Wild seed drink

September 30, 2021 Erica M. Davis Leave a Comment

This gorgeous wild seed drink is one of the best things I’ve made in a while! I used the seeds of peppergrass, a wild mustard you wouldn't think you could enjoy like chia seeds. But you can! There are many species of peppergrass (Lepidum spp.), both native and non-native. I … [Read more...]

Wild spring salad

May 13, 2014 Erica M. Davis 3 Comments

Just when I think I know everything there is to know about wild mustards, I find another one to eat. This time, I am excited about tumblemustard (Sisymbrium altissimum), which you might know better as tumbleweed, because at maturity when it dries out it detaches from its stem and … [Read more...]
