Foraged Stellaria and Honey Doughnuts! 🍩🌿Decorated with the first violets and speedwell flowers of the season. You’ll also spot stellaria, yarrow, deadnettle, and bittercress greens. The recipe is below in the comments ⬇️ 
Stellaria media - or more commonly know as “Chickweed” is a staple early spring forgeable here is central Appalachia. It grows in cooler weather and loves damp soil. It has a delicate flavor that many will agree is reminiscent of corn silk. It’s been used traditionally for many purpose such as: 
Digestive and intestinal support - it’s high in fiber and may assist in the absorption of other nutrients. 
Anti-inflammatory and pain reliever
Cooling treatment for skin ailments - think burns, insect bites, rashes. It has also traditionally been used to draw out splinters. 
Kidney support - traditionally the tea is used for its diuretic properties. 
Today I am using it in baking for its emotional support. In the deep parts of winter it is good for me to get out and connect with nature. Seeing the first plants start to come up personally has such an energizing and uplifting effect . Using them in a baked good is even more blissful! 
Please be mindful when foraging. Never EVER consume anything you are not 100% sure of it’s identification and edibility.
