Good to finally identify these two dandelion relatives, prickly lettuce and sow thistle. Back in spring 2020, both of these were growing in my back yard and they helped to keep me supplied with a green veg during Covid Lockdown.
I have loads of sow thistle. I pull them out of the ground if i get to them. They spread like crazy. I didn't know they were officially edible. I've eaten a leaf or two. I guess I wasn't impressed. Is there any other benefit besides that they can prevent starvation? I always thought that milk sap could be useful for something.
Good Grief!!!! This is the BEST explanation and description of all the videos I've seen. I let each of these plants grow wild on my property. Finally, I can discern which is which!! Thank you so much!! Subscribed!
After a year of not so successful gardening I decided to pay attention to the plants that were thriving ("weeds") and discovered mallo, nettle, dandelion and sow thistle. I did mistake the sow thistle for dandelion and used it in a salad which I was very sleepy after. Looking for clarification and thats is how I found you.
It looks very similar to what we call puha in New Zealand and there are several types according to how they grow. The prickly one is shiny and resembles a thistle to the touch, but will not penitrate the skin and is harmless, the other looks almost identical to what you have. They are very much sought after in New Zealand for their culinary value and cooked with fatty rather than lean meats along with accompanying vegetables. It's what is commonly known as, "boil up". There is a special way of preparing them and are not eaten raw as a salad, but are cooked with fatty meat rather than lean and cheaper less expensive cuts, brisket, neck chops, a variety of chops pork being the most popular. If they are identical, you're in paradise. Nuku noa, from New Zealand.
Thanks for explaining all of the differences in prickly lettuce and the SO Similar look-a-likes! This year, after the hurricane I’ve got tons of these.
Love this. I saw a different video a couple of weeks ago and was telling my dad about it. Today, I found what I was pretty sure was prickly lettuce, and sure enough, it is. Thanks for the informative video. I'll be letting it go to seed so I can send him some. 😊
I really appreciate the side-by-sides! So helpful!!! I was hoping to find some prickly lettuce in my yard tonight but it was all sow thistle. Now to watch your video on sow thistle 🙂
I have a plant in my backyard that is very similar to the lactuca serriola, but its stem is purple and the leaves grow very far apart, about 10cm apart from leaf to leaf, it also has arms that are not straight up, but a single plant covers almost a meter and a half tall, thank you for your very helpful videos🙏👏💖👌
It might be a related type called Lactuca Canadensis. It apparently is not quite as powerful as a medicine, and often doesn't have the rib prickles. Even after watching several vids, I needed to look them up in Wikipedia to confirm.
I appreciate all the information included here. Now I know what grows prolifically in fields and drainage ditches in the vicinity nearby is sow thistle. I don’t eat them, I try to get rid of them by pulling out of the ground before they flower and go to seed. Thankfully they are easy to pull up and the prickles don’t hurt when the plant is young.
What an excellent video!!! I'm so grateful to have found this and your channel. We're in Ontario but I'm subscribing anyways, just for this reason! We have plants in common 🥰🙏 Thank you!!
I really appreciate the very comprehensive video. All other videos I've seen left me with unanswered questions and this video "LITERALLY EXPLAINS EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW TO IDENTIFY THIS WONDERFUL PLANT
Another good video idea I would watch is if you did the research on exactly where wild lettuce grows, and what other plants like to grow next to it something like that
Very useful video thanks for all the information. Thank you for the time you put into making. I plan to follow your TH-cam channel and pass it on to my friends both of them.
Thank you so much Okanagan ❤. I ve got all these weeds in my garden, I ve seen different videos to learn the distinction between them, well yours is the clearest one. I have back chronic inflammation and dare not "taste" the prickly lettuce last years. Today, with the springtime, they come back again and eventually, I ve just make a juice with banana +almond powder + apple + shia seeds : that was delicious and did reduce efficiently my chronic pains. Will try again for sure God bless you for sharing yr knowledge ❤❤❤
@@OkanaganGardenerandForager you are welcome. It was another site that talked about wild lettuce etc. I plan to research it more and I may go ahead & plant some lettuce to do and see if it does work like that.
I have two in my backyard that I’ve let flower and go to seed. I wanted to see the whole plant for identification. I plan on collecting the seed and plant it in a better location.
Sweet, refreshing my info’s. Reviewing and all. This spring it looks like my two specimens let plenty of seed go before I got to them. It’s all over my garden 😅. I’m looking for dandelion to add this year.
