Niveau B1

Spring is here, and there are hundreds of buds, shoots, flowers, tender greens, and mushrooms for you to find, and eat! Grab a basket, and get ready to forage in the fields, or even your garden. Many plants are only edible for a short while, so there’s no time to waste.

But before you begin, make note to only pick plants you can identify. Don’t ever eat anything you’re not 100% sure is edible. Here are two plants you can find – depending on where you are in the world – and eat:

Dandelion

If you’re making your foraging debut, the dandelion is a great place to start. Almost everyone can identify a dandelion! Dandelions get their names from their jagged leaves that look like lion’s teeth. Early in the spring, look for the leaves, which grow in a circle low to the ground. The leaves point like arrowheads outwardsfrom the centre of the circle. You won’t see the yellow dandelion flower until later in spring.

How to eat:

Pick the leaves before the flower stalk grows because that’s when they’re the juiciest and most delicious. You can eat them raw as a green salad with olive oil and lemon, or you can sauté them with a little bacon to eat with your eggs.

Stinging nettle

Stinging nettle is a plant with fine hairs that irritate and burn you when you touch them. But early spring is the best time to collect stinging nettle because these hairs are not yet fully developed, and you can harvest them without gloves. Stinging nettle is full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. So, get picking!

How to eat:

The stinging hairs won’t sting if you cook them, so they’re safe to eat or drink. Dry bunches of stringing nettle, then put some into a strainer and steep it in a cup of hot water. It makes a delicious tea. You can also use stinging nettle as a replacement for spinach in cooked meals. Just boil it in hot water for three minutes and then add it to your stew, quiche or bolognaise sauce.
