I'm of Ngati Porou descent - an indigenous New Zealander. Since time immemorial this plant which there are many varieties, has been eaten with protein and carbohydrates as a main course. This free growing vegetable is a simple source of essential minerals and active health properties that aid digestion and the regeneration of organs and brain functioning (happiness filled) Sour thistle is a primary ingredient in the national dish of the Maori race and culture. A "Boil-up." In one big pot of water, add; fat wild pork, puha/sour thistle with kumara/sweet potatoes, riwai/potatoes, kamokamo/round marrow and doughboys. Excellent during the cooler seasons. What a Rush!
Prickly Puha. Look up Puha Boil Up on RUclips and you will find this Maori guy from there who has an entire channel dedicated to foraging for Puha and boiling it with various things, going back like years, I love that guy. I do the same thing in California and I have identified at least 8 varieties of sonchus asper with different color and leaf shapes and spininess.
I have this growing out of the crack in the sidewalk by my garage. I was wondering what it was, I turn on YT and it is randomly suggested to me. Interesting how that sort of thing always happens.
In spring when the leaves are tender you can eat them. I have mostly the not spiny kind, throw some leaves into my salads. I think you can steam the leaves, I don't care much for the spines😊

I have identified at least 8 varieties of this plant in California with different leaf shapes and colors and different amounts of spines, some might be crosses with sonchus arvensis or oleraceus. Where do you live where you film this stuff? I am in California and I see most of these plants, but I also see the same ones in videos from New Zealand.
Sow-thistle has four times more antioxidant compounds than red wine and twelve times more antioxidants than black tea. It is rich in essential fatty acids and minerals and nutrients like zinc, manganese, copper, iron, calcium and fibre.
We have trouble with acid rain here in north east. It makes weeds inedible. I was told to add agricultural lime around plants to remove acid. Is this true?

I also looked at a tall dandelion type flower in the yard today and I got a "false dandelion" video recommended to me almost immediately.
Nice video! Thanks! The sow thistles here are only just starting to take shape now. Everything seems a little slow this year.
Your presentation held my attention and didn't let go.
Glad to hear it!
As usual, you have the absolute best identification videos on the entire RUclips.
Thank you does it have any medicinal value
I'd like to know that as well
I believe it does.

I've never seen or heard of this before. What are it's uses other than for dart guns?
The sap is used to get rid of skin cancer lumps and warts. My dads generation has been using this in Australia since forever
The less sharp-fringed ones are the Perennial Sow Thistle, Sonchus Arvensis which is the close sibling to Sonchus Asper.
Great video 👍
Good video , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Thank you 😊

Ok...so now that you told us what it is...what do you do with it???
Can be eaten young, also used to remove warts and shrink skin cancer lumps

It looks like golden rod
Waterspirit is correct. Its Canada Goldenrod.
@@waterspirit2254 Thank you!
@@TrilliumWildEdibles Those are all over here too, and a kind that looks just like it but much shorter and with very orange flowers.

Should be because that reduces the soil acidity
THANKU GOD BLESS YOU
but, is the plant edible?
It is, it is a wild edible channel darling. :)
I have mostly the not spiny kind, good to eat.
google!
