About this deal

Made of stainless steel with a waxed beechwood handle, it has sharpened tines which cut through hard and soft soil very easily. Purslane adds a lemony/salty bite to any recipe, and has been proven to contain large amounts of potassium, magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids that can aid the cardiovascular system. All of the wood sorrel plant is edible, and if you do mix it up with clover, don’t worry, your bite will taste more like vanilla than citrus, but both are edible. Although there are dandelion look-alikes in sow thistle and cat’s ear, both lookalikes are also edible. Eat Weeds shows how you can engage with wild food sources, reconnect with the stories of our ancestors, and care for local ecologies while transforming your neighbourhood into an edible adventure.

The class runs between March and October, allowing you to follow the plants through the seasons and in various habitats.I am full of gratitude and I hope with this book to pay respect to the knowledge holders from all over the world who shared with me their know-how of edible and medicinal wild plants in Australia, native and not.
