If you garden you may have a good knowledge of your weeds and as we all know they can be quite the handful... However most people throw them away without considering that they might actually be beneficial to your health, in fact many weeds often possess a multitude of health benefits to which we are blind. A great example of this is the common weed lambs quarters. The plant has a flavour very similar to rapini and spinach and is excellent sauteed in garlic butter!
One of the most amazing things about this plant is that one portion of lambs quarters for dinner can have several times the daily recommended intake of vitamin C and is loaded with nutrients. So next time your out weeding the garden try to keep an eye out for this 'weed'.
