Foraging: what’s in season in spring

Nettles – they are abundant and full of nutrients
Wild garlic – the trendy ingredient carpets woodlands
Elderflowers – though they are important for pollinators, so leave more than you take
Chickw**d – an underrated w**d full of vitamins and minerals. It is good in salads or turned into pesto
Dandelions – they are abundant and all parts are edible. Add young leaves to salads, sandwiches or pies. Flowers can be used in risotto or omelettes, for decoration, or to make beer and wine.
Mallow – its pretty purple flowers are edible and great for decoration. Its leaves are rich in protein, calcium, iron and vitamin C.

But only take what you need:https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/may/13/excessive-foraging-for-wild-garlic-and-mushrooms-in-uk-a-risk-to-wildlife
