Eatable MilkWeed (Foraging)

Foraging for Dinner by Mark Bittman


Milkweed
Personally I don't care for the recipes, their too rich for me, The idea /method is here.
Photos by Mark Bittman
These are unopened milkweed flowers; I began to eat them while first learning how to forage in central Vermont in the 70s. (How’d I learn? Euell Gibbons , of course.) The season is very short—just a couple of days for each plant, spread out over a period of maybe a week or two in any given location—so you have to be lucky to find them. Once the buds start to open up, they’re done. But when they’re tight and broccoli-like, as these are, they’re sweet, and cook instantly. I parboil them for a minute or two before incorporating them into other things. (Sometimes, I’m lucky enough to gather a big mess, and then I parboil them and toss them with vinaigrette or melted butter.)


Here, I made dirty rice, the Louisiana version of fried rice. I took leftover brown rice (I really love Kokuho, from Koda Farms) and tossed it with duck fat (coconut butter) and chopped duck/chicken liver from my friends at Grass + Grit (more on those folks soon), fresh garlic and Bonita beans, both hand-“imported” (by me) from California, scallions, kale, and turnip greens from Glynwood, and my milkweed buds (which, truth be told, did not steal the show, but neither did they disappear).
Other seasonings were minimal (that brown thing at the bottom of the picture is a dried chipotle). Obviously, you’re not going to duplicate this recipe but the concept is easy enough. And if you’re fortunate to find milkweed…check it out.

    Vermont may have plenty of milkweed, but many, most, other places in this country do not. You might want to consider sharing that info with your readers before they go out to collect it, particularly as you note the milkweed “did not steal the show” in your dish. http://digital.vpr.net/post/vermont-milkweed-could-help-monarchs-midwest-crop-declines#stream/0

    I am really surprised at this post, coming as it does from such an enlightened person. We don’t need to forage for our meals but butterflies do. Many of us are actually sowing milkweed in order to help the survival of the at-risk Monarch butterflies. This fascinating species needs milkweed to survive on its epic migration from Mexico to Canada. You (and we) have millions of other options at your fingertips for dinner. There is no need to eat milkweed! Please don’t eat the ONE plant the Monarchs need to survive!

    I think your buds might have been a bit lost, mixed in – they shine on their own. You may be interested in the piece (link below) I just wrote about common milkweed and ways to use it
    It is impossible now to write about eating common milkweed without addressing the butterfly concern; monarchists are on the correct moral side but are sometimes not very well informed about milkweeds in general.

    Agreeing with C Hart here. If you forage milkweed buds, make sure you leave *plenty* behind so they can propagate. Milkweed is a vitally important plant.

Strong Yarrow doses of tea, tincture everyday can start to affect the liver. Some people describe a feeling of pain or sharpness in the liver area after 2 weeks, depends on your size. It is fine to drink for its internal benefits, but don’t over do it. If you start feeling pain, lay off it, don’t continue consuming it for a while. It's always wise to read the comments

Plaintain (Plantago Major) Medicine

Herb Profile: Plantain

RE: wellnessmama.com/4638/plantain-herb-profile/
Cone come on Plantain late summer, the seeds are collected then
I would not root the plant because of a needed new crop next season.



Plantain is a useful herb that is often considered a weed by most people.
It is native to Europe and parts of Asia, but was said to have been introduced to North America when the settlers came from Europe. It’s scientific name is Plantago Major, and it likely grows in your yard.
The leaves are actually edible and somewhat similar to spinach, though slightly more bitter. They can be used in salads or other culinary uses.
We dry and freeze the leaf from our yard and I also order it in bulk from Mountain Rose Herbs, as I like this company (organic or wild). The all around salve is easy to make and get the recipe here on YouTube.

