Quickweed (Galinsoga Parviflora)

Annual herb; harvest in summer

These are a pretty run-of-the-mill potherb. You simply pull up the plants whole and snip
off the roots. Coarsely chop the remaining plant, and boil it for 15–25 minutes. Remember
all of those flavorful herbs I’ve been suggesting you add to bland ones? This is that bland
32
one. Quickweed is nutritious and makes a good base to set off and frame other, more
flavorful choices. If you’ve collected some peppergrass, this is a great time to whip it out.
