RE: Dried Lambsquarter and Magenta Spreen Leaves for Wintertime Vitamin and Mineral Supplements
How wonderful! Sounds like you have an amazing smorgasbord of yummy weeds in your garden :) Did you know you can use mallow leaves as a binder in baking (replacement for egg)? I definitely have a love for weeds, every year more and more so. They offer us so much love and care :)
I did not, thank you for that tip. Although the Australian malllow is slight different to the northern hemisphere malllow, so I might have to double check it would work first. Or maybe just experiment!
That's interesting I didn't think about the different mallows. Mainly it is the mucilaginous quality of the mallow growing here that allows it to bond with flour. If your mallow leaves are also mucilaginous it might be worth trying!
The leaves aren't very mucilaginous, but the seed pods are if you chew them. They seem to react more with the saliva though
