5 Weeds in Every Garden That are Actually Edible & Delicious!
In every garden there are weeds. A wed is seen as an uwanted plant,
however maybe they should just be moved since they SHOULD be wanted!
They are heat tolerant, drought tolerant, free, perennial, and super
nutrient dense. You don’t even have to forage for these!

Hey Luke, just so you know that second plant is not Vietnamese coriander however it does look alike 99.99% the key identification of the plant is the leaves and the smell. Vietnamese herb smells really good while the look-alike have no smell at all Vietnamese herbs leave is slimmer while the look alike is a bit more round I’ve been growing this plant and I do have the look alike also and I’ve been wondering if I could actually eat that as well.
It is sad and irony that most American households believe they are weeds and pour gallons of toxic chemicals to their yard to kill these beneficial plants every year. Dandelions feed a lot of important pollinator insects like honey bees and butterflies, not to mention they are super food to human.
Thank you!
You can also make a type of coffee from the root of the dandelions
Wild lettuce is another one that can be found in gardens,also poke weed,though with poke weed it has to be picked while it’s young and cooked a certain way otherwise it’s toxic.
– DANGER – poisonous lookalike! spurge is a poisonous plant that is similar in appearance to purslane. spurge is distinguished by a milky sap, which can be seen if you squeeze the stem.
Also clover is a great one, you can identify it by chevrons on the leaves, the flowers are edible as well (But donβt eat to many as they can cause bloat).
I love to use the lambs quarter in my scrambled eggs!
I really highly recommend to put the name of the weeds on the screen π
I eat a lot of dandalions π
I love vietnamese coriander
I found this to be βanother exciting episode.β Also, I let purslane provide ground cover, discouraging other, less tasty weeds.
Great info! Thanks.
VIetnamese coriander is great in soup!
By the way, sometimes you find edible plants among the weeds.
Denote your continent!
I like because weed are for eat.
Cottagecore lesbians have entered the chat
Oh my goodness. I have all these weeds in my garden. I could have been eating them.
Thanks for getting out there but Really difficult to see what he’s handling with gloves on, I won’t be able to identify just from this video.
Spurge can look just like purslane or portulaca and Lady’s thumb can look just like the Vietnamese coriander
Wild plants have been demonized for decades yet most of them that are edible are not only a free source of food, but food that has more nutrition than anything in a grocery store!
Thank you for this informative video. These gems are all over my yard. It’s a love hate relationship in some cases lol.
Use the dandelion roots in coffee, chop em up, roast them, then brew them in a hot cup of water
Nice, right now I have lots of Purslane in my garden. Thanks and take care.
About Vietnamese coriander this could be a lookalike, Vietnamese coriander must have distinct smell
There is a look a like to purslane which is poisonous. It leaks a white sap….
I don’t pull weeds anymore I find that they help me keep moisture in the soil.
Make another video like this
Hi Luke, Iβm Vietnamese and I believe the plant that you identified as βVietnamese Corianderβ is incorrect. It doesnβt have the same smell, itβs not bitter and it should not have the red center. If you want to compare it to the real βVietnamese Corianderβ, please go to a Vietnamese or Chinese supermarket and check in the vegetable aisles.
The camerashouldfocuse closer to the plants not your hand.
I didn’t know two of them only rest I eat
Wood sorrel is another great one, they look like a miniature clover without the chevrons, they have a lemony taste.
Yay We eat 3 of those 5…now I know amaranth! thanks….
You might want to also explain the poisonous look-a-like of purslane
Another good weed/plant is Spanish needle (bidens pelosa)(bidens Alba).
Good for fighting resperatory illnesses,a natural antibiotic.
I eat my weeds

Go go ml gardener!! Youre the best!!
some other ones you smoke them but lets dont talk about that…
is the vietnamese coriander = lady thumb weed,
Dandeline is what i have to look for in india!
Edible weeds are SO important during COVID. People need to stop killing off the native plants. I feed the weeds from my garden to our chickens , they are packed full of nutrients & much more fun for my chickens to eat than grain alone. Their favorite is green clover !
My fav backyard weeds are hairy bittercress and wood sorrow π
Dude if you want to be more believable then EAT IT TO PROVE IT!
Was expecting to see marijuana plants π
Pennywort and clovers are also edible, but their harder to differentiate
vietnamese coriander is amazingly delicious. it has a lemon/citrus type flavor and great in salads.
This is a great video. I really wish you would revisit this topic and add to or embellish it. I love growing Lamb’s Quarters, White Clover, Dandelions and Purslane.
I have none of these except dandelion. In fact I planted purslanne and couldn’t get it to grow in SC. Ofcourse I have a million other weeds and I routinely eat myself out of the 1/2 to 3/4 acre to the point where I have to add store bought greens to it, ofcourse I also have 3-4 boxes of boiled out greens at any time sitting in the fridge for various uses. But I need to get all these growing, purslanne especially.
