Interesting. I had never really considered cattails for food; but have been curious about using the stems for weaving and making baskets. One of those skills I'd like to add to my homesteading belt.

You are correct, the stems and leaves have been used in basket making for hundreds if not thousands of years. I would have loved to learn to do it, but probably never will not with my vision.
