How to Identify Wintercress, Creasy Greens, Yellow Rocket - Barbarea vulgaris

Описание: Hey guys in this video we take a look at a wild plant known as Wintercress. This plant has a few other common names and is very popular throughout the globe as a late winter/early spring wild edible. Wintercress has four petaled yellow colored flowers with alternating leaves that can take on various shapes. Today we'll see three types of leaves you will find on this plant. One type will be lance shaped with sharply toothed margins, another type will be more rounded in appearance with various small lobes running down the leaf stem. The final set will be more of a mixture of the first two with a more lance shaped top and the lobes running down the sides. The stem is very stiff and almost feels and looks square. It will have distinct grooves running vertically through the main stem. Wintercress can be foraged in late winter and early spring for the leaves which are best boiled but can be eaten raw in moderation. The flowerbuds can be boiled for a few minutes and served like you would broccoli. This is a very easy plant to identify and it grows all across the United States.
