4. I'm Sorry, But Those Do NOT Look Edible
Very pretty, but I wouldn't try one without an edible wild plants specialist right there.

7. Pokeweed is quite edible...at least parts of it are.
I've had it.

But if not prepared properly it's poisonous.

9. More to do with age than preparation.
Young poke leaves are edible. Mature poke leaves are toxic.

10. Yeah...that's how I remember it too.
If it has berries, DON'T EAT IT!

My grandmother made me some poke salad once. It wasn't bad at all.
