How to Use Pineapple Weed (Wild Chamomile)

Pineapple weed is one of the easiest wild herbs to identify and cook with, although it isn't technically wild chamomile. There's a lot of different things you can do with plant, and I go over a few of them in the video. They're related to chamomile, so they're one of the best wild herbs for tea, but don't sleep on putting the whole flowers in salad for bursts of pineapple flavor.

Appreciate this so much! I have this all over on my property and I’ve never liked it, always thought it stunk Now I want to try it in my salads and as a tea! Thank you! Thank you!

I love pineapple weed. My kids were here the other day, and brought it up, asking if I was going to be making tea soon with it. Some favorite memories are kids following like ducklings as I picked each leaf and flower for a cup of tea, and filled a bowl for salad, all with the "weeds" I grow in my yard and field. Pineapple weeds is their favorite for the smell.I love adding red or white clover blossoms and a bit of wood sorrel. Thanks for the lovely video. I'm off to make some tea,lol.

was somewhere else and they had the link to this, you have solved a lifelong riddle for me when we would walk to and from the beach the ground is full of these, didnt know what they were but yes, did get that pineapple like smell when you walk over them. one of those thing you tell yourself you'll look up, but never get around to it, so thanks again, the tea or lemonade options sound great now that warmer weather is coming.

This is so timely! ❤ I haven't been able to find pineapple weed since we lived in St. Paul and now have a ton springing up in our yard out here in Carver Country! I've got it all in the dehydrator right now. Thank you for sharing such helpful info! 🌿 I know there will be a lot more coming in now that I clipped them.

I infused some into my water on the way up to doing some wild swimming a couple days ago, and I when I was chewing on the leaves I kept thinking it had a bit of a dill flavour which is fun! Excited to try drying them too, though I can never seem to find much of these outside of busy roadsides which puts me off a lot (same goes with Fat Hen which I’d really like to try!)

Acid is always used in salad. Sweetness isn’t but with wild greens it’s often really helpful.

Sugar in vinegar. I like that tip. I still have some of your ramp scrap vinegar around and I finally got some pineapple weed to grow in the garden instead of the gravel in the road haha.

The aroma does absolutely. No sugary taste. Other related plants have strong floral, sweet and apple flavors. The word chamomile even translates to “Earth Apple”, from Greek.
