Bitterroot

21. Bitterroot

Bitterroots grow on dry open slopes in the southern Cariboo grasslands. Many Interior native peoples ate the roots, digging them up in early spring as the leaves were developing and before the root became bitter. It was considered a valuable plant and it figured prominently in trade. Lewis and Clark found the prepared roots to be too bitter for their taste, so they called it "bitterroot".
