Why should we eat our weeds? Because they are delicious, they’re nutritious and too good to waste. And they’re free. This is more than just a recipe book, more than a foraging book. Julie Bruton-Seal, professional herbalist and, with Matthew Seal, a best-selling author have both shared their epertise in Eat Your Weeds! to give us the fascinating background to these overlooked wild plants, their historic use, the medicinal benefits today and their culinary delights. Weeds are amazing beings that we have failed to see and failed to eat. But with these 90 delicious plant-based recipes, that is about to end.
