- Curly Dock - an early wild edible to harvest. The root is a blood purifier and the seeds can be harvested for flour. This video will demonstrate how to harvest it and use some other wild edibles and culinary herbs to make a delicious meal.
I have been exploring the wild plants in our yard recently and one of them is curly dock. I look forward to trying them out as well. It is amazing how many things we consider weeds are eatable.
Yes, there are so many. We have a lot of purslane here too. That is prolific this time of year. God has provided many plants on the wild. Enjoy them! God bless.
I have a video on edible weeds in the garden if you want to watch that. I think in that one I meant mention purslane but others have probably done a video on it too.
I just remembered that boiling greens in small bits of water helps remove the oxalic acid if you drain off the water but you don't need tons of water... I make lots of stews and use greens but we don't drink all the soup part some but it helps to remove the acids...
Wild Edibles Yes, dropping leaves in boiling water first and draining liquid probably is best. Next time I may do that first before adding to other veggies . Especially if you eat on a reg basis. 👍
@@Gods_creation.His_harvest even just a tiny bit more water than u used and drain off...
I enjoy my mallows most in my garden
Thanks for the video I really enjoyed it... I have yellow docs in my yard but I have kidney issues so I don't eat them... But I did sell a lot of the roots in health food stores an ingredient in a remedy for cancers
Thanks much
@@wildedibles819 does yellow dock help or harm kidneys?
@@aliciamilam5636 leaves have oxalates in them and it can be harmful to your kidneys
The root....i don't think it has them or maybe in lower quality
Not sure about roots either but here’s some info.

Thank you so much for making this video and sharing with us. We are new to eating Curly Dock but it has grown in our back yard for years.
Your welcome! We live in zone 7. I have some growing in my garden! I cut it back in the fall. It has grown new fresh leaves through the winter and can even be harvested now in January, 🌱
Love this :)... My hubby mows around the weeds now lol or we pick grass and some weeds for the rabbits now instead of mowing makes great hay...
I absolutely love love love this!!!!! How good it is to show them the way!! 💛🌻
And there's nothing that beats that time together learning and growing
Yes, Glad you were blessed☺️🌸
God’s creation is the visible attribute to help us to know the Creator. He/Jesus is the way. God bless.
I used to like mowing other people's grass so I could collect the weeds b4 I mowed lol most non natives were here for long time for many purposes much love xoxox
This is so sweet! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I made a wild green curry tonight for my kiddos. We had muscadine greens, plantain greens, and wild violets. While I was looking I found lots of dock. I wasn't sure about it though, so I just looked for info after dinner instead of trying it. Dinner was great! It is one of the kid's favorites. Maybe we will try the dock soon.
Sounds yummy! God bless 😊
Loved your video. I just finally found some curly dock in a neighbors unkept yard and dug them up. I am hoping they will survive the move too MY yard. I found broad leaf plaintain in a park recently. Brought them home too. This is what more people need to learn in view of the uncertain times we are living in. I learned recently that you can eat passion fruit leaves too. If the store shelves go empty, I will not starve, as my yard is full of edible weeds.
That’s right! Knowing your edible weeds is a great thing to do!
Beautiful child! So good mom is teaching daughter foraging technic!
Thank you, yes I have tried to teach all my grandchildren the wild edible’s over there years. Hopefully some will remember and show an interest especially during these times. God has provided us with so much food in His creation.
God bless 🌸
Thank you for your time Sharing your ideas. 👍
pat lamputt your welcome😊
Another tip which I have done with wild edibles that have more oxalic acid is your can parboil them first then add to other veggies to help reduce the oxalic acids.
Great inspiration for all our weeds I want to pick.
Glad it was helpful, God bless 🌸
The ribs of the leaves would go well in a stir-fry! Saving the seeds from the ones ive let grow to do some purposeful planting next year.
I don’t usually deal with the seeds. We have so much that comes up voluntarily. But I know what you mean about wanting to grow it in specific places to guard it from being mowed over or damaged. I had some volunteer in my garden beds so I let them go for a few years but eventually had to dig up roots as they were taking over. But roots are good to harvest too.
