i do not know identify right now this green plant near here, but rhubarb here is usesfull for when a child are bad and angry, people say give a tea of this plant and the child change their situatión and be less angry, i think is because it is very dark and the child say well is not good idea stay angry because the adult people give me this ugly and dark plant.
well it is nice to know another endible plants for enjoy itWow it's great to know that those adventures with your father collecting plants now yield their fruits, and bring back great memories, and can collect the same plants as with the collection in previous years, the truth is that these people are the ones who they have taught most of what we know, thanks to the fact that their wisdom has been transmitted from generation to generation,
It hurts that these plants can not identify them I have already done a search for the scientific name and none of them sounds like having seen it in the local fields of El Salvador, and the riubarbo as I mentioned would love to get it because if it is very good to decrease anger in children and that they are less grumpy.
I do not know where I saw a recipe using riubarbo, it looked very, very good, it hurts that I lost it among so much information here.
The archichoke of Jerusalem was unfortunately not the one I thought it could be, the one we have locally, but we will continue looking for food.
Thank you for sharing so beautiful recipe, luck with the contest,
happy foraging

I had to laugh at the idea of a child getting rhubarb when they have been in trouble - that is sour! Too bad about the plant-that-is-not-Jerusalem-artichoke! It makes me feel so fortunate to have so many books and other resources for identifying plants. When I was younger, information was a lot more difficult to find about so many plants, too. I was fortunate to have people to teach me some plants, like this Curly Dock. You are that person for your community, I think -- and for us here on Steemit! But I have learned so much more from books over many years, too.
You might be interested in this resource about Curly Dock from the Invasive Species Specialist Group. They say this plant is in the top five most widely distributed plants in the world. And maps I have seen show it being all through Central America -- and it is on plant lists for Costa Rica and Panama. Here are some other names -- maybe you will recognize one:
acedera crespa (Spanish), acedera crispada (Spanish), romaza crespa (Spanish), gualtata (Spanish), vinagrillo (Spanish), acelgas (Spanish), lengua de caballo (Spanish), romaza (Spanish), lengua de vaca (Spanish)
Thank you very much for the descriptions and beautiful information I have for sure that if it is here I will find it and try it, maxime if it is an invasive plant it must exist here by our means.
The one that I recognize and that is familiar to me is the following:
Cow tongue sounds like I've heard it at some time
Thank you for your support a hug.
