Now, I don’t want to just share that without giving everyone the chance to experience and appreciate #AlexisNikole’s educational #foraging and recipe #TikTok videos.
This one is both. And it’s a lot of fun. And also, uses #chokeberries, my favorite foraging find to date. And I found it, because of her.
Quick notes: “Sweet crystals” = sugar, “tasty dust” = salt iirc, “god tears” = water, and the “spicy boys” = habanero peppers.
So for those who don’t know, #AlexisNikole, a very knowledgeable forager, and author on the topic, has a #TikTok. In it, she shares that knowledge, also with visual aids, and recipes.
In this video, she talks about her experiences as a black forager, and the historical context of race, racism, and #foraging.
For context, the comment she’s replying to says:
“I'm sorry but i have to say i agree with him i love your videos but i dont think it matters what your race is. im here for the foraging.”
"There’s so much history laden in disenfranchising Black people, indigenous people, poor people from being able to gather food in the wild."
