Okay, I've nibbled it before. I often taste the weeds I'm gathering for the bunnies. But yesterday I gathered a good handful and added it to my salad. Delicious! And, I learned, one of the most nutritious plants around. We have an abundance growing in between the lettuce, carrots and chard. Instead of pulling it, from now on I'm harvesting it. Can't wait to try it in a stir fry!
Bunnies, you have to share!
