Many weeds contain large amounts of nutrients and have medicinal properties.
Instead of ruthlessly pulling them out while weeding and then throwing them away, use them as an addition to a salad, soup or sauce.
For example, chickweed, also known to gardeners as “chickweed,” is an excellent analogue of basil when it comes to making pesto sauce.
But that's not all - chickweed can also be added to salads and smoothies. Its taste can be called almost neutral, but it is quite moist, so don't be shy and put a lot of the herb on your plate.
It's even better if you mix chickweed with other greens when preparing dishes.
Woodlice are also great as a sandwich decoration - just place a sprig of the herb on top.
And this herb can easily replace spinach - for example, in soups, together with beet tops. Just add it no earlier than 5 minutes before it is ready.
Please note: the tastiest woodlice are young. The older the plant, the less tender its stems, leaves and flowers.
