Have you ever eaten weeds?

Dandelions, Alfilaria, Stinging Nettle, mustard greens from the field at the edge of town?

Yes to dandelions. these were flower heads fried up in a bit of butter

I've also eaten the leaves, I think I prefer raw flowers

@Stitch You gather the leaves yourself?

Stitch · 22-25, F

@UnderLockDown Yes, I find a nice meadow a lil bit further from the city, so that I know it's clean. And then I pick them with a knife. It's easiest if you get it with a root. And then you clean and cut it at home.

@meJess how is it?

meJess · F

@Ferric67 I’m not sure it’s anything really very bland

@MyNameIsHurl Those are the best.

I grew up eating dandelions

Yes. Pokeweed is pretty good.

UnderLockDown · M

@Azlotto I need to find some and try it, it was a staple many years ago.

DDonde · 31-35, M

I don't think I have

@DDonde Some wild veggies are far more nutrient dense than their domestic counterparts. Steamed stinging nettle is fantastic with a little butter and salt. You should try it, it's super healthy too.👍
