Lamb's quarters is a health wild edible. They are found over most of North America. How can you learn to identify this plant?

Hostas, Purslane, Ditch/Day Lilies, Lambs Quarter, Curly Dock, Dandelions. All neighborhood plants we can eat. I’m continually learning and adding to my list in case of emergencies.

I love Lamb's Quarters! I like to cook it 2 different ways. Asian way to cook it is to blanch it in boiling water for 30 seconds to 1 minute, rinse in cold water, squeeze out the water, then drizzle sesame oil, salt, and garlic powder or fresh minced garlic. Mix and enjoy. The other way, I cook it in olive oil with salt and pepper on a cast iron skillet and then eat it with some steamed rice. It is considered a "Super Food".

Wow! This is quite an amazing video for me! There is a weed that grows everywhere among our crops and we pull it out all the time. We didn't know what it was and one day, I googled the description of it and found its name in spanish "cenizo". I'm Spaniard and live in the North of Spain, by the way. I read that it was an edible plant and told my husband but we were not brave enough to try it, we just pulled it out. When I watched your video now and saw the Lamb's Quarter, I couldn't believe my eyes!! Is it posible that Chad is talking about Cenizos? I tried looking for the translation of Lamb's Quarter and couldn't find it, so I thought of checking the scientific name of both... and yes!! they are same plant... unbelievable! God has been blessing us with a plant (not calling it a weed anymore) for this long and we have been throwing it away and feeling frustrated with it! I guess we have to give it a try! Thanks Chad for your great work! KZfaq recommended me your channel as I have been looking for country living content, been in the country for 3 years and still there is so much to learn, but it's an amazing journey! God bless

Great testimony. If you try eating any wild edible one way that is suggested is (Number 1 - Always make sure it is the right plant). If you know it the right plant then rub it on your teeth and gums, right in the front. Wait a day. If there are no side effects then you can try eating a very little. If within another day you have no ill effects you may try eating more.

2:29 i’m actually on my second year of cultivating a weed garden. I don’t personally use them to cultivate for food very often but we do at times instead of cultivate them because they thrive and do a great job at what they do and grow really easily and have excellent nutrition so we are utilizing them to make fermented plant extracts which is equal part plant material with equal part brown sugar or raw cane sugar osmotic pressure begins to take place and the solid sugar draws the moisture out of the plant material this makes a fermented plant extract that’s full of all the essential enzymes you let it strain naturally without squeezing or massaging the material so you only get the best enzymes the rest is to be put back into a jar after the 5th to 7th day of fermentation and added water just over the top and then set aside for three months in order to make living vinegar.

I have a row of "Lambs Quarters" and bunches of them growing in different places in my front yard. Thank you for helping me identify them. I have been watering them every day, and just letting them grow, along with other "weeds" that I think are attractive. Therefore, they are, now, as tall as the roof of my house. They make a great privacy screen. I have been wondering how long they will last. I guess that I will find out. There is a bunch of smaller ones, that are about 3 feet tall. The bunch is smaller than it had been, because an animal came in my yard, and ate the middle section of the bunch.

I always pull these plants in my garden, I thought are just weeds that spreading around. I hate them. Thanks for sharing. Now I know, I will keep them for food.

It grows prolifically here as a weed. I will harvest some in the spring for medicinal purposes. Mullien does too.

We grew up eating this Chad. It was always referred to as "pig weed". It is very good food, better than spinach.
