"Poke is edible.. Boil and drain the water 3 times. Southern staple,,bacon grease and onions.. Young leaves are better than old big leaves."

I've heard that from old folks down here in the South all my life.

The young spring poke is a delicacy.

Grandma was from Alabama and she’d make fried poke when dad was a kid.

I’d never use it in SHTF anyway because it takes too much water to fix. It’d be pigweed or lambsquarters instead.
