    Thank you so much for this! My kids immediately went in our yard and picked the pink flowers from the sensitive plant and sauteed them in butter and salt. That might detract a bit from the nutritional value but they thought they were delicious! They also picked guinea grass seeds but weren't quite as impressed with those. Unfortunately or fortunately those are the only edible weeds we have in our yard presently. We have lots of other ones though! I am enjoying your other videos, too! Hoping we can create a tropical food forest in the back yard at some point. We do have one pineapple that just appeared something in the middle (yay!) and the lilikoi just started attaching itself to the trellis! So excited! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

      It's just the appearance.
      In Indonesia we also extract the juice of ripe noni (pinch your nose while processing), mix with the juice of turmeric, add honey. The mixture is also to regulate HBP and blood sugar. Never mind the honey it is good sugar.

    Hila hila is called moriviví here and it's a native plant. No idea the flowers were edible. Thanks for the info!
    Hono Hono is called cohitre here and it is also native to the island. I love it in salads along with what we call here prenetaria (Peperomia Pellucida) which is another "weed" that grows around here and Malabar spinach. With a bit of salt and a spritz of lemon *chef kiss* is a delicious salad!
    I had no idea purslane was edible or what was its name. I was wondering the other day because it is a tiny succulent or at least I looks like it belongs in the succulent family? It grows here like crazy, but I'm not sure if it's native.
    Thanks for letting us know what is edible in the tropics. Look forward to more of these videos!
    For reference, I live in Puerto Rico.

We have one of our homes going on the market and with the proceeds I was thinking of picking up a 20 acre lot in Kopua and start a bamboo farm for building materials. You inspired me to consider bamboo more. Thank you
