Weeds and Seeds

One of the healthiest ways to eat
is to harvest wild greens:

On Orcas,
I had an abundance of Nettles and dandelions

In Sonoma,
pigweed and mallow where in glory

Coming to Austin,
things have been slim
except that one garden plot at the Sunset Valley Community Garden
was full of my old friend:
pigweed,
aka,
wild amaranth

Imagine my surprise and delight to discover a magazine
called Edible Austin
in the summer issue of which
had a full page spread on the glories
of eating wild amaranth;'

Here's the link: Eat Wild



And here's the glorious "weed" itself.


Mix in some soaked sunflower,
pumpkin,
almond,
flax seeds

and a little Celtic salt,
and sweetener:
honey, fruit, stevia, agave

and you have a high powered,
super nutritious feast in your hand,
soon to be in and nourishing
your body
