Episode 68 – Edible Natives – Wild, Useful and Overlooked

Episode 68 – Edible Natives – Wild, Useful and OverlookedThis week on The Beanstalk, we're looking beyond the garden rows and exploring some of the edible plants hiding in plain sight. 🌿 From dandelions and purslane to dock, lamb's quarters, and other familiar wild plants, we're digging into what they are, how they've been used, and why some of the plants we call weeds are surprisingly useful. We'll talk about growing and harvesting them, safe identification, seed saving, and even turn a few properly identified wild greens into dinner. Most importantly, we'll cover why knowing exactly what you've found—and where it has been growing—matters before you ever take a bite. You may never look at the weeds in your garden quite the same way again! 🌱 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
