Wild Edibles #24 Daisy Fleabane (erigeron annuus ) 

Interestingly Greek beekeepers have found something in fleabane that works well in the treatment of beehives against varroa mites. So perhaps it is a bane and we just lost the knowledge somewhere down the line. Great video by the way, thank you.

Just identified this plant yesterday after my first time seeing it. Nibbled on a small leaf and was so surprised at how much the taste resembles a radish . Wild plants have such a wide variety of flavors, it's amazing. Thanks for this video.

I need some of the daisy tea....i have very poor digestion, i dont even burp....its a heredity gene i think....my daily diet consists of a variety of edible plants and edible mushrooms, which i make a soup from right from our garden and property.... my land is free from any kind of pesticide or commercial fertilizers.....i have identifed daisy Philadelphia fleabane... so im going outside and collecting a bunch for dehydration......THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE GARDENING TIP.....VERY HELPFUL.... BE SAFE. STAY STRONG.. 🪴 🪴 🌱 🌿

I see it's supposedly works as an insect repellent overall and from munching on a leaf or 2 I can see that. It tastes like the smell of a bug repellent like citronella and something else I cant put my finger on but I've smelled it before in bug repellents. That being said, I don't think the leaf tastes too bad at all in moderation. Planning to make a tea soon

In the middle ages, they used to burn fleabane and scatter the ashes on their dirt floors to ward off, well....uh fleas.

This is a great video. Thank you!

May God bless you, my friend.

Wonderful, thank you 🤘🏼

Can you make tea with the whole plant? Or are the leaves the only edible part?

Is it the same as Philadelphia flea bane?

are philadelphia fleabane and daisy fleabane the same thing?

Do you ever travel to Louisiana (Hammond) to teach foraging

can you smoke it

what would happen if i made a tea out of the flowering part. would i get sick??

I have a plant in my yard that popped up all over the yard this year....it looks like flea bane but I am not sure it is because it doesnt have fuzzy leaves. Are there variations on this plant? how can i send you a photo?

I am learning can you til me about the daisy that looks like this one but has a fern-like leaves on it? can I use it here in Oregon just learning thank you so much?
