RE: Salads from Weeds, Tree Leaves, Flowers, and Seeds – [Steemit Food Challenge 4: 15-minute meals]
Great article about an interesting subject. I've been interested in knowing how to identify the weeds, leaves, etc. that are edible because the way this old world is going, we may wind up having to forage in the wild for our own food. And wild salad fixin's are very healthy.
Thanks! There is so much out there for us to enjoy. But it does take some learning. You enjoy the outdoors so much, so you probably already know a lot of plants that can be used. I'm a big fan of starting with the plants that people know, rock solid in their identification, and then figuring out how those plants can be used. What plants do you know already, really well? I'm not asking what edible plants you know, but what plants you know well. I find that people are surprised to learn some of the plants that they see everyday, and can ID well, are good to eat.
Finding edible trees is also a good place to start. They are a lot harder to confuse and they don't change their location like a lot of our weeds. Are there any trees that you know how to ID really well already?
