Interesting. Food, fuel, and building materials.
FYI, when you cook food, you get 2.5 times the calories.

I’ve always had is cooked down like boiled cabbage. This makes a great side dish with fried gator tail….swamp style!

Good info to know when the SHTF & your starving. Really like the dude’s machete. That will come in handy when you need to cut up some swamp cabbage or have to hack some son-a-bitch to death.

Seen leftovers by black bears eating it out in the scrublands areas in Florida
Melaleuca Tree leaves are also great for medicinal essential oil extraction. They are related to Eucalyptus Tree.
