| Schwartz, O. and Wiggins, M. 2021 | The Ojibwe community harvests roots of wild carrots, Queen Anne's lace, in early spring or fall. The plant is a biennial, forming flowers in the second year of growth, that can be harvested and used for food. Wild carrot root and flower can be eaten raw or cooked. It tends to grow in moist sites where there is road/pavement runoff and hence plants may have pollutants in and on them, so be aware of harvest areas. |
