Weeding your garden is important to give your veggies and herbs the best possible chance to grow well – but did you know that some of the most common garden weeds are edible?
Weeding need never be a chore again if you use it as an opportunity to harvest delicious edible weeds that can be eaten alongside your more conventional crops.
In this video we identify some common weeds which also happen to be pretty tasty. We explain how to harvest them and which parts can be used as delicious free ingredient in drinks, salads, soups and pasta

My son loves woodsorrel for it's sour flavor. I've also been eating purslane as I pull it from the garden. Look up purslane, it's delicious and very nutritious. But also look up how to tell the difference between it and purge as it is toxic and they look similar if not shown the differences. In a couple years, I may try some clover flower tea after I'm done nursing and the clover has had time to spread throughout the lawn more.
Wood Sorrel is my all time favorite weed to eat.ย Yum.ย I've even gotten my young nephews eating it.ย
First let me say that I am so glad I subscribed to this channel!ย I am learning a lot!ย Clover sprouts are sold in our stores.ย Would that be the say as mentioned below?ย We have used dandelions to color eggs.ย
not weeds, but I thought to share about brassica leaves which are edible. ย We grow the plants for the head or flower, as in Broccoli, but the many large leaves get discarded, and thus waste food. ย Leaves of Cauliflower and Brussels sprouts are also edible, as are carrot tops and sweet potato leaves.
The copper is just for comic relief, right? Who can afford copper pipes that size? I've found aluminum foil more effective, and it doesn't patina like copper.
I would add purslane to that list.ย It is delicious, tender and full of omega 3 nutrients. Also, it grows abundantly.
I grow nettles in my garden, to help my tomatoes out, and for my consumption. If anyone cares to do the research, you'll find nettles have some wonderful nutritional and medicinal properties. Anyway, to keep from cooking most of the nutrients out of nettles (or any plant) I simply toss a few (fresh) leaves in my smoothies, with apples, clover, dandelion and what ever else I can find around the lawn. Something that most do not know, most wild edibles are packed with way more nutrients than cultivated veggies. That's probably why they're more bitter. So I slip a few wild edibles in my apple smoothies, and down the hatch. So, that's my 2 cents worth (or 2 pence for you). Great video.
I have every one of those weeds growing in my yard. I also have what I think may be watercress…
Got a problem with weeds? Ever thought of eating them? Here is a video that gives some great examples of free edibles…

I think the nettle stinging demo was a little unnecessary…also, if you're gonna eat dandelions, leave the flowers alone. Just take the leaves. The bees rely on dandelion flowers when other flowers are in short supply.
Why would you dispose of the dandelion root??!!! Roasted dandelion root is so nice! Also if you roast it until it darkens it can be used as a caffeine free coffee alternative! ๐
Ground Elder can be used as a substitute for Parsley, because it has the same flavour.
Very good info and video, Thank you so much.
This video could be highly dangerous since it encourages people to use
garden plants as medicine. Someone could mistakenly identify toxic
plants as the ones shown in the video and end up poisoning
themselves……
Dandelions, powerful healers!
Please do not eat the weeds. -Dedue

Plantain is a great abundant weed and can be used for drawing out poisons from wounds or bites and stings. I have used long leaf plantain for infected gums to instantly heal them,they should be washed and chewed and made into a poultice for the infected area. Also they make an excellent vegetable as they have a mushroom taste.
but isn't a weed by definition an un wanted plant so any edible plant can be a weed if its grow in an area you dont want it
Whatever happened to this host? great video ๐
