In my country in Armenia we eat purslane but not amarath, but I knew some ate it. We had it grow in our backyard as weed and we pulled them out. When we had cows , they would eat them. I had heard it was edible, but wasn’t in tradition to cook them unlike some other weeds which had more specific taste.
Thank you for your knowledge and recommended books. My mother tried introducing these “weeds” to us when we were little. She was a Latvian farm girl before the war drove her from her home. She brought her wise gardening techniques with her and passed some wisdom on to us….watching your channel just reinforces what she was all about!
Purslane. My grandma cooks it with pork, cilantro, tomatillos, jalapeño, Mexican oregano, onion & garlic. I forget what she calls it, but I've eaten it that way, since I was a kid.
TY for the backyard edible knowledge. I live in florida, most these are in my yard as well. I plan on setting up a raised bed just for weeds like these. Please keep passing on your grandmother's knowledge. Have a great day!
I used to eat clover leaves often when I was a kid, because I loved the flavor! To me, they tasted just a little bit lemony kinda, just a really nice mild tangy flavor. Good to know they were safe to eat, lol!
That may have been wood sorrel. It looks very similar to clover but the leaves are heart shaped. There’s actually some in the background of the lamb’s quarter segment!
Purslane is packed with omega 3 and is a great food for chickens. Dandelions are 100% edible plus they help prevent soil erosion, help aerate the soil while pulling essential minerals up to the surface to feed other plants.
Just watched your video. I saw some broadleaf plantain among your clover, too. I like to pick the best delicate new leaves of chickweed, plaintain, verdolaga (purslane) and lambs quarters for our salads or for a simple stir fry. Big handfuls go to the chickens though!
Eat the wood sorrel growing beneath the lamb's quarters! Three heart shaped leaves. High in vitamin C and tastes like lemon but does contain oxalic acid like many weeds
When I " weed " my garden I usually snack on the weeds I pull out as I work in my garden , and many of the " weeds " end up in my salad bowl or in stir fries as Im waiting for my main crops to produce.
Wow purslane! i remember it when I was young I always picked those plant for our pigs! There so many here in the Philippines! We consider it as grass that's why people here ignored it!
Amarath is mom's favourite leafy plant. We call it "Thepe". As for purslane, we always throw it out. I didn’t know that you could eat it. Thanks for the information. I'll eat it next time when i see it.
This is a great video; very educational and entertaining. However, I would like to see more of your kitty cat. His coat looks so plush and is a gorgeous color 😍
So , Purslane grows all over my backyard 🤣🤣🤣 wow. I have been saving the dandelions here too as they attract the bees. But I didn’t know of the clover which grows here too when it’s cooler. TFS
We have lots of that ( porslane ) here in the Philippines...but as you said few knew it here. 2020 after the rain,nature grew it , and cook it delicious for lunch.
Hi Jonathan. Is purslane similar to alogbati plant? My nanay is Ilonggo and purslane grow in our front yard. Let me know because I might use it for tinola, thanks
@@marypenuela1274 no , alugbati is a different plant. Little bit earthy ang taste nya. Green and red variety cya. Purslane , it grows flat on the ground. Maliliit ang dahon also known as portulaca.
We have that plant you pulled out which other call pig weed here in Africa (North East of Namibia) And purslane too, we've been eating them here in Namibia. We call purslane in my language-"Dihenya." But now those weeds are disappearing. That's the bad part.
Thank you for all this information! I have religiously de-weeded all these plants from my garden, ignorant of all these benefits. Dear weeds please forgive me...
Bring water to a boil, remove from heat and add a mix of the wild greens. Let them sit over night. Add a coup to a gal of water and feed your veghie plants with them.
Hi that plant we eat already for long time. U can cook in a fried fish..Even the body u can cook it.. it's very healthy and easily grow in your garden . ♥️
@lulishomestead6767 in india v hv many more greens incl gongura n many native greens I m sure world over there must be looking to climate situation tgese greens which r highly resistant to changing weather patterns must be encouraged n v shud grow more millets unsteady rice n wheat as they req very less water fertilizer etc n more nutritious n fight bp diabetes malnutrition n other disease
Amarath in cebuano its wild plant or wild vegetabels its called (coletes nga baye) its good in gulay. chickweed its wild plant in cebuano (aloseman) its good in cooking vegetables like alugbate taste.
My people (Cambodians) have eaten amaranth and purslane for centuries. Delicious vegetables. Very nutritious. 🙂
That's awesome!
is it bitter or not
I am from Haiti, we eat all of these
@@haslinjas1075 not bitter

That sounds so delicious
THE AZTEC WOYERS CARRIED AMARANTH SEEDS IN A POUCH WHEN THEY WENT TO WAR,THIS SEED KEEP THEM STRONG AND GOING FOR DAYS.
Great video! The Plantains there and Dandelions too. Flowers and leaves.
Yes! Thank you!

