The first weed is called calalloo in Jamaica. It more like spinach, delicious with cod fish or sautĆ©ed with peppers and onionsā¤ļø

I love the diversity of the people in the comments section here. There is input from Asia, Australia, Cambodia, India, Iraq, Jamaica, Latvia, Mexico, Suriname, Trinidad, Tobago, and Turkey. And I haven't read a tenth of the comments. I really like hearing directly from people of other countries and how they do things as compared to the USA.

My people (Cambodians) have eaten amaranth and purslane for centuries. Delicious vegetables. Very nutritious. š
-
I have been eating Pursaline for over sixty five years. Thanks to my Father..RIP.

Hi I'm from Trinidad and just to let you know the first plant you pulled out we call it spinach in my country. And we cultivate it grow it and sell it as a spinach vegetable. So what y different countries know as wild is not. I am so glad to see your channel. It's educational. Thanks.
-
It's funny seeing you call purslane and amaranth weeds. I have both of those plants but growing in beds and pots. I eat them weekly. š„° You're blessed to have them growing as a weed.

Purslane. My grandma cooks it with pork, cilantro, tomatillos, jalapeƱo, Mexican oregano, onion & garlic. I forget what she calls it, but I've eaten it that way, since I was a kid.
-
All the weeds you share in this video are widely used in Asia as green vegetables, and we eat them daily. We boil them and dip in the fish sauce or make the vegetable soup.
-
We all cooked and eat that stuff you showed in the video!! Iām Turkish,Some we make salad some we cook ā¦.I love green stuff very healthy
-
I wish there were more Australians doing these shows. Itās necessary to learn about your local āweedsā ā¤

Purslane is very common in Iraq, we buy it ā¦ yes sadly we canāt find it growing wildly. Itās either cooked as a stew with meat and served with rice or is washed and chopped then blanched then add chopped onions, cucumbers and some garlic to plain yogurt and season with salt, it is the most refreshing summer salad, make it when you are having a barbecue š it is yummy š¤¤.

The first weed that you plucked is a vegetable we call calaloo here in Jamaica very delicious
-
Thank you for your knowledge and recommended books. My mother tried introducing these āweedsā to us when we were little. She was a Latvian farm girl before the war drove her from her home. She brought her wise gardening techniques with her and passed some wisdom on to usā¦.watching your channel just reinforces what she was all about!
-
YouĀ“re awesome! I love your connection to nature, animals, plants, bees. You have great respect for all life. Thank you.
-
I have a lot of clover āļø in my yard right now! We had some landscaping done and somehow my entire front yard is clover. I never knew you could eat clovers. Thank you for sharing this!
-
THE AZTEC WOYERS CARRIED AMARANTH SEEDS IN A POUCH WHEN THEY WENT TO WAR,THIS SEED KEEP THEM STRONG AND GOING FOR DAYS.
-
I used to eat clover leaves often when I was a kid, because I loved the flavor! To me, they tasted just a little bit lemony kinda, just a really nice mild tangy flavor. Good to know they were safe to eat, lol!

Purslane is also known here in South Texas as Portulaca. Grows wild in the cracks of sidewalks, is sold in hanging baskets, etc. There are organic seed packets online for cheap, too. Flowers are edible, as well. Since it's a succulent, make sure it's in clean soils. It's kinda like a tastier version of nopalitos (cactus) & off the charts in Omegas.
