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)
Helps maintain healthy weight (contains saponins, which may help to bind fats and remove them from the body)
Nourishing for the lungs
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
The flowers can be white or yellow

Enjoy your Best Health EVER!
