Yeah, I can see how a stir fry or any form of cooking will make the wild weeds a bit easier to digest. The way I see it is like frying up an onion as opposed to eating it raw, its a huge change in flavour!
exactly... while it's edible in a salad, if you heat it up it will taste better. Sometimes I just put a little bit of water in the frying pan, steam the veggies, then add a bit of soy sauce as my 'stir fry'
Yep, thats an awesome solution.Stir frying / steaming stuff is much better than for example boiling because you don't loose the vitamins that are left in the water.
Here in Alaska I've tried the following wild plants:
chickweed, nettles, dandelion, fireweed shoots, and of course blueberries, raspberries, high-bush cranberries, and rose hips.
Obviously, the berries are great, but the fireweed shoots and dandelion greens are pretty good in a stir fry.
