Bulrush.
Like cattails, bulrushes provide a source of year-round food. Found in wet, marshy
areas and shallow waters of lakes or ponds. Identified by long, non-branching stems, with a
spiky cluster of flowers. Young roots and shoots can be used as a vegetable. Older roots can be
pounded to remove fibers and then ground into flour.
