Rùrachd (Foraging)
Season 1 Episode 4 of 6
Mary Ann Kennedy and Lucy Cooke hunt both for plants with health benefits and the ones that may prove fatal if eaten, including hemlock waterdropwort. They show how sweet cicely can be used instead of refined sugar in a crumble that they make with rhubarb from Mary Ann's neighbours in Ardgour, and also explore plants with a bad reputation that are still beneficial in some way, such as ragwort
