Poke Salad, also called Pokeweed Salad, is a traditional dish rooted in Southern U.S. cuisine. It is made from young shoots of the pokeweed plant, which are carefully boiled multiple times to remove toxins before being seasoned or incorporated into dishes. Historically, Poke Salad has been a foraged food, offering a source of leafy greens in rural areas. It is low in calories and rich in fiber, vitamins A and C, and minerals such as iron and calcium, making it a nutritious choice. However, caution is essential, as improperly prepared pokeweed is highly toxic due to naturally occurring compounds. Typically served as a side dish, it may include added fats from bacon or butter, which can increase calories. While Poke Salad reflects resourcefulness and tradition, proper preparation is key to ensuring it is a safe, healthy option.
