(upbeat music) - So this is a non-native plant, wild edible, and it's called the Giant Chickweed.

And actually during the cooler weather months, that is the best time to harvest it.

Now the cool thing is the whole plant is edible.

You can eat it raw or you can cook it by incorporating it in stir-frys or different pasta dishes.

But it's also fantastic in salsa or just in your salads.

Also people eat it the same as they would like a bean sprout as well.

And interestingly, I have a friend that says he feels it tastes like peas, like pea pods from a garden.

I feel like it tastes like corn on the cob or corn silk, but it is really, really good.

And I look at it and I just wanna gobble on these leaves.

They are fantastic.

You will enjoy it.
