I was busy reading through wild food cookbooks to get ideas and didn't spend enough time looking through wild food field guides and other sources. Because daylilies are easy to identify and the cookbooks said they were delicious, I got overexcited and clearly had a bad reaction. Such a bummer since they are so yummy.Thaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15632246325868000701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2531874687635989627.post-65130135313022440742010-07-16T20:02:58.335-04:002010-07-16T20:02:58.335-04:00I am always careful not to eat too many Daylilies,...I am always careful not to eat too many Daylilies, especially the shoots. I think I got nauseous once from the shoots. I feel like I'll get sick if I eat too many. <br /><br />After reading your post I thought I'd check out what my books say. Steve Brill wrote:<br /><br />"Caution: Daylilies, especially raw, don't agree with everyone. About one out of fifty react with nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, especially after they pig out."<br /><br />Another book said to eat in moderation to avoid a laxative effect. Another book mentioned that they are mildly toxic in large quantities.Arenanoreply@blogger.com
