Our Wonderful Edible World

Broad Leaf Plantain

9/20/2021

Most of us in this area have seen this plant in our yards, and sprayed or yanked it out, thinking of it as an annoyance.  Did you know they actually sell supplements of this nutritious plant?

What an amazing edible weed.  The leaves are best in spring when they are soft, but edible all year round.  I may have to try some in our juicer (I will let you know). 

The seeds, though, are what interests me right now.  These can be ground into a flour and used to make bread, muffins, or griddle cakes.  Check out my backyard find in the image below!

So stop spraying this amazing plant, and start harvesting!
