There is so much in our gardens and out in the countryside that looks great and tastes great too. The leaves of the beech tree are one such edible delight! Best eaten in spring, and only when the leaves are a light green and very young. Add them to salads in small measure or simply pick one of a hedge as you’re passing and nibble away!
I hope you find this garden tip useful and start foraging your own edible leaves!
*** Note of Caution: Never eat anything unless you are 100% certain what it is! ***
Beach makes a magnificent tree and when trimmed into shape it also makes a wonderful hedge but did you know they were edible it’s best to pick them in spring when the leaves first appear later in the season the leaves get darker and a little more [Music] tough and then go make a salad I’m going to cut the leaves into thin strips just a simple salad here tomatoes cucumbers and a little bit of pepper add the leaves and you’re good to [Music] go lovely the leaves add a nice lemony touch it’s more of a garnish than a main vegetable but it definitely adds an interesting element to your salads here they go thanks for watching please like And subscribe and see you next time bye for now
