Eating Alder Catkins Featured
I have found one reference to eating alder catkins. The Plants for a Future Database (www.pfaf.org), which holds ethnobotanical information on over 7000 plant species, says that the catkins have been eaten raw or cooked and are rich in protein. It also adds that the catkins are astringent and have been chewed to alleviate diarrhea. Here I would add that although I was initially concerned about the digestibility of catkins, there have been no signs of incomplete-breakdown or of unusual intestinal complications during the length of this experiment. Catkin nutrition seems to have been little-studied, so I will divert my focus to the pollen found in and on the male catkins. To walk from my cabin to the nearest alder stand, pick a half-gallon of catkins (which yields about six tablespoons of pollen), and return home takes about 90 minutes. If I may extrapolate from data regarding nutritional composition of hand-collected pollen (www.fao.org), six tablespoons—or roughly three ounces—of alder catkins pollen may contain: 0.6 oz of crude protein 1/3 oz of simple sugars 1/6 oz of crude fat 1/3 oz of starches all amino acids necessary for human health over 40 vitamins and minerals trace amounts of glucose oxidase, an antibacterial compound
