Stop overspending at the grocery store! The most nutrient-dense greens aren’t in the produce section—they’re growing wild right outside your door.
In this video, I reveal seven free, nutrient-dense “weeds” every vegan, vegetarian, and health-conscious eater should be foraging, cooking, and adding to their diet.
You’ll learn about:
🌿 Purslane (Portulaca oleracea): A top plant source of Omega-3 fatty acids (rivaling some fish!), perfect for salads or stir-fries.
🌿 Lambsquarters (Chenopodium album): Crushes kale for protein, calcium, and iron—essential nutrients for a plant-based diet.
🌿 Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica): A complete protein powerhouse, packed with iron and magnesium. Learn how to cook out the sting for an earthy, mild green.
🌿 Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale): Every part is edible (leaves, roots, flowers), packed with Vitamins A, C, K, and prized for natural liver support.
🌿 Plantain (Plantago spp.): A humble wild green rich in calcium, iron, and silica, great raw or cooked like collards.
🌿 Common Mallow (Malva neglecta): A silky green rich in calcium, magnesium, and fiber, excellent for thickening soups.
🌿 Wild Mustards (Brassica spp.): Peppery leaves full of Vitamin C, where the flowers and buds can be used like capers.
Foraging is a sustainable way to eat healthier, save money, and reconnect with nature’s abundance. These easy-to-find wild foods prove that nutrition can be simple, wild, and completely free.
