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
