I always try to read about weeds that are edible. Pepperweed also known as Lepidium virginicum is an edible weed. The entire plant is edible. Young leaves can be used as a potherb, sautéed or used fresh in salads. The young seedpods can be used as a substitute black pepper. ... The flowers can be tossed into a salad and the roots
Lepidium is a genus of plants in the mustard/cabbage family, Brassicaceae. The genus is widely distributed in the Americas, Africa, Asia, Europe, and Australia.
There is not a lot of information on the medicinal benefit of this plant. Native Americans use this plant as general medicine. It is said that tea from its leaves and the seeds can restore sex drive
Until tomorrow…
