Whether your situation is one of self-sustainability, where you want to use every available food source you can find, or are facing a survival situation, where food is a vital element of the Principles of three, one easy to find and harvest food source is the Cattail.
Cattail, or Typha, is a genus of 30 different species of monocotyledonous of flowering plants that live primarily in marshy, damp areas.
Decent tasting, Cattail is a vitamin, fiber and mineral-rich source of food.
Virtually the entire plant is edible, and each part is a very nutritious food, whether you eat it raw, pickle or cook the plant.
It is also very easy to harvest and exists in just about every environment on the planet; you can even find cattails in some arid zones in marshy areas.
The following video shows you a few methods of harvesting and preparing Cattails.