Best video about wild lettuce identification I’m glad you waited until some were fully grown consider yourself lucky I have to go out in the woods but now I finally feel confident enough thanks to your video & the picture this app
Oh hi there! Great video. Thank you for sharing. I’m going to go for a hike tomorrow and see if I can see if I can tell prickly lettuce and dandelions apart.
Hello Mrs Tanya. We're neighbors. I'm in Fayetteville (231) hwy. Great vid on these wild lettuce's. We have a bed of them in a corner of the house. I didn't cut any by mistake, and seeds even blew to neighbors across from us. I promise to do better this year. Have a quart bag of seeds however.
Walking through my old neighborhood trying to distinguish dandelion from the others. Never heard of prickly lettuce. “Wild”Dandelion looks different from what’s in the store. Thanks for the info. Now to see what they are good for!
Excellent plant ID video! A caution to share, and a request from anyone who has looked into the origins of the iceberg lettuce that is grown agriculturally: 1) prickly lettuce, as far as I understand it, is not GRAS (generally recognized as safe), esp if it's used on an ongoing basis. There are other herbs that help relax the body that are more safe and effective. Ex: any of the Artemisia spp, like mugwort, wormwood, and southernwood; kava root tincture; valerian. 2) I am almost certain that iceberg lettuce was not bred from Lactuca serriola, even though this has been the general consensus when you research it. I believe it was a close relative of Lactuca serriola, and this is why there could have been confusion. Of course, the original breeding could easily have taken place hundreds of yrs ago, and so the breeding evidence is lacking. If there is anyone out there who already has researched this and found this to be true, then pls share! Thx again for the video and the opportunity to share.❤
kind sir: I harvested like 15 lbs of wild prickley lettuce and I have been eating it for a whole week, with no ill effects. They taste like spinach, a little. The spring tender growth makes them taste real good. I eat it raw, or saurkrauted. My question is: how do I grow it? Right now, I just have them wild in the yard, the prickly lettuce, the hawkweed, the dandelions, and milk thistle. But, I don't know how to grow the prickly lettuce.
Absolute FAVORITE chicken weed! 🐓🥚🐓🥚🐓🥚🐓🥚🐓🥚🐓 I guess I musta fed some of these to my now 1 year old girls when pretty young and still in their brooder. They all adored them and quickly annihilated the garden I thickly planted with them! ❤Nice to be very sure this was it. I’ve opened up a small pasture and I now attempt to keep them growing with a bit of protection. One neat thing about this letuca, is how easy it is to harvest the top foot while still youngish, and several side branches will soon sprout for multiple new harvests. I can’t seem to grow enough for them. Are they perhaps addicted to its effects??? Magically, for myself, During Covid, but AFTER I supplemented my dangerously sickly low 6ng /ml D LEVEL up (now well) above 50ng , (125nmol/L) ALL of my pains & long-standing severe depression disappeared, so I have no medical need for myself. My flock can joyfully have them all🎉
Thanks, great explanation and visual of the different look a likes! Now I have to figure out what I have! Thought for sure it was a wild lettuce, but I don't think so now. It has triangle leaf stem shape, deeply loved leaf, milky sap that turns brown, purple-ish/ streaked main stalk, over 6 ft (& starting to flower), BUT, No prickly leaf stem! ....Kind of bummed because I wanted to make a tincture.
I heard you can use sow thistle and wild lettuce for the same medicinal reasons and possibly ALL the plants show in this video have similar pain killing properties
Hi! I really loved the video, but I'm still confused on what I have in my garden. It is not flowering and they are very tall. I thought it would be prickly lettuce but then when I just watched the difference in leaves I'm not too sure now. I was hoping you could help.
What does the opium in lettuce do for pain/arthritis ? Where does prickly lettuce grow ? I'm in Mississippi I really need some of that as much as I can get
So I I literally have a 2 acre field that has been about 5 years of not having commercial crops in it. And now these grow wild. Like the whole field. Are these harvestable as a natural medecinal use at all?
After watching many videos lol I think I am finally getting the hang of this. Great identification video, I believe I have lactic candensis growing here, not very prickly but still has the prickles on the spine and not on every leaf. Other than that the growth habit is very similar to your prickly lettuce, not sow thistle. Are the flowers edible too?, as obviously it is too late in the season for the leaves.
I guess it depends on what you're doing with them. I made a tincture using as many leaves as I could fit in a jar soaked in vodka. For eating them, you could try one and see how that goes. You could probably cook and eat a whole bunch if you wanted to, but I would say you have to listen carefully to your own body about all of these options and see how it makes you feel to know if you should proceed further.
Seeing all those leaves side by side is super helpful!
Good! I'm glad it's helpful. Thank you!

