Usually regarded as a w**d, lambsquarters are widely available in the Midwest.

In Mexico, they are called "quelite cenizo," one of several plants referred to as "quelites," which roughly translates to wild greens or wild herbs. Other common examples include purslane and epazote. 🌿

These plants are often managed by farmers and allowed to grow along the edges of cultivated crops. They offer sustenance before harvest or in the case of failed crops. 🌱

Would you try this? Listen to the latest episode of Earth Eats "Eats Wild" to see how you can incorporate wild greens into your next taco Tuesday! 🌮

Chef Nick Detrich, of Magdelena in Indianapolis, finishes an elegant salt-baked beet dish with fresh, wild greens. 🌿

The sweetness of the beets contrasts nicely with tartness in the wood sorrel labneh sauce and tangy purslane.

Chanterelles have a distinctive orange color, which stands out against dark leaf litter, making them a great mushroom for beginning foragers! 🔎

My partner Carl and I have been gathering chanterelles for years. Carl has a spot where he reliably finds many, almost every year. I headed out there with him in July of 2024 to see what we could find—you can listen to our journey in the latest "Eats Wild" episode!

Once you have identified chanterelles, you can harvest them by cutting close to the base with a pocketknife. They are wonderful when prepared fresh, but can also be dried. We use ours in soup stock. 🍲

Be wary of a toxic look-alike mushroom, the jack-o-lantern. 🎃 Both are some shade of orange and appear in mid-summer (start looking on July 4).

As with all foraging, never eat anything that you aren't 100% sure about. Stay safe and have fun this summer! ☀️

An artist tells the story of how chanterelle hunting in the woods lifted her spirits during the roughest part of the pandemic; and a chef shares a tangy recipe made with backyard w**ds.
