foraging food

Foraging for fresh tender leaves is a great way to add new flavours and textures to your meals.

Tender leaves are typically the youngest and smallest leaves found on plants, and they often have a delicate, light flavour.

To forage for tender leaves, you’ll need to identify plants that are safe to eat and look for the youngest leaves on those plants. Some great options include dandelion greens, purslane and campion.

Once you’ve found your leaves, make sure to wash them thoroughly before consuming. You can use tender leaves in a variety of ways, including as a garnish, in salads, or sautéed with other vegetables.

By foraging for fresh tender leaves, you can flavour your dishes like a five-star restaurant without having to pay the premium prices.
