Beach mustard: a foraged green to spice things up!

To all the people who love some spice in their lives, this one is for you. Beach mustard is a wild green that commonly grows on sand dunes and beaches in most of the coastal areas of Australia. This wild plant has a remarkable spicy-salty taste and is easy to spot due to its resemblance to a succulent rocket plant.

Nettle: versatile plant and delicious ingredient.

An Aboriginal friend of mine taught me a great camping hack with nettle. You collect the plant, stalk and all (use gloves or a rolled-up shirt) and place the branches on stones near a fire. They will cook in the heat, neutralising the sting and turning into excellent nettle chips. All you need is nettle, fire, and salt.

Wild food foraging - Ep 3

Make sure you know what you're looking at before you eat it. If in doubt, do not eat it.
The way to check on key identification features is through visual clues, but also by using your other senses like smell and touch.
A great way to remember this is through stories, so learn the stories related to the plants, 'cause that will remind you of the features.

Wild food foraging - Ep 2

The best to forage is your own garden, as there is where you know what is growing and how it is managed. In your garden, you will be able to take your time to learn about plants, how to identify them and expand your knowledge. Following from that you explore your neighbourhood where you will spot trees with overhanging fruits. Learn patterns and start mapping. There are food and medicine everywhere.
