[@strophariacaerulea]

I'd love to give an extra thumbs up for the bottled dressing line. 😂😁

Little chef humor there 😅

[@medogandcatadventure]

@@foragerchef4141I would have given you 100 thumbs up for just this comment. 😅

[@sunshine_pnw]

I just found some in PNW. Another edible wild in my list now.

Thank you for sharing this. Can't wait to try the lemonade.

I love pineapple weed. My kids were here the other day, and brought it up, asking if I was going to be making tea soon with it. Some favorite memories are kids following like ducklings as I picked each leaf and flower for a cup of tea, and filled a bowl for salad, all with the "weeds" I grow in my yard and field. Pineapple weeds is their favorite for the smell.I love adding red or white clover blossoms and a bit of wood sorrel. Thanks for the lovely video. I'm off to make some tea,lol.

[@foragerchef4141]

Hey neighbor. Yeah I just love it in salad.

[@lynnlast9272]

Appreciate this so much! I have this all over on my property and I’ve never liked it, always thought it stunk Now I want to try it in my salads and as a tea! Thank you! Thank you!

[@TheUniverseWorksForUsBeings]

I found some off to the sides of my gravel driveway last year....i live in whats considered the country with huge pines of all different species, wild black raspberries aka blackcaps etc....anyways i planted them in my roma tomato raised garden bed and they took off this year...all from 1 plant there are many

[@taketimetoheal-naturally5689]

thank you !! This year i dug up the little pineapple plants and planted in my raised bed ... and they are out growing the ones by the side of road :) they look marvelous

[@goofyroofy]

was somewhere else and they had the link to this, you have solved a lifelong riddle for me when we would walk to and from the beach the ground is full of these, didnt know what they were but yes, did get that pineapple like smell when you walk over them. one of those thing you tell yourself you'll look up, but never get around to it, so thanks again, the tea or lemonade options sound great now that warmer weather is coming.

[@RolloTonéBrownTown]

Very cool my friend. Yes, it is good cold. It grows "like a weed" here in Alaska. I mix it with yarrow!

[@botanicalbecca8443]

This is so timely! ❤ I haven't been able to find pineapple weed since we lived in St. Paul and now have a ton springing up in our yard out here in Carver Country! I've got it all in the dehydrator right now. Thank you for sharing such helpful info! 🌿 I know there will be a lot more coming in now that I clipped them.

[@reinventnv123]

Wow as a kid we would squish these plants between our fingers and smell them!

[@foragerchef4141]

Me too.

[@LyNnDk01]

Me too. I like the smell of this. I always wonder if you can eat them. Now i know.😊

[@offgridDAVID]

Just wonderful my friend just subscribed and glad I found you.

[@lloydmorris6545]

I'm with you on the bottled dressing 😅 I like honey with my dressing 👍

[@FreezerSpaces]

What great ideas! Gotta try the salad. We like to infuse butter with pineapple chamomile (no straining!) and make a poppy seed bread with it :D

[@stephenkennedy3020]

Wild greens NEED sugar...*squeezes on lemon juice* 😅 Well done sir. Love your insights and the quality of your videos are top notch.

[@foragerchef4141]

Acid is always used in salad. Sweetness isn’t but with wild greens it’s often really helpful.

[@carvedwood1953]

Sugar in vinegar. I like that tip. I still have some of your ramp scrap vinegar around and I finally got some pineapple weed to grow in the garden instead of the gravel in the road haha.

[@foragerchef4141]

Using Sweetened vinegar is literally my best tip for serving salads of wild greens. Game changer.

[@lepistanuda]

I infused some into my water on the way up to doing some wild swimming a couple days ago, and I when I was chewing on the leaves I kept thinking it had a bit of a dill flavour which is fun! Excited to try drying them too, though I can never seem to find much of these outside of busy roadsides which puts me off a lot (same goes with Fat Hen which I’d really like to try!)

[@SetApepx]

Thanks for sharing..lol i agree with u no ranch on the salads..

[@mentalhealthmolly]

Please make more videos like this. I'm going to go binge everything else on your channel 😁. Thank you ❤❤❤

[@foragerchef4141]

Thanks Molly.

[@mentalhealthmolly]

Wow! We've just started wild foraging and the shelf life limitations surprised me. By the time we get home from our short walk things are already wilted! I'll try your trick ❤️

[@foragerchef4141]

Thanks Molly.

[@kathleencomba2500]

Just a wee question....doesn't lamb quarters give a relatively...or moderate alkali poisoning level to the serving?

[@MikeOrazzi]

Good to know.

[@davidledoux1736]

"If you use bottled dressing, unsubscribe from this channel.' 😅 What I love most about this channel is getting a chef's perspective on what to do with the abundance of wild edibles all around us. Thank you, Alan.

A little chef humor for you😉

Nice!

[@beneath.the.rosesluciddrea8470]

The driveway may be more concentrated with run off from lawn chemicals, car washing and general "city" run off. So please keep this in mind, your harvest site really really does matter

[@Macachee]

Do they really taste like pineapple? Sugar and everything?

[@foragerchef4141]

The aroma does absolutely. No sugary taste. Other related plants have strong floral, sweet and apple flavors. The word chamomile even translates to “Earth Apple”, from Greek.

[@lisawatson3467]

How do you make the pineapple weed syrup?

[@foragerchef4141]

Recipe’s on my website.

[@kevinlyon7716]

The tea is great to rinse your hair with.

[@liztowers2058]
