In Nature Sumac Meringue Pie

at

For a plant that humans (and other mammals, birds and bugs) have been eating for eons, sumac, surprisingly, is not often eaten in Maine. Part of the reason may be that everyone has heard of poison sumac, and not being familiar with wild plants in general, they fear all sumacs. But it’s easy to tell them apart. Staghorn sumac berries are really dark red! and poison sumac berries are white. In late summer and fall, people admire staghorn sumac’s fiery red leaves and pyramids of fuzzy red berries. When the leaves fall, the fuzzy, curved, twigs look like Dr. Seuss antlers in velvet.
