Lambsquarter

Post by badflash »

Lambsquarter is another wild green that my cherries and amanos really love as do my brigs snails. They may like it more than dandelion. This is a common weed.

Here is a pic and description:

If you put a leaf underwater in a clear glass the back side will appear to be silver.

Cook for 5 minutes in boiling water, then drain. It can be frozen for later use. You can eat it too. It tastes a lot like spinich and is actually cultivated in some places as a vegetable.