Herbal UsesProperties: Mucilage, Glycosides, Tannins, Silica, Vitamins C, K, Minerals.
Values: Cooling, Detoxifying, Demulcent, Astringent, Wound Healing, Decongestant, Expectorant, Antiseptic, Diuretic.
Blood: plain plantain tea is one of the best cleansers to remove toxins from the blood.
Colds: it's an excellent tea for people with allergies or asthma who are allergic to cold medication and very congested. It's fast acting! Stay with plantain tea until the congestion is completely cleared and you'll feel better than you did before the cold.
Deobstruent: unclogs passageway, particularly lung and liver obstructions (imbedded phlegm).
Hemorrhoids: take a sitz bath in plantain tea for fast relief. Also take the tea internally to treat the problem inside and out.
Lungs: particularly valuable for the lungs, to fight infection and remove phlegm. It's a time- honored remedy for weak lungs and coughs from lung disorders.
Prostate enlargement: helps detoxify tissues; dries, cools, cleans passages; reduces inflammation. It has been used to treat prostate enlargement.
Spastic Colon (Colitis): soothes and reduces pain, spasm, inflammation; detoxifies the colon; promotes healing. Take as a tea.
Skin infection: stops the spread of skin infections such as scabies, ringworm, shingles (a strain of herpes). Use plantain tea as a skin wash or in a bath for hard- heal skin infection.


The leaves can also be made into a tea or tincture, and this is said to help with indigestion, heartburn and ulcers when taking internally.
After it seeds

Externally, Plantain has been used for insect and snake bites, and as a remedy for rashes and cuts. I use it in making my Homemade Healing Salve, which we use as a natural antibiotic ointment on cuts and bruises.
Its natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties make it great for speeding recover of wounds, and for itching or pain associated with skin problems. A tea made from the leaf leaf can be sprayed on mosquito bites to ease the itch. (This herb would be good for the new mosquito plague)


From Mountain Rose Herbs:
Plantain has been used as a panacea in some Native American cultures and with some very good reasons. Many of its active constituents show antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, as well as being anti-inflammatory and antitoxic. (It's keys for the success of boils on bottoms) The leaves, shredded or chewed, are a traditional treatment for insect and animal bites and the antibacterial action helps prevent infection and the anti-inflammatory helps to relieve pain, burning, and itching. There is some investigation ongoing to study its affects on lowering blood sugar.
When we are bitten by mosquitos, stung by bees, or come in contact with spiders or other insects, I use a salve containing plantain leaf (or just chew the leaves and apply to the bite) to help ease the reaction. I also used a this salve and and a poultice of the leaves when my son was bitten by a brown recluse and continued this daily for about 2 weeks and his skin never decayed at the bite.
A tea, tincture or salve made with plantain also greatly eases the itch of poison ivy, oak, or sumac and I keep it on hand for this reason.
A tea or infusion of the leaf  can be poured into the ear for ear infections (as long as the ear drum has not burst) to ease the pain and shorten duration of ear infections.
There is unconfirmed information that a strong tea of this herb, taken internally, can help protect the body from the effects of chemotherapy and that a strong infusion can improve blood sugar. While taking plantain in these situations would generally be considered safe, one should still check with an attending physician before doing so.


I've also make a lotion with plantain, calendula and coconut oil and it is extremely helpful for any skin irritation, including mosquito bites, eczema, psoriasis, chicken pox, rashes and sores.

Where to Find

Most people are able to find this common herb in their own yards. If you live in an area where your yard is sprayed with chemicals or fertilizer, organic dried leaves can also be ordered online. If you prefer pre-made remedies, there are: plantain leaf first aid ointment for kids, plantain tincture, and plantain and goldenseal pre-made salve (its a natural Neosporin). If you can’t find Plantain in your area, you can actually order the seeds to plant Plantain (though your neighbors might think you are crazy!)

Plantain Precautions

Plantain is good for injuries because of its coagulating properties, but those with blood disorders or prone to blood clots should not use Plantain internally. If harvesting it yourself, make sure to get from an area that has not been sprayed with any chemicals or pesticides and make sure that you have correctly identified the plant before consuming.

Wild Mullein, Native American Lung Remedy

This is one of my post from Native American sources. It's one of my older post done in Sherm's Organic News, which is on draft. The flower of the herb I've used in a oil for my children's ear infections. I used the herb Mullein for Lungs. I've taken friends on herbal walks to showing them this herb. Never in the wild collect by the roads. Mother earth is everybody's garden leave what you can for next year. (roots)
If you take from Mother Nature, give something back.MULLEIN PLANT (Plentiful common wild flower, weed, wild eatable plant used for alternative medicine for centuries.

