My mother was weeding the yard, decades ago. She was pulling dandelions. My grandmother said, “don’t throw those out Patty! Those are good eats!” My mother said, “…..oh mother! Don’t say things like that!” My grandmother was my hero, now we know why she lived to be 100.

[@lislelisle5453]

Nice! Very sweet.

[@miakara4378]

Your gran knew her stuff!❤️I live in Greece and dandelion leaves are practically a staple (as are most in season wild greens) which we boil in a tiny bit of water and then put in a dish (with some of the water which has changed colour) add salt, lemon and olive oil... traditionally eaten with fish and fresh bread for dipping. Delicious!❤️

Don't. Wild plants are almost always contaminated with either dangerous bacteria, chemicals or both. Thank the industrialisation and the human overgrowth for that. Doesn't matter where you pick your plants, they're contaminated and you'll die early from cronical decease and parasitical infection if you try. Just don't. Deers die 5-10 years in the forest and can certainly live almost 50 years in captivity. Ask yourself why this is. The plants they consume are extremely dangerous. JUST DONT! LAST WARNING!

Thank you very very much! I loved it! I usually eat a lot of chickweed, nettle, dandelion and purslane as well-I can find a lot in my garden.:) But I definetly will try garlic mustard as well! In Hungary we have a special name for this weed: we call it : ,,kányazsombor". The word "kánya" means this bird : Milvus migrans. And the word "zsombor" is a weed, this one: Sisymbrium officinale. I don't know how to say it in english, sorry XD But in hungarian the name sounds like the name of an ancient wizard or something like that. :)

Wow! Great video about edible weeds! I'm eating edible weeds too here in Kuala Lumpur in my country Malaysia. I think in Malaysia you won't starve even in critical times if you know what weeds are edible in Malaysia. Most common edible weeds growing in my area are: (1) Asystasia gangetica-Chinese violet (delicious as a veggie soup or blanched salad) (2) Peperomia pellucida-Pepper elder (grow everywhere in my pots) (3) Portulaca oleraceae-Purslande (grow everywhere in my area but it loves growing in pavement cracks) (4) Plantago major-Broadleaf plantain (lots growing in my garden) (5) Cleome rutidosperma-fringed spider flower (lots in my backyard growing uninvited but I harvested often time to make salad, vegetable dish or juice it) (6) Vernonia cinereum-little ironweed (lot in my backyard, sometime I harvested to make juice) (7) Hedyotis diffusa-tongue grass (colonize every pot in my yard) (8) Talinum fruticosum-colonizes many of my pots, I reserve one pot for it, so I harvest it every now and then to eat as salad or veggie (9) Morinda citrifolia-Noni...this is a tree..I harvest leaves (old and young) to cook as a vegetable but I cut up and boil leaves first before I cook them into other very delicious dishes (10) Leucaena leucocephala - River tamarind - this is a medium height tree, ubiquitous, everywhere in my area and all over Malaysia, young shoots and fruits are edible as salads and veggie (11) Colocasia esculenta -taro - cultivated as well as weed in Malaysia, most are edible..we eat stems and tubers in Malaysia but mostly stems, cooked as delicious hot spicy chili sour soup, I start eating taro leaves too after I realize it edible, must be cut, skin removed and soaked in water/salt solution overnight and boiled twice (including cooking) to remove toxin before eating..I picked some taro growing wild as weed and plant in my yard (in a styrofoam box), been harvesting and eating them many times - and many more

Stinging nettle is used to make pie, like a spinach pie, in Greece. Very tasty! Also used to calm down chillblanes and help make them go away.

[@miracleshappen4483]

Yes, stinging nettles were also my favourite in Europe. In Italy, we make "risotto alle ortiche" which is extremely delicious. Now, I live in Cambodia and the first people who taught me about edible plants were, actually they still are, children! They gave me nuts, berries and they showed me some climbing green plants which are edible. Unfortunately, I can't do much at the moment as I'm healing myself from MS. Veganism helps but in my case, I had to deal with some inner anger which now that, I see no evil, has vanished and my illness will soon follow. My advice to all the Earth angels out there: if they try to sabotage you or insult you or whatever, keep cool! They are after your energy: they feed on anger and negativity so starve them until they are gone for good! 💖🤗😁

My mom who was Italian, recognized used some of the greens you mentioned and we foraged them as well as mushrooms. I remember dandelion, purslane and lamb’s quarters. She would forage dandelion early in the spring when they first start to grow because they less bitter and can be eaten raw. This was mainly because they’re most tender. The older they got there fibrous they became. She would forage bags full of them and then would boil them,drain them forming them into compact balls finally freezing them wrapped in plastic wrap a then foil. She also pickled the boiled ones and jarred them.

[@falsificationism]

SO informative. I wish he could do another top 10 that doesn't require any cooking. Seemed like half of these plants were poisonous or so high in oxalates that foragers need to heavily process before consuming.

[@janetthoke6326]

Yes.

[@Robin.Greenfield]

It is definitely not heavy processing, just some basic blanching, steaming or boiling.

[@EricJosephLewis]

In general i lean on the side of lightly steaming most greens and vegetables for the sake of nutrient availability. All of these except the milkweed are okay to consume raw in smaller amounts (a handful in a mixed salad is great), especially dandelion, purslane, garlic mustard, basswood, mulberry, and chickweed. Lambs quarters is the highest oxalic acid containing plant on the list, but a light steam neutralizes most of that. Bidens tastes a bit sappy to me when i don't steam it, and for nettles they can most certainly be eaten raw in pesto form. The cooking there is only to deactivate the stinging hairs, so they can definitely be crushed into pesto, blended thoroughly in smoothies, or be dried and powdered for raw food enthusiasts ;)

My father was in the military when I was young. He'd take me hiking in the country in England and teach me about the wild plants and flowers. One thing I remember is if you sting yourself with the nettle, find a Doc leaf or Burdock squash the leaf and rub it on the sting. It draws out the sting in seconds. Just a tip if you don't know.

[@markabconfed]

The sting goes away within a minute. No need to do anything about it.
