The weather has warmed up early this year, and I feel like the wild garlic is in season early. I found a bush the other day when I went for a walk and wanted to go pick some leaves for cooking. It's a specialty in this season in Germany as well as Spargel (white asparagus).
Yesterday, I had a chance to stretch my legs in the park and got some leaves. In consideration of the ecosystem and also because it is a public place, we must carefully picked only the leaves that I would use, not the roots.
Wild garlic is said to be similar to "lily of the valley", which is poisonous, so we need to be careful. Every year, whenever I go to pick wild garlic, my partner, who does not even touch the soil or cook, annoyingly asks me to be careful with lily of the valley. In fact, there have been deaths, so we need to be careful, but if the flowers are in bloom, we can just pick the leaves by following the stems of the flowers.
It was interesting that in Germany, the country of forests and gardening, kids are taught from early on not to mistake the two, and my daughter knew this already. She said she learned it when they went to visit a botanical garden.
Here are photos how wild garlic grows in the park I took walk. In some countries, it seems to be a delicacy, and there have been cases of people taking large amounts of it, which has caused problems.
They were competing with nettles. According to my daghter, nettles can be eaten raw, and once she tried to feed me nettle leaves. But they have so many thorns that I didn't have the courage to do so. I like nettle tea, though, and always have some on hand.
I walked around the park and enjoyed the view. I came to this park often with my daughter sleeping on her baby buggy. It was the most peaceful way for us to spend first months.
The park has the Germany's largest zoo attached to it, and before the grass gets taller, we can see the animals from outside without having to enter the zoo. It's called Zoo Fenster (zoo window), and I used to come here with my daughter to say hello to animals. Her favorite was ostriches.
German cookbooks have recipes for wild garlic and I look forward to exploring new recipes ๐
Have a nice week everyone!
