My family has been eating pokeweed since I was a child. In fact I purposely grow it on my acreage to this day and I'm 55. The leaves need boiled ONLY once, everyone says multiple times, but that's just not true. I also make jelly out of the berries separating the seeds from the juice. My uncle takes one berry each day to treat his arthritis. My wife was just diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, so she will start taking the berries tomorrow.
