What weeds have god flavor?

Answer 1

Milkweed : Gather Flower Bud Heads (similar to Broccoli and Cauliflower) just before the blossoms open. This stage is signaled by the green Buds taking on a hint of pink, indicating that the pink Blossoms are about to open. Tender young leaves and stems may be included in your cuttings.

Milkweed pods, which form after the flowers have bloomed, are also edible. They have a different flavor and texture. Pick them when they are about 2-1/2 inches long. Put them in a sink or bucket and cover them with cold salt-water for a half hour. Cut into bite-sized pieces; Cook them in boiling water, stirring occasionally. When you are able to stick a toothpick through a thick stem; they are done. If the flavor is too pronounced for you, boil them again in a second water.
The flavor may be reminiscent of Green Beans.

Some weeds make superior eating. Lamb's-quarters, yellow dock, young dandelion leaves, purslane, chick-weed, land cress have two or three times the nutritional value of spinach or Swiss chard. Try these sautéed in garlic and olive oil and drizzled with lemon juice.

Greenbrier,'s rapidly growing vine tips are harvested in the spring and summer. Snap them off the ends of the vine with your fingers. They will crack where the tender shoot extends out from last year's woody tissue. Serve as a hot vegetable, add fresh to a lettuce salad.
Lambsquarters is probably the closest relative to spinach only it's better! Steam and serve. Pick out only the young shoots or allow a couple of large plants to grow and continue to harvest the new side shoots.
yellow rocket (Barbarea vulgaris), watercress (Nasturtium officinale), & day lily (Hemerocallis fulva), are considered eating delicacies.

Good Luck! Hope this is helpful.

Answer 2

Dandilions have a good flavour. Try to harvest the leaves while it is still pretty young, if you let them get huge they do start to get a little bitter.

You can also batter the flowers and eat them, and dry the dandilion root and grind it up to make a coffee substitute... use it just like you would coffee grinds and it has the same effect as coffee.

Broadleaf plaintain leaves are good for salads, and the long seed-stem things taste a bit like peanuts.

Clovers are pretty mild, but shamrocks (wood sorrel) contain oxalic acid which gives them a sour taste, but it's a good sour taste! Tastes a bit like rhubarb. Just don't eat too much (more than a handful or two) or it might upset your stomach a bit.

Answer 3

Pineapple weed. It grows best in compacted soils. Harvest it before the little cone on top begins to show yellow for best flavor. After that it will become increasingly bitter.

Answer 4

Beer is one of the world's oldest beverages, possibly dating back to the 6th millennium BCE, and is recorded in the written history of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. The earliest known chemical evidence of beer dates to circa 3500–3100 BCE. Evidence of the inhalation of cannabis smoke can be found as far back as the Neolithic age, as indicated by charred cannabis seeds found in a ritual brazier at an ancient burial site in present day Romania The most famous users of cannabis were the ancient Hindus of India and Nepal, and the Hashshashins (hashish eaters) of present day Syria. The herb was called ganjika in Sanskrit . The ancient drug soma, mentioned in the Vedas as a sacred intoxicating hallucinogen, was sometimes associated with cannabis God is great and God is good. But remember everything in moderation. Peace.

Answer 5

Purslane is a tasty weed. Sometimes it is grown as a crop. Some call it "Mexican lettuce", I'm not sure if that is derogatory or not. Goes great in salad- gives it a good succulent crunch!

Answer 6

nettles are the best full of iron and goodness crop them when they are young - wearing rubber gloves - they are spinachy.
Coltsfoot is quite nice - not strictly weeds but leaves of nasturtiums which are prolific are peppery and nice

Answer 7
