RE: Steemit Iron Chef 2017 #08: Savory Pumpkin Custard on a Bed of Baby Wild Greens – with Black Nightshade and Spruce Tree Dressing – and Flowers!
That's a great video! And I learned something new -- I'll be eating peach leaves next spring, that's for sure - very cool! There are so many great weeds, she's so right! There's a lot of misunderstanding about black nightshade. I think it stems from a misunderstanding about common names. Sam Thayer has a great, definitive article on the edibility of Black Nightshade.
Cool! Thanks for the resource here. Yeah, I think somehow I've equated black nightshade with “deadly nightshade,” as it says in the article. So interesting to consider the spectrum of plants that belong to the nightshade family: potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, bell peppers...
