Oxalis as a salad crop
Posted: Mon Jan 20, 2014 7:57 pm
I noticed a photo of oxalis in an article on mini salads in February Kitchen Garden (page 44) mentioning that it is an unusual variety popular with chefs. Would there be a specific variety of this weed because it is rampant in our garden and a total nightmare to try and eradicate.
Has anybody ever eaten it as a salad plant? I've never heard of it being eaten and would happily get my own back on it by eating it if I thought it was flavourful. I have certainly never seen any seed packets of it and judging by its rampant behaviour I would discourage anybody from attempting to grow it in an open border.
It didn't exist in our garden (a new-buId house) when we first arrived here but somehow got accidentally introduced and is now impossible to remove,
