My 5 Favorite Wild Edibles & Their Uses

Hey guys in this video we go over my 5 favorite wild edibles and their uses. Wild edible plants are an amazing resource and many wild edibles can be gathered in your yard. Gathering wild plants for food is an easy task especially when gathering these five edibles. They all taste great and chances are that even your kids will enjoy them too. We talk a bit about each wild plant and how I like to prepare them for food, whether it be cooked nettle greens, or garlic mustard spread. You're sure to learn a lot about some plants you may or may not know. Plants like the Violet, Lamb's Quarters, and Garlic Mustard all taste great in the kitchen and in many recipes.

I made stinging nettle tea for my husband hoping it would help his allergies, it didn't but! He said it made his calves quit cramping (he's a mill worker and always on his feet). His shoulder was sore and so I put some stinging nettle extract in his lotion and it relieved that too! Good stuff 👍 thanks Josh

My favourite is Hawthorn. It's extremely common where I live. The new leaves in Spring taste amazing, and it also can have fresh growth throughout the year, but even the older leaves are very tasty. They taste kind of like flour. I don't like the blossom so much, but the berries are good, like a creamy apple flavour, and contain preservative for making fruit leather that can last for years.

I LOVE the flowers of the dandelion plant!
And to think I used to dig the "weed" up and throw it away!

This video made me super hungry. Hahaha. I didn't know nettles were a good source of protein. Very nice information. Can't wait to eat some wild edibles this year. I moved into my rv one week ago and I've been fixing it and getting it prepared to bring it and park it in my forest to live there.

Most would never imagine harvesting nettles, especially those who have accidentally brushed up against them at the wrong time of the year. Wow!, What an itching sting! We actually called it itchy weed, Haha
I must say how impressed I am with your knowledge, Thank you!

Nettle soup is one of my favorite dish in the summer.

*Drooling over that wrap ...The violets made the presentation of it so nice. Going to try and use it to "pretty up" some of my dishes, since my kids since they eat with their eye balls. :P ...Seriously though if it's not pleasing to the eye they wont touch it! haha..Thank you for sharing ! :)

My favorite edible plant is ramps. I have been putting them in just about everything ive cooked this spring.

Thank you Josh for the information. It's so hard to find a safe space were there are no pesticides that have been used. I would love to start looking for wild edibles. It would be a great hobby to get into.

We enjoy the Garlic Mustard in early spring, then it tastes good. Once the heat gets going, they get too bitter for us. Also chickweed is one of our favorites, best weed pie is chickweed. We are also love lambs quarters and dandelion.

Pittsburgh PA: Still harvesting stinging nettles in November. I mowed them back a bit in Sept, and they've been growing in like new. March-Nov. And you can eat them raw, too, if you throw them in a blender with orange juice and a banana. Keep it raw! LOL

[dawnmorning]

Love spring. So much growing. Thanks for a review again. Can we look forward to new videos?

[dawnmorning]
