A community centred around a massively under-utilized food source: the edible weeds we mow down, rip out of our gardens, or spray to kill! Weeds can provide a good auxilliary food source if one knows what theyre looking for.

Please Note: Always do ample research before eating wild plants and be sure you are absolutely sure you know what youre eating! Many wild plants can make you sick if misidentified or improperly prepared. If in doubt, ask an expert before consuming and always use common sense!

I'm a pretty big fan of purselane. I've had it raw in salads and briefly sautéed like spinach. Surprisingly good both ways!
