At least where I live anyway lol. That wondrous single week where we exclusively eat elm samaras before they all disappear. All the ones here are the invasive Siberian ones too so I don’t even have to be careful or considerate about harvesting them! This whole big bowl came from a single small branch.
They’re maybe a littlllee boring in flavor, but it makes up for that in quantity. Where I’m at in northeast U.S., you can walk like 3 minutes in any direction and find as many as you could ever want, sadly since they’re invasive. These ones were in my yard lol. We’re supposed to have native elm species here but I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen one, some blight is killing them off.
