...Nettle: Blanch the young leaves to "disarm" the sting for a nutrient-dense spring soup (think of it as super-powered spinach), or use a cooled infusion as a mineral-rich hair rinse to add shine and soothe an oily scalp.

Dandelion: You can roast the cleaned, chopped roots in the oven till dark brown to make a caffeine-free, nutty "coffee" alt or toss in a smoothie or salad.

Happy #NationalWeedAppreciationDay There're so many weeds that're good for the #Earth & edible. Most people use chemicals to get rid of 'em 🥺🌱
This website gives warnings when eating weeds & which are edible. I like dandelion leaves in my smoothies & salads.

New recipe! To celebrate spring and #NationalWeedAppreciationDay, here is my recipe for Dandelion Jelly. Dandelions are delicious, good for us, good for the soil, and one of the earliest spring foods for bees.
