๐ฅฐ Hi beautiful people ๐ฅฐ
๐ฅ In this video, we’ll discuss the Ground Elder and what it is, as well as some of its benefits and uses.
๐ฑ Ground Elder is a weed that is usually found growing in your garden or open areas near woods or fields. It’s commonly used in herbalism, as it has a variety of benefits, some of which we’ll discuss in this video. If you’re curious about this “cursed weed”, then be sure to watch this video to learn all about it!
๐ If you have it in your garden don’t fight it, eat it!
This good edible green was brought over by the Romans as a food staple, but soon spread countrywide.
๐ฟ It tastes like sweet parsley only better.
I don’t have it in my garden, and I always wanted to forage it.
๐ Finally, I managed to taste it during Solihull Spring Foraging Course with Wild Food UK. Yay! ๐ฅณ
๐พ During New Year Eve I remember telling my friend when we were standing outside in her garden for toast that I really wanted to see her Ground Elder! ๐
โ๏ธ Of course it was winter and nothing was growing.
๐ช Phew, I’m glad I could finally meet ground elder in March. I need to find my foraging spot. I’ll be on lookout for it.
๐ The young translucent leaves are best for salads. The slightly older leaves can be cooked like spinach, but when the leaves become course and papery they are best left on the plant.
โ๏ธ If you have a patch of Ground Elder keep cutting it back and young fresh leaves will grow back in no time.
๐ฅฑ Once Ground Elder flowers it becomes a mild laxative, a diuretic and a soporific so it is best not eaten once the flowers appear or one could fall asleep and wake up ๐ฉ in all sorts of trouble!
๐ช Give it a try today and see for yourself how great Ground Elder can taste!
๐ Letโs have a sneak peek together!
Iโm curious to know what do you do with Ground Elder? Have you got favourite recipes to share?
