"Did you know Maple seed pods (Samaras) are edible and packed with protein? Pop these tiny green gems straight from the tree for a trailside snack or bring them home for a tasty treat! Think edamame meets snap peas when sautéed. Pro tip: Harvest smaller, green pods for the best flavor. If they're bitter, try slow roasting for a sweeter outcome (250-300F for about 15 min). All Maple Trees have edible seeds so taste different varieties to find the best tasting seeds to you. Happy foraging friends!!"
