• Wild parsnip root, free food! I used to do it all wrong with this plant because I would start harvesting when I saw they begin to flower, worried I might "miss my chance". But then I found out that it's better to harvest when it starts getting colder and it was true! The plant grows twice in the year and if you wait for the cold season ones you'll get some huge tender roots that are a great addition to any meal. The warm season roots are tough and fibrous so there's just not much to think about here, great plant to forage from autumn to winter.

  • #Alfalfa is mostly known as feed for livestock, which is why I wasn't surprised to find it growing wild at #WarsingDam in #NorthDakota. It's also super nutritious for us as well and is considered a #SuperFood, because of the high levels of essential nutrients and fiber it provides and it's loaded with powerful #antioxidants.

    Because it's so popular as cow or horse feed, many would never guess it blesses us with these beautiful blooms. Every part of the plant above the ground can be eaten or steeped into a tea and the seeds can be ground and mixed in with flour to heighten the nutritional profile.
