  • This video came up in my "suggested videos" so thought I'd take a look. I didn't know you could eat this. We have had that come up as a "weed" for some time. Think I'll give it a shot this year.

  • @GettingThereGreen Oh, please do try it. I think you will like it. And, if you do you can enjoy it free, with no work other than picking it, for the rest of your life.

  • Oh I really think this is what I have here!!! could you eat the young leaves without cooking them?

  • @jihadacadien I have heard that people do put them into salad. But, mine always gets eaten like spinach because I like it so much. Never any left for the salad.

  • @SSanf I guess I'll get to try them out soon ;)

  • @jihadacadien Here is a lady who likes them raw in salad watch?v=8SLQorvzSSI

  • One cup of raw lamb's quarter leaves contains: ~ 80 mg of Vitamin C ~ 11,600 IU of Vitamin A ~ 72 mg of Phosphorus ~ 309 mg of Calcium as well as good amounts of ~ Thiamin ~ Riboflavin ~ Niacin ~ Iron I'm dog sitting a bug eye'd dog with stinky ears and on the walk just offered some lamb's quarter to two horses -they took it in their lips and spit it out hahaha! My chickens love it.
