Thank you for posting this video. I used to rip this weed out of my vegetable garden, until I found out that they were edible. Now I let them grow in a designated area in the garden! Thanks to you, now I'll know how to properly prepare them.

@MilleniumPhoenix91 My pleasure. Knowing what's around you is what it is all about.

It looks a bit like Capsella bursa-pastoris .Is this plant edible?

[EatTheWeeds]

@ereticu0 Yes, they are closely related.

@vera747 If you live in France I would google Francois Couplan PhD. He is your local expert.

We have some variety of this in Arizona, its smaller though. I'm going to harvest some next spring and see if I can pin down the exact type. My dad told me when I was very young that it was called peppergrass, and I was thinking the pepper flakes you shake on pizza, because the leaves of the peppergrass look like capsicum seeds, lol.
