These 10 Invasive Plant Species Are Surprisingly Delicious (North America)

If any of these weeds are proving a nuisance in your farm or garden, the solution might just be simpler than you think

By Marie Viljoen

I have yet to find a large flock. But at least enough for one dish tonight. I'm also in love with Trader Joe's refrigerator section ravioli.
