eat the weeds

I have not eaten dandelions in years but I remember that they are good. I would also drink the water that I boiled them in as it is just like Chinese green tea.

 

Excellent guys!!!!!

 

I absolutely love dandelion greens and eat them everyday in a huge salad of greens. I usually slice the leaves off the stalks and eat them raw in the salad. Haven't had nettles for years or tried purslane, plantain or marsh mellow plants. Marsh mellow is good for colds correct? Wonder if you can eat these other herbs raw?

 

There are 2 kinds of purnslane, one that is used as domestic decorative plant , it has several flowers from different colours and spread as a ground cover.Another one is more like a wild purnslane, its leaves are darker than the first one and it does not spread so much, both are edible and one of the leafy plants with the most nutrients, especially omega-3..
What I noticed about the wild purnslane, he has his own ways to sprout, it is appearing when it feels like, can stay in the ground as long as he wants until he feels like to pop out..The seeds are very small ..
I eat both raw in a salad and consider them as real vegetables..
I am joining a picture of the domestic purnslane.

 

I'm not big on dandelion greens... Yesterday I ate some mushrooms though. Mm. They were good. With olive oil, organic no salt seasoning, and some barbecue sauce for the last few in the bowl!

I also got some tofu and tempeh.

 

I just took some pictures of the wild purnslane, I was lucky enough to have a few suckers coming out, what is very funny is that this plant is growing spontane ously on sidewalks in the city!

 

Yummy, Tempeh is one of my favourite foods, I want just to know they don t make it with genetically modified soya!
No salt seasoning, it must be some dried herbs!have you tried the himalayan salt on food?

 

I haven't tried Himalayan salt.

We keep around a nice little organic no-salt seasoning next to the salt and pepper near the stove in the kitchen. It's good! We got it at Costco, and originally learned of it from my aunt.

 

I am not eating the poison ivy... Nope... not happening.

 

Weeds can be healthy.
Though we usually just pull them up and toss them into the trash, some weeds have nutritious properties.
For example, dandelions are loaded with vitamins A, C, and K—not to mention calcium, iron, and potassium. So consider repurposing those weeds and making them into a salad.

 

I see it's an old post. But has anyone tried stinging nettle?

 

Nettlles.....soup/salade/tea

This thread takes me back to my younger days, when I had to collect the blackberries and apples, while my mother was making the pastry for the pie.
