We call it, Goose Foot, here. I have dried it and powdered it to add to my dandelion greens powder. It freezes well too. Our sheep love it. We supplemented their feed with it all summer during the drought. I think it saved them from developing malnutrition issues.
It used to be really easy to find the nutritional information on this, there was even a graphic chart that showed the content on essential amino acids. To my knowledge it is the only plant with all 9 with the proper proportions
Great video 👍
Keywords there is "used to"! That is actually how I found Heidi's YT channel - I noticed that you just cannot find good info in web searches any longer. All you see are the big pharma related results. That's when I started searching out all my hard copy herb books and have been adding to my collection. Vintage ones are the best! And thanks for the amino acids info!!
Do you have any favorite herb books, that people might still be able to find for purchase?@@Kay-du4ll
Thank You ! I thought it was a weed, but since I'm learning about Foraging...I researched it and came across your video. Your The Best ! Thank you again & God Bless ~
I dug some small ones up from the side of the road. They are over my head now.
Thanks for the reminder about lambsquarter Heidi. People should really learn about the "weeds" that grow all around them. God has created everything we need to sustain us and keep us healthy and nourished.
Thank you ❤ I have been growing for years and always give it to the chicken's 🐓 Next year I will harvest some to jar up and add to my greens blend 🌱
I appreciate and admire you for all you do to help other's 🌹🙏🌟😘
Lamb's Quarter was used for bandages in the Civil War to stop bleeding of those wounded. I'm in Missouri and it grows wild here in my yard. Thanks for the medicinal info. information information.
I know Lamb's Ear is used that way, which I also grow, because it is also absorbent and antiseptic. I did not know that about Lambsquarters
Another weed used in battle was yarrow, 2 powerhouses ❤👍
What can I say..... You're the Best ! I too love Lambs Quarters. I first learned about them from Stacy from Offgrid with Doug and Stacy. I admire both of you woman and trust you both impeccably 🌻🍂🍁😊 Many thanks for many years of great insight and information. God is good and you are a blessing. 🌻
If I remember correctly from my archeology days in college, when North American Native Americans first began cultivating plants, this was one of their primary ones.
Looked up to see if you had a video on lambs quarters…thankfully, YES! Thank you!!
I use the leaves whole in salads, or piled high on sandwiches, or chopped and sautéed with other greens and vegan sausage for use in a burrito. Chop it up and use it fresh over avocado toast along with some pink salt, chopped tomatoes, garlic powder, cumin, cayenne, and turmeric. The still green seed clusters can go right in with the leaves, too.
Lambsquarters do taste good
Another delicious plant is sorrel
Tastes like a sour apple to me
We have sheep's sorrel and wood sorrel that grow wild, one on our home piece and the other on our piece down the road
One person once said to me, the salad greens farmers would go bankrupt if people realized it was just weeds! 😂
I grew up using this herb as a cure for sore throat. we would take a few leaves, add a pinch of salt and chew on them a few times a day. Thank you so much, Heidi, you inspire me and I learn from you a lot.
We call it goosefoot and it grows along side my mints. No one has a problem plucking a mint leaf and chewing on it. I then pluck a leaf of goosefoot, introduce it as a weed and invite people to nibble it. It's really good raw. That's how I introduce folks to the idea of eating the weeds. I've offered them my acres of Kudzu to harvest, no takers yet, but in a SHTF situation, I bet they'll remember my offer.
There it is!! Of course, mine is now covered in snow.... 😂 I did harvest some prior, but not a whole lot bc I had too much other stuff going on. I do have a lot that have went to seed and turning a lovely purple. I'll probably grab those and find a designated area to grow them. Great video as always! God IS good ALL the time! Blessings!!
I love when you add biblical versus to your videos at the end.
Me too..the Bible is the best book ever wrote
Chop and drop. Also, an aerobic and/or anaerobic fertilizer. Great video as usual.
I have it and mullein EVERYWHERE. I've had a problem with amaranth lately too? I use lambs quarter fresh in salad with chickweed and sheep sorrel and cooked in soups/stews same as you.
This is easily my favorite wild green. I use the leaves fresh in salads or just to nibble on while I’m out in the yard. I also dehydrate the leaves along with nettle and amaranth leaves for a dried greens mix I use over the wintertime (I’m pretty sure I got that idea from you, Heidi). I’ve read that the seeds can be eaten like a hot cereal or porridge, but I haven’t been that adventurous yet
Hello fellow Minnesotan. The hot cereal use is new to me, I wonder how it would be to mix just a small amount with oatmeal...sort of like easing into cold water instead of cannonballing...see if you can handle it before jumping in.
Im just learning. This is so informational.
This year I had one plant that had the purple powder. I was like hey, I'll eat that one.
