Protected species and recipes

To the best of my understanding, this is a protected species; although I did just assume that all spring blooming forest plants were protected where I lived. Is it such a good idea to have recipes with the article? -- carol (talk) 22:29, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

it is not a protected species, were found they tend to be even "weedy". Recipes are not a good idea, but plain information is. 11:07, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

I've been eating Jack-in-the-pulpit root since I was young, because its powerful tingling sensation is interesting. It's fun to give to friends and others who have never had it and watch their response. In all of my experience, none of those people was ever "poisoned" by Jack-in-the-pulpit, unless that tingling counts as poisoning. But then, we only ingest the root. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.38.42.84 (talk) 20:30, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

In my coastal Maine childhood the seeds were used as a prank, with a child in the know calling them "indian chewing gum" and offering them to the prankee.

This is a blog entry so I won't use it as a cited source. That being said it is an issue if people don't understand.

Scores of Internet sites that copy each other say boiling the corms makes them edible. That is very misleading.
