Japanese knotweed
📍 365 Concord Ave, Belmont, MA 02478, USA
🗓 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.
Large stands around the margins of the field. Does back up on railroad tracks, but have been there for at least 15 years.