Please don't pick more than is needed.
Golden seal an antibiotic and a example of an herb that has been "over picked" whose seeds were not planted back where picked, and now are not available in the wild and controlled by the herbal company's which we pay too much their abuse. The blame belongs to mostly the herbal industry. Their should be laws that they need to replant famish areas they've over picked...especially, in famine situations in parts of the world.
I present this post in my blog because it's one of the "famine herbal," available for the needy please learn how to use them (Plantain, Nettle, Chicory, Dandelion, i.e.) Don't gather any plant by roads, it will have lead in the plant, nor near by fields where they've sprayed with pesticides or by ditch banks where the state kills off weeds.

Mullein use to be used for Indian diaper,( and smoking) so, I've heard and has been called Grandmother flannel" because of its soft thick fuzzy-furry leaves. The yellow flower has been used as a dye.
RecipesTea: An aromatic tea can be made by boiling 1 tbs. dried leaves or root, in 1 cup water for 5 - 10 min. A sweeter tea can be made by infusing the fresh or dried flowers. Or for children and the elderly use milk instead of water. Sweeten with honey, if desired. Honey can be an anti biotic depending on the plants the bees use. (Manak is a strong anti biotic honey.) (Andrographis plant is another natural antibiotic (kills parasites) too.)

Roots can be boiled, leaves and flowers an infusion-decoctions teas are best.
Mullein oil: Use flowers or root. Place in blender or crush (herb pestle, if dried use coffee grinder), fill jar, then cover with olive oil, set in warm place for 2 weeks. Strain before use.

HomeMade Wild Yam Cream, estrogens

The towel doesn't have to be thick, just a barrier between the jar and the crockpot.  I have an older crock pot that is deeper that my larger one.  A quart jar will stand up with just enough room above it for the lid.

 Image result for wild yams creamAfter the 3 days, I strained it. Then I let it cool and didn't make the salve/cream until the next day because I didn't have time.  For the cream, I used approximately 1 TBS of wax to slightly less that 1/2 cup of oil.  It was much too solid.  I tend to not measure very accurately, I just sort of mix things up.  I'm trying to be more consistent.  I have a recipe for a cold cream that I use often which has a nice consistency.  Here is what I am going to do with the next batch:

1/4 cup distilled water
1/8 teaspoon borax powder
1/2 cup olive oil (I will use the Wild Yam/oil mixture)
2 TBS beeswax.

Dissolve the borax in the water in a glass measuring cup.  Mix the oil and beeswax in another glass measuring cup and place in a pan of water.  Heat it until the beeswax is melted, stirring occasionally.  Then put the borax/water in the microwave for about 1 minute.  Remove the oil/wax from the stove and slowly add the water mixture to it.  Stir briskly, or whip in a blender.  The blender makes a nicer consistency, but it messier.

I'm not sure about the conversions from canner to crock pot.  I'm not sure I would use this for actual food recipes.  Rebekah had stated that you can do the wild yam in the pressure canner for 30 minutes on 10 pounds of pressure.  I decided to try the 3 days with the crock pot because my canner is too big to haul out for just one jar.  Hopefully someone will have other info to offer.

How to make wild yam cream at home? Recipes and Tips
Purple Sweet Potatohttp://b4tea.blogspot.com/2014/01/how-to-make-wild-yam-cream-at-home.html
You can prepare your own wild yam cream with just few ingredients. Check out some simple recipes here to make wild yam cream at home. Yams aren’t just delicious, they are healthy too. Not many people know that this delicious root vegetable is being used for ages for treatment of various ailments. Yam cream, often referred to as wild yam cream, is considered as the best natural remedy for premenstrual, menstrual, and menopausal symptoms in women. Not just women, this cream is equally beneficial for men; it is being marketed today as an alternative medicine cream to treat erectile dysfunction and to increase male libido
Nowadays, wild yam creams are readily available in most health food and drug stores.
However, the problem is that some of these creams contain synthetic progesterone in them. Absorbing such man-made progesterone in high concentrations could result in some side effects, like constipation, fatigue and irritability and in rare cases, fainting, blurred vision, difficulty in breathing, and swelling of the throat. That’s why, it is highly recommended to go for home-made wild yam cream. Yes, you can prepare your own wild yam cream at home that too with just few ingredients. Two simple recipes of home-made wild yam cream are given below. Follow one of them and make a rich & beneficial wild yam cream naturally at home.

