Doom, Doom, Gloom. Ok
I feel better.
Actually I thought I might do something a little more
useful. You know the world is headed for some major changes – Asteroid, Solar
Flares, Zombies – Who knows from what or where. Although the thought of being
the only one left in the world seems a little less stressful, I think it would
be more fun to live under a bridge if there were people to scare and goats to
eat.
I took some photos and thought I would share a bit of
interesting easy to remember info about things that grow wild and are edible.
Dandelion if there was ever a beneficial weed in the world
it is the Dandelion. I hope is makes it onto our favorite flowers list since
many of our most lovely flowers found their start as weeds. I cannot sing the praises of dandelions
more. It is a food worth examining
before it is one of those things you do out of desperation.
Mr Culpepper Explains that the Dandelion is under the
dominion of Jupiter and opens and cleanses the waters within. A natural diuretic and useful in opening obstructions
and cleansing the Liver, gall and spleen. All parts are edible (no not the body
part – ew!). Mr Culpepper was ahead of
his time.
Check out the nutritional value of one cup of raw dandelion greens, just 55 grams, dandelion greens. I think you will
be amazed. But don't limit yourself to just the greens try these other ways of making us of that omnipotent little treasure messing up your borring see of green grass.
I am thinking the biggest block to feasting on the
neighborhood lawns or the field is … do dogs tread or cows graze. Still it is always nice to know a little of the free foods in you community. Learn a few as part of the Plan B you are always thinking about.
