Cooking Wild Spinach That I Harvest From My Garden

The real gifts from nature to help you survive are wild edible plants to be cooked into food.

There are various kinds of wild edible plants in our respective areas which can be found without a price. It's purely a gift from nature. We can't ask them to come at all. Just like a surprise.

I love wild mushrooms, more and more. But now I can no longer find them because the forest land has been turned into human habitation. So, I need another wild plant.

Thanks, God. There is still one other type of wild plant that I can find around me. In fact, there are so many of them and they easily breed into wild colonies.

One type of wild edible plant that I can easily find in the area where I live is wild spinach. Wild spinach even grows like a craze with its seeds that are easily spread by the wind and then grow to reproduce the plant.

I'll take you guys to see me harvest wild spinach, then cook wild spinach together with vermicelli noodles. Stay tuned!

Harvesting Wild Spinach

My garden hasn't been completely clean after I left traveling to another city. Indeed, I had grown water spinach (kangkung) as a start. But unexpectedly, there was a wild spinach that grew crazily and even partially covered my water spinach plants.

But I'm actually happy. Wild spinach helps me meet my daily vegetable requirements. So, this time I decided to harvest wild spinach to cook with vermicelli noodles.

Well, wild spinach has bigger leaves than the types of spinach that are usually sold in our local market. But actually the taste is stronger and the texture of the sticks is more chewy.

To be honest, I prefer the wild type of spinach compared to the type of spinach that is grown and sold in the market.

Of course, those that grew wild would be more natural than those grown by human hands. How nature is stronger than man himself. Agree, right?

I harvest wild spinach with great zeal. I plucked the stem of the leaf. Oh, their shape is so beautiful. Thank you, God and the universe!

I harvested enough to cook this time. Wild spinach leaves wilt easily. So it's better to harvest them only when you really want to cook them to keep them fresh.

After harvesting wild spinach, I headed for the kitchen. Well, my kitchen is darker. So, their pictures will have higher contrast compared to my pictures taken in the garden.

I Will combaine the spinach with Vermicelli. Really easy to make it, I promise.