Recipe 1:
Ingredients:
  • 3 cups of chopped fresh wild yam root
  • 1 gallon of distilled water
  • 3 tbsp of stearic acid
  • Half cup of emollient beeswax beads
  • A nonstick 4-quart Stock Pot
  • 1 large glass bowl
(Note: Choose your ingredients carefully and make sure to buy items like beeswax and stearic acid from a trusted supply merchant)

Preparation:
Add distilled water and the diced yam root into the stock pot and boil them for about forty minutes. Now, with the help of a wooden or plastic spoon, stir and smash the yam cubes. But do not smash them completely. Leave most of the cubes in a solid state so as to avoid soaking up all of the water. The simmering water will gradually break down the wild yam cubes, and then a thin, foamy layer of “fat” will begin to form at the top of the boiling mixture. Next, skim off the layer of fat from the surface using a spoon, and then drop the foamy substance into the big glass bowl. Reserve about half cup of yam water and dispose off the leftover stuff from the pot. The wild yam fat in the bowl would start shrinking as it cools down. This means, what appears to be a lot actually isn’t, and so take as much of the fat from the surface of the water as you can.

Next, add half cup of beeswax beads to the bowl of hot yam fat, and stir them as the beads starts to melt. If necessary, microwave the mixture on high temperature for about twenty seconds to help the beads melt faster. Once the beads melt completely, introduce the stearic acid powder to the bowl of yam fat and stir the mixture vigorously either for at least three minutes or until a thick foam forms. After that, gradually add small amounts of the reserved yam water until you get the desired thickness.

Use: Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and let the cream cool, until it reaches room temperature. Now, gently massage the orange-colored cream into the soft, sensitive parts of your skin. By following the above mentioned recipe, you’ll get enough wild yam cream to last approximately 6 months, if you use the cream once every 14 days. You can also add about 3 tsp of vitamin E oil to this cream to keep it preserved. Just spoon it out into airtight jars. The cream will probably last a year, if stored in a cool, dark place.
Hormones: Progesterone

Recipe 2:
Ingredients:
  • Wild yam root
  • Oil or lard or any other fat medium
  • 1 quart jar
Preparation:
Soak some yam roots in water. Make sure the roots must soak up all the water with none left standing. Put them in a quart jar until the jar is half full with roots. And then cover it with oil or lard or whatever fat you prefer. Afterwards, pressure cook the stuff at 10 pounds for about thirty minutes. Simply cool and strain off the fat. Now, you can use this fat to make cream with any of the cream recipe.

Garden Weed: Purslane Kills Cancer.

Let me mention not on my subject: I've taken out most posts. The reason is blogging takes a lot of time and bloggers like me, don't get paid. In a week I may get seven cents. Why should I assist Google pimping myself out with my work to be recopied by their professionals web sites? I'll leave posts in for only a season but, if it's real popular I keep the post in; if not I put them on draft for a book or another way of publishing them later. Thank you for coming.

