It’s delicious in risotto. Just add the (washed) leaves in at the end, about 2 minutes before you take the risotto off the stove. So easy too, no chopping like with chard or kale leaves.
Nou I see it all over the place, problem in this area they spray so much chemical trails -Air Crap, that damage the plants -weeds fields & forest so much, this weed cannot be eten annymore 😢
My god I hate these "shorts" videos. What possess people to make videos in Portrait mode?, rendering all our "widescreen" monitors worthless. Like trying to watch a supposedly informative video on a postage stamp.
Growing right in front of my flower garden that I didn’t have time for this year and has went to weed-now I have this, amaranth and sunflowers growing there and didn’t do a thing-I’m going to keep it!
A mature, tall-as-me plant was in a bad spot. I cut the plant stem at the base and put the whole thing in a steamer pot. I ate the entirety except the last foot of stem! Very tasty.
A word of caution for a specific population. Regular or excessive one-time consumption of Fat Hen may be unhealthy for people with chronic kidney disease. That’s precisely because of the qualities that make it so healthful for other people- it’s not just high in magnesium. It’s high in phosphorus (and calcium, potassium iron and manganese). People with impaired kidney function may struggle to filter out excess phosphorus in particular. With many, but not all, minerals when we get more than we need, we have to shed the extra in urine,
Say the names of the plants slowly and carefully and keep repeating it instead of saying 'they.' You rush through the names and don't repeat it. That's poor presentation. You're saying something like 'lamps war.' What the heck?
I'm turning my lawn into a herb garden naturally, I've got a ton growing now. A big portion of my yard is now good herbs and plants. The deer just eat a lot of it, but it's so much better than grass
That's called hog weed all my life i heard it called howled. I heard stories about in the 1930s people were starving depression they would cut poke salad stalks into slices and fry it dont know if it's true or not.
ORACHE is absolutely my favorite salad 🥗 ingredient! It’s also so pretty with its green, dark red colors that I usually put it into a vase on a dining table to brighten up the setting. ORACHE is beneficial and yet very hard to grow on the West Coast for whatever reason. Local Farmers Market suppliers who grow all organic produce report disappointing growth and inconsistent harvest with real ORACHE.
I have been eating it almost daily June- Nov. for a long time. This year I will try drying some. Fun Fact: The name comes from a bastardization of Laumus Quarter, one of the Pagan quarterly celebrations. Specifically the one in the Autumn during the anual harvest. Lamus means "harvest". They featured this plant in the stew that was served during the celebration. So, technically, Lamb's Quarters meand ;Harvest celebration, and has nothing to do with lambs, and everything to do with human stupidity.
Chenopodiums are the best.. I'm growing in my garden now Red Aztec Spinach (Chenopodium berlandieri).. the leaf is outstanding in just about anything, esp. miso soup (I prefer it cooked).. prolific producer of foliage.. now letting it go to seed to harvest the grain, I'm given to understand cooks just like quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa).. and, surprisingly, I had a Giant Red Spinach, or Spinach Tree, or Magenta Lambsquarters (or somesuch common names) volunteer in my garden as well.. gonna collect seed from that one.. (Chenopodium giganteum)

I've had some and cooked it like I do spinach just saute them with olive oil and salt just as good if not better.
Its yummy raw to me. Pinch the soft tips. It reseeds throughout the season too.

Does it have square stems?
I live in Southern Oklahoma. I want to do some native edible "weed" eating but Im just too afraid of making a fatal mistake.
Is this plant based magnesium absorbable in humans, though?
That's a tall lambs quarter. The ones i see get knee height at most 😮

I keep pulling these out. Ugh. Okay.
I have a whole patch of Lambs Quarters that I cultivate as a crop. ❤
Love the pink
👍

A good amount of some minerals shown, but what is the serving size for that amount?

I try to pull out a few for my Chickens every day.
I chop it up and preserve it with salt kept in the fridge for use in winter cooking. I do the same with the seeds.
Komosa biała / Lebioda in 🇵🇱 😉
I propagate and eat this everyday, they are high in oxalate, cook them first! 2 min boil makes them safe for daily mass consumption!
Doesn’t this plant have counter indications? As far as I know it does
One of my favorites!
Oooo!! I found ONE in my yard, its almost to seed so now I will ciltivate it. ❤❤❤

I love lambsquarters. They're also so important to indigenous history
Had a few drops of oil to your blanching water will keep the leaves nice and emerald green. Don't over blanch it and it will still pop with color
