![]() Edible Plants and Native American Recipes Native American Nutrition Herbal Uses and Preparation ![]() ![]() This garden volunteer found crowding its way into cultivated plots across the United States. It is a national wild food treasure for Native Americans. Typically, the seed heads are eaten while in bloom or when mature. A close relative of Lamb's Quarters is Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa). Both plants are members of the goosefoot family. Chenopodium quinoa is an edible primal grain that you can purchase in health food stores and 7th Day Adventist markets. But Lamb's Quarters is my favorite. The leaves are edible as well as the seed heads. Lamb's Quarters leaf tea was used for treating stomachache, scurvy, diarrhea. A wet pulverized mass may be poulticed over burns. Before applying the mass to the burn site, the victim chews the leaves mixing in saliva and the mouth antibiotic defensin. As food, Lamb's quarters leaves may be added to salads, stir fry, steamed in wontons with quinoa, carrots and burdock root. http://www.herbvideos.com/ewpindex.htm ![]() Last edited by day; 09-11-2009 at 06:52 PM. |
