Remember those pesky weeds that grow every summer in the middle of your bountiful garden?

Well as it turns out, they might not be as harmful as you originally thought!

Thanks to the ‘Seed Guy’ on Facebook, the social media user has an announcement for everyone who wants to read it and that is, weeds are edible, surprised yet?

That’s right, some weeds you can eat and they’re not only edible but apparently they’re healthy too; but there’s one thing to keep in mind if you do decide to chew on a weed.

Watch out for pollution.

Weeds that you suspect that might have vehicle exhaust or lawn pesticides, stay away from those areas.

It’s also good to know that just because weeds are edible, that doesn’t mean they’re allergen-free; so here are several good ones you can consider to eat.

Here’s a list for reference, according to the Seed Guy.

  • Dandelions
  • Purslane
  • Lamb’s Quarters
  • Plantain
  • Chickweed
  • Clover
  • Mallow
  • Wild Amaranth
  • Stinging Needle

Just make sure that just like all foods, if they’re prepared properly, it makes them more delicious says the Seed Guy!
