Date: October 15, 2009 08:27PM i was just wondering if anyone knows where to buy lambsquarters. I have several raw recipes that call for it, but I'd never heard of it nor seen it in grocery stores (at least, not that I know of). I have "regular" grocery stores around and also Wild Oats, Whole Foods and Trader Joe's nearby. Does anyone know if I can get lambsquarters at any of these places? Thanks! Re: lambsquarters?

or see if you can find someone who does local weed walks or wild foraging tours to help you identify and collect the all so common plant ...Jodi, the banana eating buddhist  Re: lambsquarters?

[calphotos.berkeley.edu] The white meal on the leaves is part of the plant and is good to eat. One of my favorite wild edibles. Re: lambsquarters?
