I never thought poke tasted near as good as spinach, which I dearly love either cooked or raw in a salad. We always ran poke weed through at least two boilings with pouring the water off each time, and never had a death, or even a sickness from it. There are, of course, people who might be allergic to some chemical in poke. Allergies are strange things. I am allergic to aloe vera and many other plants of that ilk. Go figure.
