now that my flower beds are overrun with penny wort, i'm looking for a solution. caught a video on you tube about miner's lettuce in california and the wonders of it as well as the great taste.
looked suspiciously like my penny wort/i.e. dollar weed......
well, i yanked some out of the flower bed and took a bite (washing it, of course, first).....hmmmmm, crossed my mind i might die so decided not to do this anymore until i asked some native carolinians what they think.
ps - first thoughts on it - ummm, kind of nasty - maybe i bit into a too-mature leaf - it was rather large. maybe i should cook it - put dressing on it - but according to the people in california that are eating this , it's very good for you AND is said to be a great pain reliever as well. my back still hurts - could be the size of the plant i pulled out and bit.....
anyone want to weigh in? and if you like it, i'm opening a concession stand later this week......fresh from the flower beds of kure beach, it's MINER'S LETTUCE!
