mud Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 God I missed you guys!Here's a little one of my latest passions.You can easily turn edible plant leaves into a kickass protein supplement/cheese/superfood.I nearly shat myself with excitement when I came across this. In practice, its even more wonderful. Than shatting.The potential is pretty mind boggling.I've so far made a nettle,and wild fennel'curd',which is up to 60% vegan protein.I have some Amaranthus Gangeticus on its way also. Apparently about 60% protein by dry weight as it is. And some tricolour, which is said to yield within 3 weeks!At the moment I have a fridge full of wild nettle. It feels like i'm doing my river patches a good turn. Cutting them back ready for the fresh new spring growth. As it is, the overly fibrous winter growth has produced a delicious green protein curd so I cant wait to try this with anything and everything as spring sets in.http://www.plantfoods.org/demos/leafu/index.html 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogfrog Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Omg. Amazing. I have surplus nettle. Definately gonna try this. Thank you for sharing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti101 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I'm a bit mind-blown. How did I not know about this?Don't have nettles. But I reckon there are lots of other plants this could possibly work with.Chickweed? Fat Hen? What kinds of phyto-nutrients are either concentrated or lost in this process?
