Here is a fun video I recorded of my chickweed foraging adventure:) I also included a yummy raw recipe for you. The awesome thing about chickweed is it can survive cold weather, making it an excellent herb to consume in the winter!

Benefits of Chickweed:

• Like most wild food it is super high in vitamins and minerals (Iron, Copper, Manganese, Magnesium, Zinc, Potassium, Vitamin C and A). It is higher in iron and zinc than any domesticated green. Zinc and Iron are especially important for those who choose to be vegetarian
• Helps maintain healthy weight (contains saponins, which may help to bind fats and remove them from the body)
• Nourishing for the lungs
• Helps carry off cellular debris through our lymph system and it also helps clean out and clean up cysts
• Great for drawing out infections and soothing pain (excellent herb to add in your homemade salves and oil infusions)
• Great remedy for eye problems (sties, conjunctivitis, pink eye, etc.)

Here is a picture of a chickweed flower. Notice how it has only five petals yet looks as if it has ten

One of my passions in life is being in nature and foraging for wild food. I love how much I have learned from my foraging adventures. Nature can teach us so much about life, flow, and abundance. I often times find an abundance of FREE food all around me, such as these tasty persimmons…

Just like in the video above, there truly is a plethora of abundance and happy surprises all around us. First it takes knowing what you desire, and then it takes believing you can have it. Those persimmon trees were there for years before I “discovered” them. I didn’t “find” them until after I became excited about foraging my food! And just like the wild reishi “magically” showing up (for those of you who are unfamiliar with reishi, it is a Chinese medicinal mushroom tonic with very nourishing, strengthening and healing properties… It was consumed by emperors and noblemen for centuries), when we have fun and go for what we want, good things will follow:)

We recently discovered several mulberry trees near our apartment complex. A delicious bliss inducing gift from nature even in the midst of the city. Thank you Mother Earth!

“Wild food connects you immediately to the land. Eating wild food growing in your area acclimates you to the environment . . . Wild fruits are the sustenance of the immortals. Fruit has tremendous spiritual power. The more natural (non-hybridized) the fruit is, the greater its spiritual value”
