Around my yard they're all tiny with roots about the thickness of a piece of yarn. I've been keeping my eye out elsewhere and finding some nice big healthy ones occasionally. And some have roots that are difficult or impossible to get completely clean because of embedded dirt, while others come out practically clean right out of the ground. Also it is really easy to break off the big root, so I've read that some people use shovels to dig it out. I just got lucky with one of the bigger roots and it came up with a little extra effort (and a weeding tool to help pull it up, I happened to use a wrench). Anyway I think a key is just to keep an eye out for awesome looking ones with lots of big leaves above ground. And even then they don't always seem to have a great root. But sometimes!

The one time I tried (before you were born!) it took all day to get one cup's worth of the coffee. I don't know how you get the roots clean. I peeled them with a vegetable peeler.

Yeah in retrospect I'm not sure I'd do it again or recommend doing it, but it has left some lasting memories. Thanks for checking it out!

It helped me decide on not buy the seeds in order to grow red elderberry bushes. I thought they would produce a nice fluid bright red juice, like the berries themselves, but that's clearly not the case. Thanks for trying to forage. The next adventure might be better!