Rain I just admire you so so much my favorite plant teacher
I sauté mine up and add wild garlic, greenbrier tips (a common sticker vine in Central Texas) Swiss Chard, plantain, kale, etc and have it on the side with my eggs and toast in the morning. It’s fabulous! Next year I’m going to take your suggestion and dehydrate some up to put in soups during the winter. They grow so large and are so prolific that they make a great chop and drop mulch around my veggies. This is a valuable and welcome “weed” in my garden! Great video
This is one I have not used but found on our property last week! Good to know it’s edible and medicinal 🤗 thanks again Heidi be blessed always!
Great information; thanks for sharing! It grow abundantly here in central Alberta, Canada. I’ve let it grow in my flower beds & gardens. I blanched some this year with the stalks on (they’re stringy & need to be chopped). I’ve used it in lasagna in place of spinach & it tastes great.
i have them in my backyard. I just made a salad with some. first time eating something produced in the back yard. even though i didnt do anything to keep them alive, it feels good to be able to harvest them.😅😅
I have it all over my yard. I add it to salads, sauteed veggies and soups, stews. Put in omelets. Never dried it up but that's a great way to preserve it.
Thank you so much cause I didn't know lambsquarter helped with sugar levels. Its the only one I can eat without cooking it. Pineapple weed is the only one I haven't seen this year in my garden. And I'm sure going too make the egg roll wraps too. Cause I've been buying them at $4.49. It sure will save me a lot this year. Can make egg rolls in my air fryer .
Great information. We learned about it around 10 years ago and I use it fresh in salad in season in season as well as dried in my green mix as well. Did not know the seeds were edible, we usually just let some self seed. Thanks for sharing.
I am a raw food vegan and I would love to use this may be in place of spinach and in combination with the broccoli sprouts, very cool
I love lambs quarters/goose foot! I do have a problem though, because my father-in-law likes to spray junk on the weeds to get rid of them! Good thing I can go to the back and get them there!
Thank you Heidi!
I had dehydrated some and forgot about it, ill have to remember to add it to soups. It grows like crazy here in Minnesota.
Love it just wilted in pan with vinegar and salt. As kids we ate tonnes of it. Very very delicious
I hope a whole field of them in my backyard. I have amaranth too. I use the leaves in my smoothie.
Harvesting some right now.
Mix leaves and seeds in a stir fry with onions, garlic, potato, carrots, purslane, chard, beet greens and wild mustard. Season with salt, pepper, herbs and hot sauce. Put in a large frying pan, cover with olive oil and add a cup of water. Cook at high heat until the water steams of then cook for a couple more minutes on a lower heat. Good. For a little extra protein, stir in a couple of eggs toward the end.
Thank you again Heidi for sharing your wealth of knowledge and experiences.
Hi Heidi, God is good all the time. Hallelujah.❤❤❤🙏🏻
I had been searching for this herb since we moved to our property here in Wisconsin but couldn't find any. Then 2 summers ago some came up voluntarily in my front garden. I was so happy to see it!
We grew up eating and canning lambs quarters and I really like it as much as spinach. I had a nice 41/2 foot tall plant growing by the steps to my front door and had to keep everyone from wanting to pull my “weed”. It grew right next to a big beautiful German heirloom tomato plant, they got along very well. I wish I had taken pictures! Thank you for your time and this video, I like know all it’s benefits and uses. God Bless you and your family.😊
I'm going to dehydrate some and make an herbal infusion!
I eat them raw! I am one who needs the vitamin B,s Thank you Heidi, I did not know some of what you are talking about with the Lambsquarters. Thank you again for another Great video and the help you give me. I have used it as I back out from sting nettles and chew up the lambsquarters and it takes the sting out of it.
Great to know all this , thank you it grows everywhere in my gardens,
Thank you, Heidi, for this info. Many years ago, when I came home from a very long trip, I found this lamb's quarter in the backyard the size of a 6-foot tree. I was horrified. When I tried to get rid of it, all the tiny seeds rained down and covered the entire backyard. I spent the rest of that year picking the little seedlings that came up non-stop. No idea it has so much nutrition. Now I have to start hunting for them.
Now we are talkin 'bout my favorite weed :) We had soooo much this year that i saved a couple gallon jars for the humans, a brown grocery bag full for the chickens, and pulled the rest up to put around our property for the winter birds to find :)
I like making Pesto sauce out of Lamb's Quarter 🤤 Thanks for all your great ideas Heidi! I have a question; is there as much nutritional value in the seeds?
O yes, all seeds are loaded with nutrients, they have to be because that is what gives the new plants their boost
I’m not sure if we have any or not. I’ll have to wander around the property and look. I’m enjoying reading all the comments. Thanks again!! Many Blessings!
Thanks for the update and the information I love your page
Contains Copper? This is definitely going on my shopping list. I've just watched a video by d r b e r g on copper deficiency being the root cause of sciatica.
I like this weed. Haven't used it much, but it came with a load of dirt that we got that was topsoil lol
I found it in my back yard.
Thanks Heidi 😊 ❤❤
Thank you Heidi and community!
