FORAGING

Had such a lush Sunday last week learning more about my ongoing passion for foraging with @goforaging in Bristol. Who knew there was so much to be foraged from a beautiful local park?
____________
This is Sorrel. Good raw in salads and often served with fish as it has a beautiful sharp, tart, citrusy taste (due to its oxalic acid content also found in rhubarb, spinach and broccoli). This oxalic acid also makes this lovely little herb ever so slightly poisonous BUT you’d have to eat a lot for it to be an issue so don’t let that put you off! 
____________
Often compared to tasting the skin of Granny Smith apples (thanks my fellow forager @jblakeleyglover for that one!) It’s extremely high in vitamin A, C (so should be AMAZING for #skinheath) with good levels of calcium, iron and potassium so many,many numerous health benefits to incorporating this little beauty until your diet. Can be found in many woodlands or like last week perhaps in a park!
____________
I’d really recommend doing a course like this one and then buying some decent foraging books. Learning more about your local environment, connecting more with your food and generally getting out and about into nature - it totally floats my boat. ⛵️Feeling #inspired ....
