What are Lamb's Quarters? ...and are they Vegan?

[@colinkelley6493]

You can save some (or a lot) of the seeds from lambs quarters, and use them for growing tender young micro greens especially in winter. It makes a fantastic in pesto. I practically live on pesto. I am close to being a "vegetabletarian" -- but in kind of a keto diet lifestyle style. What I do is add half a can of sardines to my pesto. Tastes great and gives me choline, Vitamin B12, Omega 3, and a lot more that vegans don't usually get and they need, AND it is inexpensive. (The humble shall inherit the world) Exposing mushrooms to UV light makes them incredibly high in Vitamin D. The seeds from several other wild plants like nettle also make wonderful micro greens, also goji (you can just plant the goji berry and several goji transplant able plants will pop up from it, and even chia makes a wonderful micro green. I mostly live on leafy greens and cabbage family vegetables. The Lord does provide. Years ago I was involved in the "World Hunger Crisis" through my church, and I learned about a thing they called "leaf protein". As an example, the big bags of kale and collard that you buy in grocery stores have enough protein to live on. There is more digestible protein in that one pound bag of kale than in a steak. But nobody can eat a whole bag of it for a single meal in a single sitting -- way too much fiber. But if you juice it, put the juice in a pan with a little water, and bring it to a slow boil, it will settle out into curds and whey. If you strain and wash the curds, they are pure concentrated protein. You can cook with it like hamburger, for instance, put it in spaghetti sauce, or whatever. Green leaf protein in less complex and easier to digest. I think the best plant for this is moringa, (but also industrial hemp if you are in a state that will issue you a permit to legally grow it). Nettle would be good, as well a goji leaf -- even mile a minute vine in the South, where it is wild and growing out of control. But you can't do it with everything -- comfrey, for instance, won't work. Thanks. I have been enjoying your presentations a lot. God bless you.

Lamb's quarter - younger spinach-tasting cousin to other amaranth. Good alongside pigweed (wild amaranth, purple amaranth, red amaranth, ....). Lightly steam, lightly boil, wok fry the leaves - and any oxalis toxicity will depart (like steamed, boiled, fried stinging nettles and its formic acid). Having these plants for your foraging goats, sheep, pigs, and rabbits (and cows and horses) will keep them fat and happy.

[@HaphazardHomestead]

I"m glad you discovered lambs quarter! It's real food for regular people. It's a better green than many that people grow in their gardens. I think it's worth letting go to seed, because then it is free food year after year. That's easier than gardening! The flowerbuds are great, too. The little seeds are black and it is good to rinse them, just like you would Quinoa. They are related to quinoa, so it makes sense to handle them the same. I like to toast the seeds in the pan before I cook them. It gives them a great flavor. But it's the leaves that are the best! Easily in my top 5 favorite wild greens. And it's enjoyed even by people that don't typically like wild greens. Enjoy your lambs quarter!

[@learntocrochet1]

I agree with what you're saying about letting it go to seed - to a degree. Be careful! There are so many seeds that lambsquarters can become a nuisance. In our town we have a voluntary, free seed exchange at a gardening store. I am going to save some of this seed and donate them.

Hi Christa, I so enjoy your videos. You are always so informative. Yes!! “Pig Weed”!! I have heard of that. I like the name Lamb’s Quarters better. 😀 I am so happy to learn about the benefits of this. And yes, I think cooking this is the best way to go. The Weston A Price Foundation talks about the problems of over consumption of oxalate. I gather it can cause kidney stones. But the good news is that yes, cooking does neutralize a lot it and then we can enjoy the cooked greens and benefit from all the vitamins it contains. I’m so happy you shared about keeping this plant under control. Container gardening for it is such a good idea. As always, thank you SO much for all this wonderful information. God bless you too!

The strangest thing about lambs quarter is that at the end of its season the leaves change shape to an elongated leaf with a small side protrusion. I believe that they are not good to eat at this stage which is just about to go to seed. I always left a plant or 2 to go to seed but you need a place that is out of your yard because they get huge if you have good soil. If you like spinach , you will love lambs quarter. Also, a side note: Pig weed is not the same as lambs quarter but is edible in its entirety as long as its not too tough to chew.

[@JesusSaves86AB]

This grows in half my unkept garden (with absolutely terrible soil). Since learning what it is I've dried it out quickly in sunlight with foil and salad bowls. My favorite part are the flower clusters, once dried they resemble a micro popcorn. One of God's miraculous plants that may become popular again with the food shortages coming.

My mom used to send us out the pick it and then she would boil it. Tasted like spinach. I also like to eat it raw when I'm out in the garden. I have also fed it to the chickens when it does start to take over. The chickens love it and the yolks of the eggs turn a bright orange, so then you can get the benefit of it that way also.

[@tammy-lynnstewart5677]

Awesome vid. Thanks for sharing! I eat a lot of this stuff and grow it as well. Something I have done when harvesting from my own garden and in the wild is I just keep pinching off the young shoots. This will cause the plant to branch out new shoots (usually 2) and keeps on doing this. You can and up being able to harvest all season. Once it is near end of season (I live in a cold climate so 6+ months of no harvesting much of anything) I'll let it go to seed then I harvest the seeds to broadcast elsewhere. It also freezes well. I just stuff it raw in ziploc bags or re-usable bags (yes I reuse ziploc bags), then squeeze all the air out I can (you can also vacuum pack em) and freeze. You can also blanch, drain and freeze them that way but not really needed. It does shrink like spinach though so if you blanch them you can get more in a bag/jar/whatever-you-freeze-em-in.

