RE: Forager’s Hike: Walking Through Bay Laurel and Miner’s Lettuce

in #nature7 years ago

This is a lot of knowledge about plants from you @donkeypong. Among all these varities am well versed with Miner's lettuce which is grown a lot here in Uganda. Am even surprised people pay several dollars per pound for salad greens at the grocery store. These people are gifted with free natural diet ingredients growing up the hills.
Great history behind this plant.. I actually didn't known Miner’s lettuce is named because the gold miners who came to California beginning in 1849 ate miner’s lettuce to keep them from getting scurvy. Interesting reading this.
I've been enjoying the delicacy from this plant which we cook here in Uganda. Though I didn't know the nutrients it's rich in. Vitamin C, vitamin A, Iron, omega-3 fatty acids. This is massively abundant stuff from a plant that is undermmined by many. Having the same nutrients one can get from coldwater fish and eggs shows what many are losing out when they go spend expensively on different foods with low nutrient content.
