Chickweed is one of my favorite wild edible Spring plants! It is full of nutrients and minerals, it’s fresh, nutty flavor is delicious raw, in salads or processed into pesto. Here are three recipe videos to learn more about Chickweed as you whip up a Chickweed grilled cheese sandwich, juice it or process it into a Thai pesto.
