What a Find

This is stone crop. It is a very special plant that will grow as soon as the frost is gone. It is from the family Crassulaceae and is also known as Sedum (That's right Genus).

There is an abundance of this plant in Asia but variations can be found all over the world. I wish the Americans would consider replacing Kentucky blue grace with Sedum. It is a beautiful green that covers the lawn. You don't throw away the grass clippings. Instead you eat them. They are delicious although a bit acidic make a good addition to a salad or soup.

Stone Crop Bibimbap

This is a Korean favorite. Just go outside your do and collect what is growing. You probably want to wash it with some vinegar and water. We found a snail wandering through ours crop. You know it is good stuff if those critters are eating it.

Then we chopped up some lettuce, cabbage and kim (seaweed paper). We added a fried egg for protein and some pepper paste and sesame oil for flavor.

Mother nature gives us the flavor from the greens and stone crop never stops coming. I will add some to my tofu dwenjang soup for flavor.

(Yummy)

Some people call it a weed. I call it lunch.

That is an interesting find :) I have never thought that plant is edible (saw it as a weed) but reading this change how I would look at it. Thank you for sharing.

Still be careful. Take a little bit first and see if it is good for you. It is is a little bitter but so crisp.

It is amazing what we classify as weeds. Personally I call weeds that flower, wildflowers!
The greens well many are edible and cheaper than going to the supermarket. Like you say, pick wash and bam on your plate in the blink of an eye.
Great plant life hack, thanks for sharing and have a great rest of your weekend :)

It's not a weed, it's useful :) You should try a plant called Lamb's Quarters too.

One person's weed is another person's treasure.

It's packed with calcium, so don't eat a huge load every day, just add it to a meal a couple of times a week. I was told that with so much calcium you can get rickets, so balance is vital.

True... I was also told with some Vitamin K2 and MK-7 the calcium can be absorbed in the right places. I will be careful not to overdoes. Honestly I haven't been able to spot this "Lamb's Quarters" in Korea.