This is called BATHUA in HINDI. it can be boiled & the paste used on hair, my aunt, who was a physician, used to apply it to her hair, & then rinse it off. It is from AMARANTH family. Boil the leaves in a little water & make a RAITA or the INDIAN TATZIKI with it. The boiled leaves, we used to use them to knead whole wheat flour into a dough seasoned with salt, bishop weed seeds (AJWAIN in Hindi), green chilies, ginger, cumin & coriander powder, & then we roll it into 4" circles & either cook with a tiny bit f oil on a skillet or deep fry it into THE MOST DELICIOUS & NUTRITIOUS POORIES, favorite in India

I have both the white and the purple lamb's quarters growing in my garden. The purple is absolutely beautiful & I've let one go to seed so that we can have more of them. I am from South Africa and we enjoy it traditionally chopped & cooked with onion and potato, butter, salt and pepper and enjoy it as a side vegetable or as a vegetarian main dish served with pap (which is like polenta). It also makes a rich delicious sauce cooked slowly with tomato, plenty of garlic and then a handful of basil tossed in at the last moment which is very tasty on pasta. My favourite harvested weeds are amaranth (which we call marog), purslane, chickweed, lamb's quarters and dandelion. We allow certain wild foods to grow in our gardens and even cultivate them somewhat because they are a year round free food source and delicious too. Wild masoba/umsobo/nastergal/black nightshade berries provide fruit for the most delicious jam! Most people really miss out on some of the best foods by not learning to identify and eat the good weeds in their gardens. They're gifts. I harvest them, cutting off the roots, wash them thouroughly and drain them a bit. Then they're tossed in plastic bags and frozen to use later in the year for an out-of-season-treat. After the rains I harvest lots of these from my garden beds. Along with amaranth, they make good companion plants to tomatoes, peppers, onions, beans, mint and basil. It's a gardener's friend, a living mulch and a valuable veggie. Thank you for the scriptural reminder too.

Lamb's Quarters or Pig Weed or Goose Foot, is Chenopodium Albicans, a leaf potherb that tastes like spinach when boiled and contains more vitamin C than spinach or violet leaves.

So, it's been a couple days since I first saw your video. I went out and collected some lambs quarters and had them with dinner last night. I wanted to share my very simple recipe to thank you for your inspiration: 1. Sauté slices of summer squash and zucchini in a touch of oil until they are cooked to your liking. 2. Turn off the heat, add raw lambs quarters, add salt & pepper to taste, stir lightly. Cover. 3. In about 30 seconds the lambs quarters should be wilted, and you're ready to serve. I had mine with a splash of balsamic vinegar. Very good.

I have lambsquarters (white goosefoot) that will grow to over six feet all in my garden. I let it go to seed anywhere it is not competing with the garden veggies. in the garden veggies I just pull it up and leave in in the garden to feed the soil. At the end of the season what I let grow tall, I put into my compost bin and it then grows in there the next year as well. You mention it is also know as pigweed but what I know as pigweed (Amaranth) is much different than lambsquarters. Redroot pigweed is what grows in my area.

A little witnessing I don't mind. But I am an atheist, I have my own personal faith and spiritual path and it is not that this is a Christian nation. We came to this country for freedom of religion. Peace and wellness to you, Good health and good eating. Thank you for spreading the word of the lambs quarters.

are there any dangerous side affects with this miracle plant Lambs Quarters?

[@starlightengramA]

Lambs quarters are great container plants. If you can contain them in the city, they will not become pest plants. These grow into thickets that will add years of your labor and sweat to your yard and garden chores. I hope you like wild spinach 4 times a day. You'll never keep up with it.

In south India it's called by " Sarkarai varthy Raja. It's very good for health

[@mickmoriarty7780]

In Australia we call Purslane or Portulaca Pig Weed. I haven't struck any Australians that eat it (apart form the Chinese ones like my wife).

[@Joe_Goofball]

American Indians are thought to be descendants of Asiatic peoples that migrated to North America over a land bridge which once connected Asia to North America. It's likely they brought seeds of plants they used when they traveled from their original homes.

Another example of good information and beautiful words. Just one thing put off I am not impressed with what appears your use of abundance. Remember he who lives by the sword will die by the sword

[@someguy2135]

She was joking, but of course they are vegan, even though they have been called pigweed, goosefoot, fat hen, etc. Learn about purselane to benefit from another great wild edible.

[@lorenbush8876]

I must have missed this one, I have some stuff that looks like that , I'll have to see what it smells like. I might use it for free fertilizer. Are you a vegetarian? If you can get by with that you should never have to worry about finding good meat to eat or a problem finding something to eat.

[@justincase1575]

I’ve been pulling it up and composting it as a useless weed! I won’t do that again! I’ll harvest it along with my beans!
