What if the most nutritious foods on Earth weren’t in grocery stores… but growing as “weeds” in your yard, garden, and sidewalks? 🌿
In this video, we reveal 20 wild edible weeds that are more nutritious than many store-bought superfoods, including dandelion, stinging nettle, lamb’s quarters, purslane, chickweed, yarrow, and plantain**—plants packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and medicinal compounds. Modern research is now confirming what traditional cultures already knew: many of these common weeds contain extraordinary nutrition and powerful natural healing properties.
🔥 Stick around because:
✅ #7 contains about three times the vitamin C of oranges
✅ #19 was used by field medics in both World Wars to help stop bleeding

23:08 did you just say nine-a-teen?
Awesome have a few of these in mini habitat. Going to use sticky plant and freeze it as ice cubes and add it to lemonade.
Both are growing all over the Environmental Education Center across the street. It was a farm converted to it's current state. Forests and fields, a small stream and wood chip trails for miles make up Camel Hump Farm.
I have a book on wild edibles I use for identification purposes.
I've decided to learn as many herbal medicines and edible plants that I can from now through Autumn.
At 72 I'm determened to learn all I can about the natural world and my connection to it all.
People don't appreciate the critical life sustaining relationship we all have with trees and plants. We NEED each other, though trees were here thriving before humans even existed. We humans need trees while trees can live without us! Our lives depend on greenery.
Helpful….., useful information
I had a mallow bush with pink flowers, about 4 ft tall. I went on vacation, and my manager cut it down. He was like an elephant, always taking down plants. 🌸🐘
watching for the second time, with a jotter by my side. i love all your videos
good job man
Add Moringa to the list.
Fabulous info. Makes me want to dedicate one growing box to just these super plants!
This convinces me that's why they came out with insecticide and weed killer because these weeds are healthier than the stuff you get in the store and it's free, maybe not from free from weed killer depending on where you are where you forage from and if they spray the sides of the roads and the fence lines.
I encountered dandelion and purslane last year. One of farmers at farmers market selling them. Dandelion is bitter. Purslane is very delicious
Today I cooked dockweed Sorrel plant leaves for dinner
❤
To help identify plants if unsure use your phone and Google Lens!
Red clover is what we feed cows and horses.

Violets, my great grandmother use to have me eat them. My mother scolded me if she found me picking them and eating the leaves and flowers. My mother was wrong!
The Chinese have used dandelion in ancient times
