Let us know if you experience gastrointestinal upset so we can learn from your experience. That would be caused by african violets.not even the same genus as our wild violets .wild violets are definitely edible and very nutritional even medicinal.

There are all sorts of wild flower that one can eat. Admittedly some only once.

Let us know if you experience gastrointestinal upset so we can learn from your experience. They are supposed to help digestive problems like dysentery and aid with kidney problems.

I have made jelly from wild violets. It's very tasty and a beautiful color. Got the recipe from Euell Gibbons book " Stalking the Wild Asparagus ". Have you ever ate a pine tree? Seems like that was a line from a TV cereal ad Euell was doing if I remember right? I like asparagus. wild or cultivated either one. anybody ever had white asparagus? not white sauce the plant is white.

All asparagus is white... until exposed to sunlight. They keep the stalks covered, usually with dirt, to keep them white. We can do this ourselves, even with wild asparagus. Some say white stalks are more tender, though slightly less nutritious. Age (size) is a bigger factor in my experience. Good eatin' either way!

Wild blue violets are edible but here in WI they are our state wild flower and thus picking them won't cause indigestion but incarceration maybe.
Bryce Bryce Have you ever looked at the list of plants can't dig or pick here in WI on state land? Whole lot easier to read the list you can take, which is really not that much big scheme of things. But I guess if every person decided to take even a few eventually wouldn't be none. Anyone want violets I got a bunch in my yard they can have. Might be eating little Diacambia that I sprayed them with. Probably won't kill you though, didn't kill the violets. Mac
