You’ve been ripping these plants out of your yard, spraying them, poisoning them. Yet every spring, they come back — through driveway cracks, along fences, and all over the garden like they were never gone.
What if I told you the plants you’ve spent money trying to kill are actually more valuable than any vegetable you carefully grow in your garden?
You will be surprised. One of these plants is sold at health food stores for twelve dollars. Another one has been used by doctors since ancient Greece. And the one I saved for last contains the highest levels of omega-3 fatty acids of any land plant on Earth.
So before you grab that spray bottle, watch this first.

I wanted to listen but i felt sick when the ai voice started. Somethings need a human
Does white clover have similar properties?
Hanging sheetrock, 35’ Ceiling. When the SheetRockers arrive, the house is getting prospective buyers. So they remove the “Redford’s Honey Buckets”( out house)
I snuck out, into the field, out of sight.
When i was walking back, my entire lower end got warmer and warmer,,, i had sat in Nettles. ..😂
Are these ruined if dried and ground into a powder ?
My husband was in a car accident. Not hurt seriously but had a wound on his arm that bled every night while he was asleep and he woke up with blood on the sheets and himself in the mornings. I happened to notice stinging nettle around my ornamental pond and I gathered some and made a poultice. Soaked some gauze and taped it over the wound. It never bled again and healed nicely. It's interesting how you find what you need when you need it. There has never been nettle growing there again.
I swear, the old guy that had this place when I was growing up, he had all these plants growing here. I mow but do not put down any chemicals.
The AI narration continues to screw up. 😅😅
Street people could be wealthy by these if they'd just learn this. Lol I tried to teach some of them, but they didn't want the help.
When nettles are still young and tender eat them rendering an immunity for the whole summer
Most true native American Indians know all of the plants. They've learned them and passed down that knowledge from generation to generation. Aho.
I love the info and the importance of these plants!! I wish there was a book on these plants that cover growing zones, uses, storage for winter used and how to increase crop size
This is so interesting, our father in heaven would leave plants to heal his children.
Safe, accurate, and reliable identification using botanical characteristics is the first rule of foraging and herbalism. Plant i.d. apps and google aren't reliable enough to be safe, but they are an ok place to start narrowing down options. If you are serious about foraging, even in your own yard, get a couple different field guides (real books!) with color pictures. Consider taking a local foraging or botany class.
Plants are intelligent and adaptive. Some can cause serious health crises with little direct contact. Always know, 100% without a doubt, what plant you are looking at, no matter where it grows, before touching it.
We have almost all but Mullen. Need to grab some from the side of the rd on the way home. Hahaa
Thank you for this info!❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for educated us
I've broken many of these before.
Wonderful information that is awesome and available by the generous nature. Thank you God for the simple things in those You created for our benefits. 👏🤝
I transplanted some of the wild violets in my parents place into a large pot to grow them there, I also had a violet flower garden while growing up. I have wild blue violets, wild yellow violets and the wild white ones in there.
That's a very meaningful sharing, thank you.
I had some portulaca (purselane) in my salad the other night now I'm craving it again. Pig weed is a good one that should have made the list.
No! I did not eat Nettles! As in Delightful.
I sat in them .
🫵😂🤭🎂❤️🔥

Yes, as a child in the forest, where I grew up..Native American😊
Too much talk. 5 minutes is max!!!!
I have purslane growing in my flower pots. If the deer don't get them first, I add purslane to my smoothies regularly.
interesting video
