Wow so sad to see you waist all that food. Common mallow is great in stir fry, soup, and such they act as a thickening agent and add nutrition. You should have saved the leaves.
So I live in this random little weird house apartment area. And there's random weird stuff going around and I'm like I know some of this has to be good. And I just found out I have this mallow growing right outside my door mixed in with some irises. I'm so excited to know their medicinal and I can do something with them. Thank you but we can't say it too loud cuz we'll get in trouble.
Dang, our family has some that invaded a part of our backyard for years but unfortunately, the area had been sprayed with weed killer multiple times over the years. Wish we had known that this was an actual edible useful plant
One of the other weeds I saw in the video, based on the leaves, looks to be "London rocket", which is more or less wild arugula. Its leaves are great. And being a variety of mustard plant, if you let it bloom and collect the seeds, you can make mustard out of them
@@TheMintedMaiden I should have been a little more specific, too. I borrowed a book from my neighbor before buying it and I was perusing through it and the root was quite thick so it's not just hearsay but I saw the evidence😄. Maybe it's from mowing over it many times and causing a thicker root as you started. Either way I still want to grow some it looks like it has so many different awesome uses.😊
@@coloradolivingoffgrid6106 oh it definitely gets thicker! Almost like a carrot after it’s been mowed over for a summer. We can attest to that after I left some of them in this patch to see them grow! The seed pods are a fun snack straight off the plant too.
@@cigileyAtTR Not the mowing, specifically, but just the fact that the plants had been there for a long time and were older plants. I came to find later that the roots can get MUCH larger than the ones here 😂😂
Chop one onion , sauté in half cup olive oil then add Mallow leaves ( 8 ounces ) ,,, simmer for 5 minutes . Don’t forget to add salt and pepper . Extremely delicious