So nice of you!

Delicious!
Now we know why they've been pushing the weed killers for many years!
That may have been wood sorrel. It looks very similar to clover but the leaves are heart shaped. There’s actually some in the background of the lamb’s quarter segment!
Yum we loved finding wood sorrel to eat tangy and the closed flowers we called pickles
1) Amaranth
2) Purslane
3) Chickweed
4) White clover
5) Lamb quarter
Thanks! Saved 15 minutes of my life!
yes Lambs quarter is at 12:40 :) love it !! and so do my chickens!!
Is it possible to access the book from Uganda
Wood sorrel growing all around that lambs quarter and some plaintain popping up in those white clover patches.
I just found amaranth in my garden :)
Purslane is packed with omega 3 and is a great food for chickens. Dandelions are 100% edible plus they help prevent soil erosion, help aerate the soil while pulling essential minerals up to the surface to feed other plants.
Thank you for sharing
Yep dandelions are non to pop up in abundance in areas with little calcium in shallow soil there known to pull up calcium from deep soil
Da ki khasi te sngewthuh da phareng ngim sngaw thuh
Purslane is ridiculously low in fat, so don't bother about omega 3...
Yes, good for chicken. I never eat plants so high in oxalate anyway!
Bees love white clovers keep it
Yes, absolutely!
You deserved a supporter from Philippines maam. This is a great idea that helps me a lot.
Just watched your video. I saw some broadleaf plantain among your clover, too. I like to pick the best delicate new leaves of chickweed, plaintain, verdolaga (purslane) and lambs quarters for our salads or for a simple stir fry. Big handfuls go to the chickens though!
Also saw the plantain and wood sorrel.
Your garden looks rich and healthy
Eat the wood sorrel growing beneath the lamb's quarters! Three heart shaped leaves. High in vitamin C and tastes like lemon but does contain oxalic acid like many weeds
Yeah,...It's very delicious
When I " weed " my garden I usually snack on the weeds I pull out as I work in my garden , and many of the " weeds " end up in my salad bowl or in stir fries as Im waiting for my main crops to produce.
That is so good!
You’ve got some wood sorrel by the lamb’s quarters, too!
Nice!
I grew up eating purslane. its very a common dish in Mexico
How did u eat them
@@franci9936 my grandma would fry them up with tomatoes and onions. We also would have them with scramble eggs
Wow! That’s so interesting. I had no idea they were even edible!
Missed the broad leaf plantain in the top left of the white clover a 7:59, they are delicious. Thanks for the video, very well done.
There are so many herbs right now under our feet !!!
I just found a bunch of white clover growing on the garden. I'm hoping it will attract bees and I can eat it also. Yay!
Thanks for sharing. I spotted broad leaf plantain mixed in with the clover l, that's an edible too.
Yes, we have a lot of plain plantain on our property
Wood Sorrel growing under the lambs quarters (3 heart shaped leaves) another tasty edible 🧐😊 They both Grow here in Manchester, England too.
Very cool!
Lambs quarter was the first. Fry it with bacon, bacon grease. Love it
@@scottbdivers724 delicious!
Wow purslane! i remember it when I was young I always picked those plant for our pigs! There so many here in the Philippines! We consider it as grass that's why people here ignored it!
Yes, I always eat them since you have said so and I am much more healthear now.
Thanks for saying so
In Jamaica 🇯🇲 that green plant that was broken when you were trying to pull it out from the ground is called callaloo
Amarath is mom's favourite leafy plant. We call it "Thepe". As for purslane, we always throw it out. I didn’t know that you could eat it. Thanks for the information. I'll eat it next time when i see it.

I love learning about these eatable weeds and everything that has to do with Homesteading
😃 I have subscribe to your channel
That pig tail has a huge tap root. It would be good to throw in a FPJ Korean fermented plant juice for fertilizing your garden
Great idea!
We have lots of that ( porslane ) here in the Philippines...but as you said few knew it here. 2020 after the rain,nature grew it , and cook it delicious for lunch.

And purslane too, we've been eating them here in Namibia. We call purslane in my language-"Dihenya."