Eat the weeds! I use to pick this weed from my garden. I venture its in your yard too. Then clean it and put it in salads.
Why do I do so many cancer herbs? I don't have cancer however, as an herbalist and know the same herbals that will clean the liver/blood will clear out toxins that rot tissues and they are the advertised cancer herbs.
Purslane Extract Kills 83% of Liver Cancer Cells in Vitro: An extract of Purslane seeds was shown in this new study to kill up to 83% of human liver cancer cells in vitro within 24 hours. Purslane extracts have already been shown to be toxic to breast cancer, lung cancer, cervical cancer, and sarcoma in other studies.
http://eatlocalgrown.com/article/13270-just-a-weed-or-an-unrecognized-health-boosting-plant.html
What makes this leafy green so powerful? Besides containing the anticancer flavonoids kaempferol, apigenin, luteolin, and quercetin, this super vegetable also delivers 17 vitamins and minerals, omega-3 fatty acids, powerful antioxidants, and four flavonoids unique to purslane (portulacanones). And purslane’s health benefits don’t stop there. It’s already been shown in clinical trials to help adults with type 2 diabetes by significantly lowering their blood sugar, cholesterol, triglycerides—and even helped them lose weight! (after just five weeks of eating Purslane seeds.) Purslane also has demonstrated powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties, and has been shown to boost immunity by increasing the number of white blood cells (in mice).
All of this for just 13 calories per 80 gram serving! And alkaline diet fans take note, this low-calorie leafy green delivers four times the alkalizing power of pure lemon juice! pH are connected to most green organic grown vegetables.
 Purslane is delicious in salads, soup, curry, stir fried with other greens, or blended in your favorite vegetable smoothie.

MEDICAL, INVIRONMENTAL, RADIATIONAL MUSHROOMS

Its best to know what you need to fix: body, mind, environment (water, clean ups) , radiation, oil spills, disease's, or food and nutrition. Where is it growing will give you a clue to its value for your use. This is a topic for deep study to get the cures.
This is the best program with help to the environment, radiation and the medical mushrooms I've ever heard. Paul Stamets is on the ball and knows his subject as he talked about his discovery on how to use mushrooms to decompose toxic wastes and pollutants, catch and reduce silt from streambeds and pathogens from agricultural watersheds, as well as control insect populations, and generally enhance the health of our forests, gardens and bodies.

                                    Many vegetable, fruit are the blossoms or seed we already eat.
    "The culinary use of Edible flowers dates back many years with the first recorded mention is thousands of years old. Many different cultures use flowers in their traditional foods. The Romans used mallow, rose and violets. Italian and Hispanic cultures gave us stuffed squash blossoms, and Asian Indians use rose petals in many recipes. Did you know Chartreuse, a classic green liqueur developed in France in the seventeenth century, boasts carnation petals as one of its secret ingredients? The Victorians started the craze in the UK by adding garish flowers to their main courses to get one up on their guests, there is no doubt that the poor must have eaten them as a food-stuff way before the Victorians existed although this would be difficult to prove.

     Some of the other benefits of eating Wild and Garden Flowers are that they are rich in nectar and pollen and studies have shown pollen to be nutritious with vitamins and minerals. Roses and especially rose hips, are very high in vitamin C. Dandelion blossoms are high in vitamins A and C while the leaves are loaded with iron, calcium, phosphorous and vitamin A and C. Marigolds and Nasturtium are also a good source of vitamin C.  Don't forget many vegetable blossoms are also great eating and have recipes. The suggestion here is to make sure they come from a organic source and of course never sprayed. Even the ground they grow on is important for higher nutrient values.

    Picking them; be careful when collecting flowers, make sure that you pick the flowers early in the day and handle the flowers gently so as not to damage them. Shake gently to remove insects.


    Never pick where they have been sprayed even near garden lawns spays or along roads. Wash them gently when you get home if you must, and pat them dry. You can store them for a few hours in the fridge if you put them in an airtight bag.

    There are many flowers and blossoms that can be enjoyed both fresh and cooked. It's hard to buy edible flowers, but quite easy to grow most of them in your garden including the Wild varieties which can now readily be found and bought online. Since flowers are best when eaten soon after harvest, growing your own edible flowers makes even more sense as it takes less time to get them form plant to plate.
    Repeat:
    However, you need to really use caution when choosing edible flowers. Only eat flowers when you are absolutely certain they are edible. Never eat a flower that has been treated with a pesticide that was not labeled for use on food products. If you are choosing from your own garden flowers to eat, be certain you know your flowers as not all flowers are edible. Some can cause serious stomach problems and some are quite poisonous.

    Finally, some Edible Wild Flowers are becoming rare, so sometimes more urban foraging techniques such as plundering your own gardens flowers is the way forward be aware of the rare and the quite common. You may have a lot of edible flowers growing in your garden all ready and you don't even know it so why don’t you read on. Remember, only eat flowers that you are 100% sure that you have positively identified as safe to eat!

