds and have way less amygdalin than their wild versions. Some people have figured out a way to use heat processing to reduce this cyanide, but of course you have to do your own research to be sure.

    What app are you using? It’s cool to see it recognizing the vegetation. How often do you go out and there and I like your Jan 6th starter kit outfit too.

    The Jan comment. Ha! I’m seeing how accurate G Lens is. Comparing it with my hunters notes and foraging notes.
