    Like you said, once you identify a wild plant, you see them everywhere. Yesterday I never saw them. Today they are everywhere. Even at my mailbox. Good video.

    Great video. We pick them, steam them, and freeze them in ziploc bags. During the year we use them as a panzarotti stuffing. Saute with onions and stuff inside a pizza dough with cheese and ham or salami. Bake for 20 minutes.

    I remember playing with these when I would visit Michigan because they were everywhere in summer. Never knew these were edible! :D

    Thank you I adore the beauty of these so much! Our highway dept. planted along the entrances and now they beautifully spread to neighboring yards. So they border my yard. Joyful to see butterflies and bees flitting among the flowers. Now I gotta try sauteeing the leaves. YAY!~

      I understand that the flowers can also be pink or white, depending on the ph of the soil.

    You said "blue flower". I love seeing them very Spring-Summer times. But only this time I learned its name. And color! You said blue. But i thought they were lavender or purplish! And only today I learned their edible ___and thank you so much for eating them before my eyes in this video!

    Years ago I had read that chicory is called 'nature's litmus' as when grown in acid (I believe) soil the flower is pink. I think I have even seen it with some blue and some pink flowers at the same time.

    @onnislee1 Před 2 lety +2

    So there's 2 types of chicory plants (1 looks like this with blue flower and the other looks like lettuce above ground)? If so, what's the difference and is one considered wild and the other not?

  • @43Rhein10
    @43Rhein10 Před 7 lety

    Thank you David =)
    ... and how would suggest one could find out, whether a certain place has been sprayed with yuck or chemicals?
    B.t.w. dried leaves (April-Sept.) can be used as tobacco. The leaves are especially bitter during the flowering period(≈July-Sept.) but soaking them in water helps.

  • @phillipmerritt1428

    Thanks for the video on chicory. I live in South Georgia and I've got one that volunteered in my yard. I've asked several plant experts that I thought and they all said that it's not chicory could you know anywhere I might be able to send pictures of it to get somebody's confirmation my book said it is but it came in in early May. June. Any help if you got time. Gingdah

      @davidspassage  Před 8 lety

      +GreenRiver Girl7 (GreenRiverGirl7) Thanks! And no, I'm not 100% sure which part of the plant contains the most vitamin K. My thought would be the leaves since that is that the plant is mostly used for (as as salad green)

    Very very informative. However, the chicory available in the local farmers market looks more like spinach/chard. Is that a different variety?
