is that arugula? what is the differnce?

[EatTheWeeds]

@DanielManahan No, it is wild mustard. Arugula is a distant relative, but is smaller, a different shade of green, different leaf shape, is more bitter and peppery.

I'm so glad I found this video. Last year when my mustard greens came up in my garden, I noticed there were lots of plants growing on the side of the roads that had flowers that looked the same. When I asked my Sister in Law a 4th generation local if they were eatable she said "no sister! those are wild mustard, that's poisonous." I'm going to find a picture to take with me so I can positively identify them and if they are indeed wild mustard, I will have a freezer full. Any look a likes?

This was my first time viewing you (because I bought mustard greens) and instant subscription, the cats were simply the olive oil on the tasty pile of greens (versus "whipped cream" on the "cake") that is your style.

I prefer my greens either boiled with a baked potato with a sliver of butter or steamed with a small amount of concentrated beet juice and a dash of lemon to lighten the flavors. Careful, the flavors might be a little too much for some people (my folks).

I like the cats meow at the end.  Great video!

Found a stand of this today and the proliferation of the seedpods was incredible....thousands. I plan to go back and gather seed pods for sprouting this winter

There are a lot of videos on wild edible plants on YouTube, but I only trust your videos because YOU EAT THE PLANTS.

Today I went out and found myself a wild mustard plant. Boiled it up just like in your video, but cooked it less because I like that mustardy bite. Very nice!