    So here it is, a long list, probably not a definitive list but a good starting point of Wild plants and Garden plants that are edible and what they look, smell and taste like! Enjoy!

    The Ultimate Guide to Edible Wild and Garden Flowers (UK book) Their are many books besides this one on the market. Choose the on that suits your style.

    Allium family: All members of the Allium family are edible. The tastes range from mild onion and leek to strong onions and garlic. The flowers tend to have a stronger flavor than the leaves and the young-developing seed heads are even stronger. You can eat the leaves and flowers in a salad and the leaves can also be cooked in a soup for flavorings. The flowers are delicious on chives in particular! (Heirloom seeds no GMO SEEDS)

    Angelica: Depending on the variety, flower range from pale lavender-blue to deep rose. It has a flavor similar to licorice. Angelica is valued culinary from the seeds and stems, which are candied and used in liqueurs, to the young leaves and shoots, which can be added to a green salad. Because of its celery-like flavor, Angelica has a natural affinity with fish. FOR MORE WONDERFUL PHOTOS AND IDEAS TO WHAT WE CAN EAT CHECK OUT THE REST OF THIS SITE AND PG: I WILL "PIN" THESE TOO.

    HOW, WHAT YOU GOOD AND EAT?



    Buy the best when you are sick and demand the best from growers. Grow your own organic gardens and save the fertile seeds, which is what seed producers do not want you or farmers to do. There is a shortage of organically grown food in our world right now. The public is beginning to wake up, because the food is not nutritionally good enough to keep anyone well, and are moving toward "green" life foods and earth.
    Rom. 14: 2
    2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
    Maybe you should not pass this page around so there will be more foods to kill off your own disease. It's actually occurred to me, however then there's no change at all to foods being produced.


     SEED: HISTORY OF PLANTS BEGINNINGS
    Abr. 4: 11-12, 29-30
    11 And the Gods said: Let us prepare the earth to bring forth
    grass; the herb yielding seed; the fruit tree yielding fruit, after his kind, whose seed in itself yieldeth its own likeness upon the earth; and it was so, even as they ordered. (Man is disobedient to 'the laws of nature' and are polluting the originally life form or designs of plants and animals.) Its original seed progenitor its life forms of the that was extending to their healing properties. These fungal properties is the protectorate for the plants existent, of pollutants, and its enemy's. Using this same properties are passed onto and become its MISSION, (as design in the beginning) to bless the sick with healing. )
    This History shows that God created the plants (life) before they were here, just as man, to bless man. It shows that plants are a life for too and have their own purpose, which is to bless man. Many have reported in their life/death experience explaining the saw plants vibrating energies and singing praises to God.


    “And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew. For I, the Lord God, created all things, of which I have spoken, spiritually, before they were naturally upon the face of the earth” (
    Moses 3:4–5). (this teaches pre-destinations of life forms)

     5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew. For I, the Lord God,
    created all things, of which I have spoken, spiritually, before they were naturally upon the face of the earth.
    *Allergies are caused because of parasites, altered, adulterated, non-whole foods.



    *SEED THAT WILL NOT KILL PARASITES are the GMO's : Institute for Responsible Technology November 13, 2008
    *Remember to use common sense, is "sweet" does not kill parasites. (Honey an exception, but not a plant.) Yet, the opposite, all bitters, (herbs or plants, and its seeds), is natures cue that they will take care of parasites. The plants have build into natures design that arm them with protection-defences against their enemies and that in-turn is passed on, if not modified, to human's. It's their mission, if you will, or design to bless man in this manner. One of the laws or design of nature. Plants will always give you cues.


    Example: Many Fruits and Nuts are their own seeds. If infertile their useless for medically use. Black Walnut is also a seed. I planted a tree with a nut that fell from the tree. Hybrids will not produce fruit that multiplies or produces itself again.
    (Organic Black Walnut Hull is great for Lupus if used correctly and not from a hybrid tree. (Read Gen. 1:29 use only seed bearing plants.) If not, it's a GMO food which is in it own famine of nutritional value. What is it going to pass on to you?
