MOTHER EARTH NEWS 8 fRgitlRrtd lr»<5#m»r> ot THE MOTHER EARTH NEWS. Inc ■ FREE VITAMIN-RICH VEGETABLES! There’s a world of tasty, free-for-the-picking leaf vegetables to be found in fields, in vacant lots, along streams ... and even shooting up among your own garden crops! One of the most common edible wild greens is lamb's-quarters (Chenopodium album). This < nutritious relative of spinach (also known as goosefoot and pigweed) has jagged, diamondshaped leaves with powdery-feeling, whitedusted undersides. Remember, though, that you shouldinever eat any wild food until you have positively identified it as edible. (NOTE: Three guidebooks to wild plants are listed at the end of this article.) Harvest your "wild spinach" from plants no more than a foot high, or pick the youngest (uppermost) blades from more mature specimens. The delicately flavored leaves can be steamed, or used in most any recipe calling for spinach. Another "weed” that's earned a lot of names (including careless weed, redrdot. and. also, pigweed) is amaranth iAmaranthus retroflexus and hybridus). This ejtremely common plant has rough, oval-but-pointed leaves that are borne on long stairs, and a crimson-colored root. An excellent hunting ground for amaranth is the space between rows of cultivated crops. The young leaves are favored as salad makings, but the fronds taste even better when fried, steamed, creamed, or boiled and served with a .homemade cheese sauce. A favorite wild foot! among foragers is purslane {Portulaca oleracea). better known as "pussley". The paddle-shaped leaves shoot out from a plant that rarely grows over twd inches tall but spreads horizontally, on fleshy, reddish-purple, stems, with a ven geance The greens taste good served raw in salads or sandwiches, cooked in meat loaf, fried in an egg batter, pickled, or added as a thickener to soups and gumbos. The most remarkable feature of winter cress is its availability during cold weather. Barbarea vulgaris is also called scurvy grass, upland cress, and spring tonic. This fast-growing plant can reach a height of over two feet. The youngest leaves make a crisp and tangy raw salad green, while the more mature blades serve well as boiled or steamed vegetables. In addition, in late spring you can pick some of the unopened winter cress flower buds, boil them for five minutes, and serve up some delicious "wild broccoli"! • . There are a zillion other flavorful wild greens: dandelion, curled dock, milkweed, plantain, fireweed. watercress, wild grapes, shepherd's purse, wood sorrel, chickweed. stork's-bill. burdock, chicory .. . and on and on. So gather ... and enjoy! NOTE Lee Peterson's A Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants (Houghton Mifflin, 110.95), Euell Gibbons' Stalking the Wild Asparagus (David Mr Kay. $5.96), and Billy Joe Tatum s Wild Foods Cookbook & Field Guide (Workman, $5.95) are three good references for foraging.
