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.

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!

I agree. I am really into herbalism, but there is a-l-w-a-y-s something else to learn. I buy some herbs, but I also like to forage. That can be scary, since some unfriendly or even deadly herbs have lookalikes. So far, I've been sticking to those I KNOW, but I would like to broaden my horizons.

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

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.

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

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 ;)

Hello Rob, thanks for uploading this film. Can I leave a few words here about my passion for plants and the situation I'm dealing with right now please? There have been periods that I have enjoyed gardening and foraging for food since I was a child. Unfortunately, I developed problems with anxiety and depression in my early teenage years and these conditions interfered with my ability to enjoy these activities on many occassions throughout my teenage years and into my twenties. It wasn't until I was 28 that I found the means to be able to contend with my conditions effectively, a combination of surrounding myself with the right people, practising yoga and working with plants. This combination stood me in good stead for many years until disaster struck almost a year ago now when anxiety and depression returned to haunt me and I have felt unable to contend with them effectively. I have lost many good people to surround msyelf with and I also feel that there has been an internal change with me Rob. I have come to learn that there are many cycles in life and one of them is one of 28 years. I am now 46 and feel that My make up internally is much the same as it was 28 years ago, when I was 18. The people who were right for me only a couple of years ago are no longer suitable and I must find people whose company will allow me to meditate, permit me to concentrate instead of allowing anxiety to ravage me and then spend time contemplating ending it all. I was focused enough to take a large overdose of opioid painkillers almost 13 days ago now Rob, I did not feel that life, the Universe would respond anymore with the people and things I needed to allow me to continue. I am now recovering from the after effects of that overdose and must reach out to people to ask them to consider sparing me a thought in perhaps one last attempt and hope that their thoughts, their energy will guide me to who I need to surround myself with. I would be so deeply touched if you and/ or anyone else reading this message would consider sparing me a thought to this end Rob. Thank you, Michael

Thanks for opening and sharing your story. I have found plants to be my best friends and allies in any situation. Nature immersion balances our energy, mind, and emotions in very profound ways, and even the scientific community has begun to pay attention to this truth. Spending time in the forest (especially barefoot, walking very slowly and carefully, and breathing deeply and steadily in and out through the nose) is an excellent way to recharge. Even in a city, we can remember that all the photosynthetic beings of the world are contributing to our breath, and that every bite of food (either directly or indirectly) came from a being that spends it's whole life loving the light and moving deeper into the Earth. They are excellent teachers, great role models, reliable friends, and our most intimate allies in life (we literally become one with them everytime we eat a meal! I would also highly advise listening to everything that Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev puts out on KZbin... He is one of my favorite mystics and a guru that organizes massive tree plantings in India :D good luck on your journey. Be very well.

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. :)

I loved the video... is there any way that you can take/post a pic of the leaves of the plants you/he refer to. I know i THINK i have seen some of them, but i wouldn't chance eating any until i know for sure what the actual leaves look like! a picture of the plant, and a close up of a leaf would be INVALUABLE!!! thank so much! subscribed!

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.
