garlic wild

got lots of wild garlic



yellow flowers taste like spicy brocoli



seeds are about a mm long and green



can the green seeds be used to make yellow garlic paste?


hmm, do you know the specific species? there are a lot of alliums and even if someone finds some in the wild they sometimes can come from escaped domesticated varieties.

i don't see anything obvious saying that they are toxic but i've never done anything like that. if it tastes good and you don't react poorly to eating it go ahead, but as always i think it a good idea to go light at first and see if your body does react to a new food item.

my experience with onion seeds is that they have a hard husk on the seed so i've not gone beyond that and instead if i have extra i just bury them deeply so that the worms can eat them eventually.

i planted some extras this past fall to see if they would survive the winter or not if left out there, we'll see what spring brings.

let us know what happens, if it is good, etc. :)
