![Lambs Quarter Identification & Edible Uses [The Foraging Chronicles Episode 2]](/img/n.gif)
I had a handful of lamb quarters in my lunch salad!
Where did u get it from ..and by what name plz
I was making some homemade organic weed killer yesterday. I have thistle in my garden. Also I have lambsquarter as well. I noticed the insects are eating the lambsquarter and not my vegetables. So I didn't spray the LQ. I've been gardening for 50 years and and I buy #7 dust. I wish I had know about it sooner.
It was eaten during Lammas quarter day festival
Had it in my omelet
Lamb's quarters, also known as Chenopodium album, is a highly nutritious plant. Here are some of its nutritional components:
1. Vitamins: Lamb's quarters are a good source of various vitamins, including vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate.
2. Minerals: This plant is rich in minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus.
3. Protein: Lamb's quarters contain a notable amount of protein, which is relatively high for a leafy green vegetable.
4. Fiber: It is a good source of dietary fiber, which is essential for healthy digestion and can help maintain bowel regularity.
5. Antioxidants: Lamb's quarters contain antioxidants like beta-carotene, vitamin C, and flavonoids, which help protect the body against oxidative stress and inflammation.
6. Omega-3 fatty acids: It contains a small amount of omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health and inflammation reduction.
It's worth noting that the nutritional composition may vary slightly depending on factors such as soil quality, growing conditions, and plant maturity. Nevertheless, lamb's quarters are generally considered to be a nutritious addition to a balanced diet.
Thanks for that. Recently found out my partner is pregnant and we have heaps of this in the garden, no doubt it will be a beneficial addition to our diet.
Where do u get this from other than garden
..I mean which super store
Where can I get this from ? ..in which supermarket
Does your plant turn pink & yellow as it wilts???
What is the oxalate content????
Very little
Do they have whitish look their leaves? Some videos show it with a white powdery look some don't. So I am confused on identifying this. Thanks
@@KrunchTastic thank you!
They are also “hydrophobic “, their leaves repel water. I am getting ready to harvest some and try them for the first time.😀
@@lilolmecj we have been eating them now for about 2 weeks. Typically I steam them with carrots or out them in a tofu scramble. I made a type of nugget with them today it was amazing. I was growing spinach in my garden and it didn't produce well but I have lambs quarter everywhere naturally so I am not stressing. Life is good! Enjoy. 🙂
@@LookAliveYoga I am going to try just pulling off the leaves and seed pods and stir fry them in butter, just serve them as a traditional “green”. My spinach and lettuce were pathetic this year, so I will sow some more mid to late August for a fall crop. Two years ago I planned to harvest Lsmbs Quarters but never quite got around to it, and last summer just didn’t have much show up. This year he bed I planted English peas in was literally overrun by yellow clover and LQ! I am just letting nature run its course. Thank you so much for your kid and helpful reply!!😸
@@lilolmecj sounds good! Nice meeting you.
India uses lambsquarters as a crop.
It has oxalic acid so don’t eat to much
Very little compared to other sources of oxalic acid. It has a fraction of what is in rhubarb.
