Clovers!!
Red clover
This feature is to show different weeds weekly. Yes, the things that are picked and thrown out. They can be found in your garden and around your house, they can be eaten. This feature will also tell you what ways you can cook and prep them, just so you can eat healthy even when you can’t afford to. The edible weeds I post include all the nutrients, vitamins and minerals your body needs.
The red clovers' most obvious feature is their purple-red flower and the white v-shaped stripe on their leaves. The flower of the plant does in fact have a round head. They grow in thickets, roadsides and other random locations. I know this because I see them all the time in fields, in random patches on the side of my apartment. Clovers are healthy to eat(generally)in many forms such as: in a salad, cooked like greens, ground into flour, or blended with another tea. Clovers are high in protein and the most common parts of them that are consumed are their flower heads and their leaves. However they are easier to eat if you let them soak in water for half an hour or boil them. So next time you see a patch of clovers, show your diligence and pick as many as you possibly can.
P.S. Be cautious there are some clovers that just taste like leaves and others that when you bite them they give off a burst of citrus. But don’t be afraid to try them they are not poisonous.
This is a very cool part of the blog. We tend to think eating healthy is expensive, but it doesn't have to be! Are there any plants that look like clover that could be dangerous for us to eat?
