Jungle DressThe Suriname cherry (aka Brazilian cherry) is considered invasive to Florida and people generally consider that to be a bad thing, but we’ve been experiencing drought since 2023 and I think we should reevaluate our feelings towards plants that produce food without human intervention or even rain. We should consider the Suriname cherry a miracle food. They are rich in Vitamin A & C, potassium and antioxidants. All this from sandy, nutrient-poor soil and little hydration. The ones in this photo are from the hedge between mine and my neighbor’s yard. You’ll see this plant randomly in neighborhoods, along the sidewalk. Pigeon peas, mangos, chaya and papayas are other edible plants that require little to no care, are drought tolerant, and give us nutrient-rich food. We struggle to grow “conventional” foods in our gardens, yet nature provides with ease. Lean into it. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Florida?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Florida</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/InvasivePlants?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InvasivePlants</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Gardening?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gardening</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/TropicalPlants?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TropicalPlants</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Nature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MotherNature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MotherNature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/FreeFood?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeFood</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/EdiblePlants?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EdiblePlants</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/WildFood?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WildFood</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/foraging?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#foraging</a>

Adriano BonoL'altro giorno stavo lì che mi protendevo verso terra per raccogliere dei boccioli commestibili da fare al wok, quando a un certo punto sono stato investito da un zaffata di un odore meraviglioso che mi ha sbloccato un mezzo ricordo, come un lampo. Solo che non riuscivo a sbloccare l'altra metà del ricordo e quindi sono andato avanti. Poi però dopo pochi metri son tornato indietro perché volevo assolutamente venirne a capo. Quel profumo che 1/2<a href="https://livellosegreto.it/tags/foraging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#foraging</a> <a href="https://livellosegreto.it/tags/alimurgia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alimurgia</a> <a href="https://livellosegreto.it/tags/truestory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#truestory</a>

Adriano Bono...dal sapore delicato e ricco di umami, ottime da ripassare al volo dentro il wok. Delle piante ormai fiorite si possono sempre mangiare i fiori, che spesso sono buonissimi e nutrienti, per esempio quelli del Raphanus Raphanistrum che ieri ho messo nell'insalata. Insomma, se magnamo tutto 🙌😅<a href="https://livellosegreto.it/tags/foraging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#foraging</a> <a href="https://livellosegreto.it/tags/alimurgia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alimurgia</a>

Adriano BonoOrmai sono poche le piante da foraging che ancora non sono fiorite, dando fine alla fase vegetativa e inizio a quella riproduttiva, concentrando tutte le energie e le risorse in questa funzione, con la conseguenza che le foglie diventano più dure, più secche meno buone e meno nutrienti. Tra le poche piante non ancora fiorite, e quindi ancora con le foglie buone da mangiare c'è questa, l'Hypochaeris radicata, nome comune Costolina Giuncolina, ancora molto buona, carnosa e...<a href="https://livellosegreto.it/tags/foraging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#foraging</a> <a href="https://livellosegreto.it/tags/alimurgia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alimurgia</a>

Adriano BonoOggi una corsetta tanto per gradire ma soprattutto per avere l'occasione di raccogliere un po' di roba per la cena.

DoomsdaysCWA British feast from garden weedsJessica Vincent, 8 May 2020Excerpts: "It was an unusually hot April morning in Colchester, England, and the fields, now in full bloom, were bursting in brilliant yellows, whites and purples. Armed with a wicker basket and David Squire’s book Foraging for Wild Foods, I scanned the Essex countryside for the ingredients to my first-ever foraging taster menu: stinging <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nettle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nettle</a> soup; gnocchi with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dandelion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dandelion</a> leaf pesto; <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WildGarlic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WildGarlic</a> and stinging nettle ravioli; and, for dessert, dandelion flower cookies.[...] "The earliest memory I have of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/foraging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#foraging</a> is picking wild <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/blackberries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blackberries</a> with my grandmother. Our quest for England’s sweetest wild fruit led us to our local park in Banstead, Surrey, a small patch of green which, between August and October, would burst with swollen blackberries. Under strict instructions, I’d carefully manoeuvre my way around the thick, sharp brambles, my eyes scanning for the darkest and shiniest berries of them all. My grandmother had learned from her mother – who, as a young evacuee during World War Two, would forage wild fruits and plants as a supplement to the meagre food rations – that the plumper, darker berries were the sweetest. Those juicy crimson-purple morsels would often be turned into blackberry crumble, the perfect sweet finish to a Sunday roast dinner."<a href="https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20200507-foods-you-can-forage-from-your-own-garden" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20200507-foods-you-can-forage-from-your-own-garden</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Foraging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Foraging</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gardens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gardens</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a>

YvanThat's yesterday's wild garlic harvest processed... soaked for a bit, rinsed twice, lightly spun, chopped roughly, and spun harder... after that we got 352 grammes of slightly damp leaf, plus a few flower buds. We split the leaf 50/50 and did one 176g of leaves with 250g of salted butter, and the other 176g of leaf with 200g of local extra-virgin-rapeseed-oil. Now in an ice-cube tray to freeze.Mostly we like to use this in a simple pasta, just melt one or two "cubes" into the pasta and add a bit of black pepper and some fresh parsley or basil. But a buttery one is also excellent melted on top of a grilled steak.The wild garlic flower buds have been put into a small bottle of white wine vinegar.<a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/WildGarlic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WildGarlic</a> <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/Ramsoms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ramsoms</a> <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/Food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Food</a> <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/Cooking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cooking</a> <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/Foraging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Foraging</a>

YvanThe ~hour commute is a bit of a drag, make for a long old day... but it is cool that quite close to the work end and not much of a detour away is our old <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/WildGarlic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WildGarlic</a> stomping ground. It's a bit of a walk from the road but in 35 mins from car parked to back on the road I was able to gather a nice bunch of leaves.Most of the ground level greenery in these photos is wild garlic!It's a bit young still, but still a good harvest to be had.At home now and I've made a nice batch of wild garlic, EVOO, and cashew "pesto", with a touch of salt and lemon juice.
