Preparing Lamb's Quarters

In Response To: Lamb's Quarters - more questions... (trish)
Hi Trish! It's used like spinach, but tastes a lot milder (less acid). I nibble it raw mostly! The dark green leaves taste milder to me than do the more silvery colored ones, but it may just be a coincidence. Some researchers in India, where is called Bathua, say it loses some of its ascorbic acid and beta-carotene when cooked too long, it is best fresh, refrigerated, briefly blanched or pressure cooked, to retain the vitamins. Susun Weed says she freezes what she doesn't use right away; I am guessing she blanches it first, but it doesn't say. I envy your supply! Joan
