Not many people know, but a number of weeds can be used as a healthy, and most importantly, tasty addition to a salad, soup or sauce.
Pigweed
Young leaves of the amaranth, which you have probably noticed in your garden, have a pleasant, sweet, juicy taste.
They can be dried and then chopped up and used instead of salt, and fresh herbs are good for decorating any vegetable soup.
Garlic
This plant, also known as the garlic clove, has a garlicky, slightly mustardy and spicy taste.
The leaves of the weed are used to make a green salad or added to the filling of pies. Delicious!
Fragrant violet
Wild violets have found use in the process of making beautiful jellies and candied decorations for all kinds of desserts.
In addition, the flowers are often frozen in ice cube trays to decorate drinks. Did you know that violet tea calms nerves and relieves coughs?
