I think it's even more disturbing that he is held for that. Since when is it against the law, any law, not to have fingerprints?
Yes, RawTastic!, usually I go to a meadow for the dandelion, and the nettles are literally all over the place, they thrive almost everywhere. I only use them for smoothies, but if they are young and didn't fully develop their stinging properties, ...
yayyy to foraging ~~~
Sounds great! Did you find them in a meadow, in the shade, etc.? I always wonder what the best places to look are. I've heard of nettles in salad dressing or soup. Are you eating them straight?
This is horrible and dangerous!
Hani, you're right, it's always so easy to believe the belief as long as it's presented as THE THING :-))
I found that for me, doing my own research is always the best thing to do. There's so much information out there, and lots of people believe ...
Today I went foraging in the Niendorfer Gehege, a forest area in my hometown. I first thought that it might be too early in the year for most edible wild plants I love, but I managed to find a whole bunch of dandelion, sorrel and young nettles (th...

Yay! First wild salad of the year!
Today I went foraging in the Niendorfer Gehege, a forest area in my hometown. I first thought that it might be too early in the year for most edible wild plants I love, but I managed to find a whole bunch of dandelion, sorrel and young nettles (these are for the green smoothie I'm planning on having tomorrow morning).
At home I combined the dandelion and sorrel with curled lettuce, avo, basil leaves, tasty cherry tomatoes and scallion, and whipped up a nice dressing of fresh lime juice, olive o… Continue

nasty smoothie no more
thanks for the nice comments, you guys! i figured out that the nastyness did come from the radish sprouts. should have left out the cilantro, too (it doesn't go too well with dandelion).
so today, i made a huge almond mylk based smoothie with cinnamon, kiwi, banana, a truckload of my beloved parsley, maca, and lemons. it was superb and still keeps me satisfied and energetic 5 hours after enjoying it.
what's your favourite green drink?

that smoothie was just nasty!
aaargh!
my morning smoothie came out simply disgusting today. must have been the radish sprouts, they didn't combine well with the rest of the ingredients. they were: dandelion, cilantro, ginger, pomelo, oj, lemon juice, 2 peas, a banana, maca, berberitzen berries.
i downed only half of it, it was just nasty. these sprouts are strictly for salads!

Foraging, foraging!
I wanted to go foraging wild greens forever, but did not know enough about poisonous "doppelganger" plants in my region, and so I never went – until TODAY! Yay! I'm soooo happy!
Yesterday I came across the website of an herbalist who offers foraging workshops on weekends, and I booked her for today and tomorrow. I absolutely LOVED it today! And I brought home a basket full of raw wild goodies: dandelion leaves and flowers, young linden leafs, nettles, ale-hoof, garlic mustard, and many… Continue

I was doing Hatha Yoga, that involves asanas, prayanama, bandha and mudras.
Apart from yoga we were taught Anatomy, Psychology, Philosophy etc., so that the students of this course could teach yoga and take it as a profession later.
