I love wild edibles! They are so nutrient-dense and rich in minerals.  You don't need to eat large quantities to get great results.

One of my favorites is purslane. Not only does it have a delicious lemony taste, it also has incredible health benefits.  It has more omega-3 fatty acids, in the form of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), than any other leafy plant on earth, which is great for heart health.

Purslane is also a good source of Thiamin, Niacin, Vitamin B6 and Folate, and a very good source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Riboflavin, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Copper and Manganese.

Most people think onions are just a condiment that adds flavor to their food with no real nutritional value. 

Onions actually contains lots of good things.  In just one cup of onions you will receive 11% fiber, 20% Vitamin C, 10% Vitamin B6 and 8% of your daily needs of folate.

Onions also contain quercetin, a phytochemical with antioxidant properties for better health.

The Farm2School program in La Crosse, Wisconsin, has developed a creative way to get kids to eat more fruits and veggies.  They bring in locally grown produce and ask the kids for their help in taste-testing the new foods.  The kids are happy to try out the free samples and give their input.  Let’s hope many more schools decide to follow this innovative idea and then we will have schools competing over which one provides the healthiest foods.