Thanks! That is fun. Creating what you have.
I enjoyed this.
I’m glad 🙂 God bless 🌸
Thanks for your great job. May God bless
Your welcome! Glad it was helpful. God bless you as well🌸
Awesome video, great ideas on how to combine things in a dish
Glad you enjoyed and it was helpful☺️
God bless 🌸
Thank u for the video
You are very welcome 🤗☺️
God bless 🌸
I’m new to your channel and growing herbs and vegetables. I had no idea that rosemary could grow that big!! I love all the cactus in your yard.
Hello Bridgett, Yes rosemary can get quite large. I have a UA-cam on the processing the prickly pear cactus fig too.
I realized I replied from my other channel so I will respond again and send you a link to my channel😊🌺

God's Creation Garden & His Harvest Homestead thank you!
Adorable little girl. Praise The Lord I found your channel, but please pray for me the food reactions stop. I can't even eat wild edibles anymore without issues. Last night made a wild edible soup extreme stomach pains.
So sorry 😞
It is important when working with something your body is unfamiliar with to take it slow. One thing I will say about curly dock is that it can be a gentle laxative. Take in moderation to see how your body reacts. Prayers and hope you feel better. 🙏
@@Gods_creation.His_harvest Thanks for your prayers and You are right, but I have been consuming these in small qauntities seperately for a while now and havn't had too many issues, my stomach is feeling a bit better now, so i'm going to go back to eating mono to pin point which one really effects me. I think it was the nettles. I can't handle high amounts of protein and have organ issues.
@@guitarnotator ok I will lift you up in prayer. May The good Lord show you the steps you take to help with this issues🙏
@@Gods_creation.His_harvest Ok thanks
@@Gods_creation.His_harvest I had the dock in a fish soup, and seem to be ok so I also said prayers for you. I will also have some more tonight. Every time I have Dock I will lift you up, like a lady called Jenny who was a christian introduced me to buckwheat that is related. I lift her up also. She's known as the buckwheat lady, so your the dock lady, and chad is the comfrey man 🤣🤣food should always have a connection with people something weve lost in this end time modern day madness!
Looks great ! I do like you except for moisture I use chicken broth. I also can up yellow dock and poke in half pint jars after I boil them once over. Then rinse, then can up like any other green.
That’s good idea. I make bone broth and it’s so nutritious. And canning the wild greens is great! I like to freeze for smoothies and now I am starting to freeze dry greens into powder for smoothies too☺️🌱
@@Gods_creation.His_harvest that's wild about the drying greens. I just built a solar dehydrator for that reason!
Don't forget all thatprickly pear cactus you have there...the pads(after cutting off the thorns} are very food eating - raw or cooked. I dice 'em up with scrambledThe best way for me,however, is to eat them raw. Most mexican grocers trim the thorns, package them up and offer for sale.
Yes I have processed them too I need to use them more though what I’m doing is pruning my prickly pears and then when they come back young and tender I want to harvest them that way
I Make A Prickly Pear & Chicken Soup That Is Delicious 🤤
I come from China, see you and your granddaughter in Picking This plant, my own small garden is also in this kind of, it seems to grow and similar to you, eat is sour. Can I talk to you about this plant internationally? In China we call it leaf-eating grass, protein grass.
We call it yellow dock or curly dock. It does have a tangy taste when cooked.
In China do you have lambs quarters? They grow big here taste like spinach and are very healthy. Here, like yellow dock, its thought of by most as weeds. Thing is they are great eating.
It's not what's said it's what's wanted to hear
wow ! you’re such a babe! so pretty !!!
Are you really sure humans can eat this plants
There are many plants that grow wild that humans can eat. You need to be careful to be sure you identify them correctly. Curly dock or (yellow dock) is edible. The only precaution would be that some greens (including garden greens like spinach) have oxalic acid. Also many nuts have it too. This article explains it well.
