Hairy Bittercress
A lovely winter foraged herb is Bittercress (which isn't bitter at all)!
It has a mild, peppery cress flavour, a mild cross between cress and rocket, and is medicinal, as well as being delicious in kai.
It's considered a "weed", but actually belongs to the mustard family. You may see it called Hairy Bittercress, but the leaves are hairless, while the stems are covered in fine, white hairs.
Traditionally, it has been used to treat digestive problems, respiratory ailments, and skin conditions.
Simply pick the young leaves and add to salads, salsa, pestos, on top of quiches and pizzas.
Harvest from a spray-free area of course
