Red Clover (Trifolium Pratense) is a wild edible that is a nutritional powerhouse! It contains many vitamins and nutrients, including protein! (The leaves and flowers have a mild sweetness to them, and they taste similar to a freshly picked green bean.) In this episode, I demonstrate how to: properly identify, harvest, and eat this wonderful plant.
Fritter batter recipe:
- 1 Cup Flour
- 1 Tspn baking powder
- 2 Tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 Egg
- ¼ Cup melted butter
- ¾ Cup milk

An appetite stimulant.. imagine you're starving, and find a bunch of red clover, only to eat them and end up extra hungry 😂

I can imagine someone ripping up their lawn and purposely planting a lot of edible "weeds" and having their neighbors complain at the "ugly lawn". It would no longer be a useless grassy lawn, but instead a food and medicine lawn.

I found out long time ago in Victorian era they did not have lawns but yards of dandelion's because of what the roots could do and if they saw grass they pull the grass out

I garden at my S.O.'s. He really doesn't like my Red Clover in the garden. At least he is allowing it to be in a specific bed.

@@mainemavin Clover is beneficial to any foliage-heavy plants as it can fix nitrogen from the air into the soil. I prefer white clover over red clover when it comes to looks and growth habits. My yard and garden is a "weedy mess" as I like to let things grow and see what happens. Last year some Maypops showed up, they didn't look too good (they struggled), but this year they seem to be doing great. Also found a gift purple clematis growing on my fence, probably a result of birds for the both of them.

I always used to eat these on the playground at school. I don't know why really. Someone told me they were edible when I was a kid. I especially liked tasting the nectar from the flowers. The leaves always reminded me of the flavor of carrots.

Doesn't have to be fermented. Whether in tea or capsule form it's a great hormonal treatment for menopause or hot flashes. My wife would be lost without it.

Learned about these a few years ago when we took a foraging class. We added them to the group salad for a taste at the end.:) This year I have expanded my wild edibles beyond the clover but since I have so many growing in my own back yard, I thought I would do alittle more research. Great info to get me excited again and a neat way other than adding them to my salad was what I was looking for. I made the fritters as a side dish one day and I really enjoyed them. Thanks for the info and the recipe.
