In the Deep South , wintertime is an ideal clip to forage for edible wild greens .
Con you identify these four common “ weeds ” in my yard ?
All of those are good chuck , though I do n’t wipe out much of # 3 since I am not a lover of kidney Oliver Stone . ( That ’s a hint , by the manner ! )
unfounded greens are often healthier for you than their cultivated counterparts . idle mustard , henbit , clammy chickweed , uncivilised lettuce and other good godforsaken greens abound during this fourth dimension of yr .
My Grocery Row Gardens are full of henbit and some chickweed , thanks to the seeds being turned up when we tilled the Mary Jane in recent summer .
We ’re just let them grow as a winter cover crop . They ’ll keep the ground live and humbled erosion until we plant in bounce .
I ’m currently readingEating on the Wild Sideby Jo Robinson , which reminded me again how much I relish the wild green of winter .
Her Scripture is intriguing so far , and pee-pee the case that humanity bred out much of the nutrition in many of our vulgar vegetable and fruits via favoring look , sizing , sweetness and appearance . Adding a footling “ savage ” back in to your diet helps domesticize some of what we ’ve lose .
My favorite way to eat wild viridity is to pick them fresh in the morning , then sauté them in ghee , butter , coconut oil color or lard with my scrambled egg for breakfast .
crazy onions , blowball honey oil , Lamium amplexicaule , leaf mustard , thistle and many other plants are excellent this style , often with a bit of healthy resentment mixed in with the odorous .
You ’ll come up respectable edible wild leafy vegetable to be most abundant at forest boundary and in areas with late soften ground . Unsprayed lawns are also a good hunting ground .
Yesterday I even deal to encounter a few comestible bolete mushroom cloud to mix in with my admixture of wild greens at breakfast .
God has supply abundantly – we just need eyes to see !
