Milk Thistle- Spiky invader, or Food and Medicine? It's both!

[@honestlee4532]

Good to see someone talk about something besides the awesome seeds of milk thistle. Thanks!

[@alfredbellanti3755]

Thanks for this valuable info. 😊

[@ajduker]

I'm going to be looking up the range of milk thistle now... Thanks!

[@Nini51963]

Thank you for sharing I have this plant in my yard I’m trying to learn how to use the plants I have growing .

[@mattmarzula]

The last time I did milk thistle I juiced the stems. Definitely felt cleansed. More so than celery juice.

[@BuckskinRevolution]

great idea!

[@davidtaberer3146]

As always very informative

[@robertgraves3215]

Wow, that's the biggest patch I've ever seen , looks like a hugulculture mound? Here in CT I found just one plant that had the white stripes but the leaves were narrow . Mostly it's Bull thistle here, which I still love . I have one growing in my living room by a big window. I just use it for tea, but you can eat the wee ones in early spring , the thorns will actually melt in the boil. The one lone (alleged) Milk thistle plant I found, I assume was some sort of subspecies of "real" Milk Thistle. The seed may have come along with whatever they had planted that year at that farm. Fantastic lesson, blew me away , thanks!

Thank you for the vid! Was looking at milk thistle to help lower liver enzymes. Wonderful timing ☺️

[@BuckskinRevolution]

awesome!

Thanks for the informative video, I was excited to find your channel after watching Alone. I really appreciate your love for the land and how open you are both on the show and this channel. I’m so impressed with your skill set and it inspires me to learn to live more self sufficiently. I’ve only recently (past couple years) become interested in this type of stuff and it often feels overwhelming.

Thanks for sharing. Good to know 😁👍🏼

[@whatsboredom9133]

it helps to see you eat it and show how it's done. this entire time i was sure i was going to eat the wrong thing and end up in the ER lol thank you

[@MrGadgetGuru1]

Great job. Thank you

[@FknNefFy]

Why not just cut the spikes off the leaves and eat the whole leaf?

[@miriamgonzales2591]

We tasted the leaf & it was good too..

[@bushcraftjoe1]

Pretty cool. Never seen that before

[@yikes830]

Awesome!

[@David-st8te]

Thanks for this information. Can I use the leave and drink? How do I use the seeds… How do I use the your purple flower? ❤. Thanks

[@stephaniem8620]

Really good

[@luislua8971]

Great information thank you 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@atticus-mann]

So erudite and expertly enunciated so as to be as pithy as possible. Such an excellent speaker and teacher.

[@Nourddin11_]

Thanks for the information! I'm from iraq, my dad own a farm in which he grows wheat.. We have a problem of Milk thistle "invasion" and I was just looking up the internet for any use of these plants.. Thanks again.

[@ALQ114zahid-abbas]

That's great

[@bosu626]

I bought the seeds. Do you know when to plant them? I am in zone 8. Thank you!

[@fariedabrey2306]

Thanks for the video how can i use the leaves

[@adriennefloreen]

You can do that to get just stalks but why? You could also cut off the very edges of the leaves where the spines are and get stalks and leaves. Try that, you get something like a cabbage leaf that is good cooked in a soup.

[@amiriqbalgarden1583]

Amazing madem

[@marium2815]

I have whole plant...Can I make tea from those leaves?

[@chiarac2747]

Yes, you can!

[@carrigodoy7999]

✨👏🏼♥️👍🏼✨

[@kingrp3481]

Very nice, thank you, but that's not how we eat it. You have to eat the whole stamp 😊

[@truetigertrue]

Mmmmmm...

[@bertoldriesenteil1430]

Yes I understand "invasive" and "native" thanks. American native humans have darker skin and a feather in their hair right, but this chick is invasive because she doesn't look like that. Her ancestors were not from the american continent.
