Quiche of the Ground Elder, swamps instead of dams, and the benefits of nature

April 9, 2024

Superfood or weed? Sometimes, the answer to this question could be more precise. In my hands – Ground Elder plant. One of the most troublesome for gardeners. Now, I will teach you how to make quiche from it. After watching this video, I propose to answer the following question: Is it a superfood or a weed?

The Ground Elder dishes are not a modern invention. Monks in the Middle Ages grew it as medicine and a leafy vegetable. Like any vegetable, the Ground Elder will taste not to everyone. But it has everything to become famous – a pleasant carrot taste, fibre and vitamins. So what went wrong, and why did we forget about the Ground Elder?

Unfortunately, this situation is not only in cooking.

Nature has many practical solutions. Wetlands can act as flood defences instead of dams, pheromone insect traps can be used instead of pesticides, and preserving ancient forests can provide whole cities with quality drinking water. However, to use such solutions, we must objectively evaluate nature’s advantages and consider them when making decisions.

Try new flavours, collect wild plants only in ecologically clean places, do not pluck or buy species listed in the Red Data Book, and respect private territories. Remember to subscribe to catch up on all the exciting topics. And look for even more recipes from the Ground Elder and other wild plants on our YouTube channel.