Wow that's so cool!

Is there any other benefit besides that they can prevent starvation? I always thought that milk sap could be useful for something.
They are good to eat. I eat them from the yard
I thought it was lettuce but it stabbed me so I tossed it.
Foragers of the galaxy, unite!

Thank you for the BEST most thorough video for identifying this!
Thank you! I really appreciate that. I was hoping it would be helpful!
The best video I've found for identifying this plant so far on TH-cam.
Thank you! I really appreciate that!

I did mistake the sow thistle for dandelion and used it in a salad which I was very sleepy after. Looking for clarification and thats is how I found you.
I hope I helped to clarify things!
so which one gets you sleepy?
I started to pay attention to the plants that was thriving 🤣🤣🤣
Brilliance 👏🏻
The absolute best video on ID of Wild Lettuce I've seen yet...
Thank you so much!
Can’t tell you how valuable your videos are, especially for what’s coming. Thanks! ♥️ you make me giggle 🤭
Thank you so much! I'm glad they're valuable for you!
I have some of this still growing in winter time here in middle GA, it was 25 degrees on a few different nights and it has not killed mine.

That sounds really good! Thank you!
From Wikipedia: Puha or Püha may refer to: Sonchus, genus of annual herbs (sow thistles).
So grateful for this video. I have both prickly lettuce and sow thistle identified due to you!
Oh, good! I'm glad it helped! Thank you for watching!
Awesome! Your videos are informative, palatable, and well delivered. Thanks for taking the time to make them! 🙂

I'm glad it was helpful! Thank you!
I have 1 plant in Tennessee growing in a crack in the cement on my patio. Everything else is dandelion & sow.
I have a plant in my backyard that is very similar to the lactuca serriola, but its stem is purple and the leaves grow very far apart, about 10cm apart from leaf to leaf, it also has arms that are not straight up, but a single plant covers almost a meter and a half tall, thank you for your very helpful videos🙏👏💖👌
Same here, very prickly purple main stem...major lactose/white sao...I don't know what it is??? ( anyone )
We call it 'JAKHAIÑ'. We eat it raw, we also cut it into pieces and mix with diced onions, diced green chillies, mashed potatoes and minced pork.
It might be a related type called Lactuca Canadensis. It apparently is not quite as powerful as a medicine, and often doesn't have the rib prickles. Even after watching several vids, I needed to look them up in Wikipedia to confirm.
I foraged some prickly lettuce today
Nice!
Where you got your seeds
I appreciate all the information included here. Now I know what grows prolifically in fields and drainage ditches in the vicinity nearby is sow thistle. I don’t eat them, I try to get rid of them by pulling out of the ground before they flower and go to seed. Thankfully they are easy to pull up and the prickles don’t hurt when the plant is young.

Great video. Saving this as a reference because I’m certain that I’ve seen some of these weeds growing in my backyard here in Australia. 🇦🇺
Thank you! I hope it helps!
I have read that you can grow regular lettuce and let it go to seed you can harvest it and get similar benefit as with wild lettuce.
Oh, interesting! I hadn't heard that. Thanks!

How many leaves should you start off with ?
I guess it depends on what you're doing with them. I made a tincture using as many leaves as I could fit in a jar soaked in vodka. For eating them, you could try one and see how that goes. You could probably cook and eat a whole bunch if you wanted to, but I would say you have to listen carefully to your own body about all of these options and see how it makes you feel to know if you should proceed further.
Can the Floridian species also be used?
