Japanese knotweed
📍 1655 E 8th Ave, Vancouver, BC V5N 1T6, Canada
🗓 Season: March · April · May
🔍 When is it ripe?
Harvest young red-tinged shoots in early spring when under 30 cm tall. Tastes like rhubarb — very tart; high in oxalic acid. Cook before eating. Excellent for crumbles and jam. Highly invasive — harvesting actively helps control it.
Edible invasive weed. Can be found on edges of the community garden. Use extreme caution not to spread this weed more, can regrow from small discarded pieces. Need to cook waste before composting? Edible with a yummy rhubarb citrusy flavour.
