Picking wild vegetables & removing astringent taste Workshop

Summary

Warabi, which appear around the latter half of May, are a wild vegetable that is easy to distinguish and fun to pick. It needs to be removed from the water overnight in order to taste good, and few people have actually cooked and eaten it by themselves. This time, let’s pick some bracken and learn from local mothers how to remove the astringency.
