Cleavers! 🌿 Another wild edible plant that's classified as a weed! this bright green sticky plant isn't just edible its a highly nutritious medicinal herb that grows all around us abundantly. Known by many nicknames Goosegrass, bedstraw, sticky willy to name a few it's scientific name is "Galium aparine" & it's actually related to coffee ☕
You can eat the plant fresh or use it in salads, stews & soups or make refreshing spring tonics & teas. If you roast the seeds of cleavers it makes a free delicious cleavers coffee alternative. You can even use the roots to make a permanent red dye thats so strong it can dye the bones red of birds that consume it. 🐦
The cleaver has been used since ancient times in traditional herbal medicine & it's still used today in the modern world.
During WWII children in Britain were paid to harvest cleavers (as well as other medicinal herbs.) It was used by pharmaceutical companies to make medicine to combat infections throughout the war.
It's the ultimate springtime herb that's been found to improve the health of the lymphatic system. It helps to reduce swelling & inflammation by clearing excess waste & water from the body it's also a diuretic all this combined makes cleavers a great way to help flush out all those unwanted toxins that build up in our bodies throughout winter giving our health & immune system a good spring clean.
In Folklore they believed that drinking cleaver made you beautiful & that the cleaver symbolises "connection" all in all cleavers is a fun edible plant that gives us not only food & medicine but joy too because sticking cleaver to your unsuspecting friends back will forever be funny ✌️😁