All this time I thought lambsquarters and lambs ear were the same thing.☺️🥴 Yes, they look very different! I don't think I've seen it in the yard but now that I can ide tify it, I'll look more closely!
Blessings! 💜
Grows in MN! Got some 'aged manure' from an organic farm a couple years ago, and now I have it in my yard. Why did I not think to dehydrate it?! Maybe because I'm a salad eater....
It's usually prolific here, and my preferred way is to pressure can the leaves and add them to scrambled eggs or ???
How do you can it? Like spinach?
Thank you!
So informative
Thanks so much
This morning I discovered this in my new garden bed and recognized it. As a child I must have foraged bushels of it! Will one plant reseed itself and can I transplant it? Thanks for the video!!
Famine buster. I've eaten it my whole life.
I love Lam's Quarters more every year. I just pick leaves, wash and boil 5 minutes, drain, add butter, salt, and pepper and enjoy. Wonderful plant and very easy to grow. I find it prefers rich soil. 🇺🇸
❤❤❤❤
I stopped seeing "weeds" a long time ago.
Tons of it here in Missouri, don’t have to plant it for sure
I’m always hesitant to just look at something & say pick it. I would want a human w/ me to say yes.
Also everyone be careful because there is a nightshade variety that can bare resemblance to lambs quarters to those who are unaware. It is poisonous. The leaves can sometimes be very similar, and the flowers. If it wasn't for the fact they make berries, it would be difficult
I am in northeast texas & i am still trying to find lamb's quarters & mullien in the county i am in. I have been eating green briar tips, chickweed, queen anne's lace(wild carrots), board leaf dock, cleavers, pruslane, boysenberries, elderberries, use plantain & wild lettuce, yarrow, american beauty berries, mimosa flowers. I have been able to locate, forage many, transplant some to my property, but still haven't encountered any lamb's quarters or mullien.
You know...I quit watching many homesteader/ herbal medicine channels simply because they would say things like mother earth gave it or "the gods" etc and variations of those.
You may be the first Christian one I've come across
There are others who give God the glory but I understand, they are few and far between
@@RainCountryHomestead unfortunately. And considering the season we are in it's sad to see
Very helpful video for anyone new to this delicious green.
I had it everywhere on our old property but we moved and I can’t find it anywhere😢. Thank you for sharing another great video Heidi❤
Lambsquarter seeds are available at some seed companies. Pinetree Garden Seeds is one that sells them online for $2.95 for a packet of 500 seeds.
@@dalegaa4094 Thank you for the Iinfo!!
Love watching this after the frost 😂 Thank you! We eat this fresh in salads, mostly in the spring as we “weed” the garden for planting. I like it better than spinach too. 🌺
Thanks Heidi. Would you consider teaching us about Solomon’s Seal? Thank you and God bless.
If I ever get around to learning about it. I usually only study up on things I grow, forage, or even purchase for specific use and then make my videos based on the time of research and my own personal uses and experiences
Fabulous I’ll have to subscribe and get your list I’d love to grow this stuff, I don’t know that I can actually get it in a grocery store or even a Whole Foods store but this is really very enticing I love it!
I've found I need to be careful as pigweed like like it... and some have thorns.
Great information Heidi. Thank you!😊
Good video, thanks for sharing, God bless !
I like to saute mine, and add it into omelets.
Lambs quarters are all over our garden! This is totally one of the first preserved herbs prepared this year! So cool to you cover it.
I literally have run out of room on the shelf for the teas and seasonings. ❤❤❤
👍
Dang, I did not know it was edible. Where's my list............
Can we dry and make tea? How it works for losing weight 😮
Do you know if there is a look-a-like to this plant that is poisonous. Just making sure that the ones in my yard is the right stuff.
Mine turned brown drying.I hung mine up to dry.Didnt have time to use dehydrator,which leaves it green.Did I RUIN it? Please tell me before I throw it away?
They may not be very nutrient dense but depends on how brown they turned. It may have been light exposure that turned them brown
@@RainCountryHomestead I bundled some in sun and shade both 2 weeks ago.Help?I soak in everything you teach.Should i have done this in dehydrator??i have 3.should i tehcture? I'm in Ala..and sun was hot.I am a freshman at this.
This is a weed that I have only recently found out about and am keen to try. A question though, does cooking it damage the nutrients in it? I've heard that herbs should be dried at a low temperature to maintain the medicinal qualities (something I struggle with as my dehydrator can't adjust the temperature and it iss too hot) so I often wonder if cooking ruins the nutritional value.
Cooking can damage nutrients in anything but what most do not realize is that it is only going to be some of the vitamins, all other nutrients such as flavonoids, minerals, and more stay intact
Do you have a book? I would buy it if you do?
No I do not, sorry. ua-cam.com/video/Mvn2EDBvaSY/v-deo.html
I thought this was poisonous from what I'm reading.
You forgot hormones
You need to be a bit more specific about what you claim I "forgot"
I read the powder on the leaves on this herb is a salt substitute! 🤗
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
