- This video shows a young and good looking example of wild lettuce, Lactuca serriola, a common edible and medicinal plant.
It grows all over the world, including all states and territories of Australia.
see the article on my website for further information and recipes.
This plant is a respected food and is extensively used as pain relief and to help with sleeping disorders.
Can tincture be placed topically
Thought that’s Lactuca Virosa ( Opium lettuce) because of the broad leaf and not Prickly lettuce, (Lactuca serriola)
no. its I rosette phase/ that's why the leaves look like this right now..
virosa is a biiit different. not by much, and when its bigger the leaves aren't as jagged.
all produce lacticarium
use spairlingly
Lactuca Virosa :) Serriola is very different
Lactuca Virosa.
Wild lettuce is POSSIBLY SAFE for most people in small amounts.
Wild lettuce is LIKELY UNSAFE when eaten in large amounts or when the wild lettuce has been harvested too early. This can cause sweating, fast heartbeat, pupil dilation, dizziness, ringing in the ears, vision changes, sedation, breathing difficulty, and death.
Applying wild lettuce directly to the skin can cause irritation. Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Not enough is known about the use of wild lettuce during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.
Enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, BPH): Don't use wild lettuce if you have this condition. It contains a chemical that can harm people who have trouble urinating.
Allergy to ragweed and related plants: Wild lettuce may cause an allergic reaction in people who are sensitive to the Asteraceae/Compositae family. Members of this family include ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds, daisies, and many others. If you have allergies, be sure to check with your healthcare provider before taking wild lettuce.
Narrow-angle glaucoma: Don't use wild lettuce if you have this eye condition. It contains a chemical that might make glaucoma worse.
I'm curious how one could prepare this to eat, thanks.

You shouldn't eat much of it, it's toxic. As medicine it's ok
@@matthewjdouglas6471 Australia, but i hsve foraged this in London England myself

On the side of the roads.
In the city, On the sidewalks, and in open lots.
Often growing against the walls of buildings!
These leaves look nothing like the other leaves other videos
Cause very bad memory loss
It is easy and fun to forage.. once you learn to recognize it, you'll start seeing it in the open lots growing among the weeds... I live in a city, and I'm finding it as I drive around ... Before people mow down the weeds to make the lots look neat... 🥴
Where we can find this in wild ?
It grows everywhere I don't know if the month is the same every where but where I live you can find it around June and July usually on the side of the road it's really common
It grows on the side of the road.. in the cracks of the sidewalks.. it climbs up the walls of buildings. In the city, empty abandoned lots. Grows with the weeds...
But Not usually in the deeper/denser woodsy vegetation.
Once you start finding it and recognizing it, you will start seeing it all over the place. Even in the city!
I live in North Eastern USA, Southern Massachusetts.
Just recently, this spring is when I began foraging for it!!
It looks out of focus
Nope lol
Nature's toilet paper.
Lol this guy has no idea what he has
