Japanese knotweed
🗓 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.
Huge patch of Japanese knot weed. About 10 yards off the road. I'm not sure if it is on private or public land. Ask before picking. It should a quick conversation: "Hey, I would like to pick your super invasive and difficult to eradicate Japanese knotweed. Do you mind? It tastes like rhubarb!"
