Today I drew this picture of ground elder, one of my favorite herbs. I want to spread awareness about weeds that are actually a great food source. A lot of people don't like ground elder for if you have him in your garden it is really hard to get rid of him. But why should you?

Giersch(thats the German name of Ground Elder) is very rich in vitamin C and contains many minerals. When you eat Ground Elder raw the taste reminds you of a mixture of parsley and mango. This is why I love to add him to every salad I eat.

You can also prepare Ground Elder as a spinach. It tastes pretty similar and since he grows almost everywhere this makes him an awesome free food source. If you love the taste of Ground Elder you can also make a lemonade with him. It is good if you press the leaves a bit before adding them in the bottle so the juice can get out of the leaves more easily. Ad some lemon and sparkling water, sugar if you like, and keep the mixture in the fridge for some hours.

There are some old names of Girsch in German that imply that he has been used to cure gout. He is also known to be helpful with rheuma and arthritis. He can clean the blood, help with cramps and detox your body. And he does it all for free!

Ich liebe Giersch!

Thank you for the information you give us about the vegetables of the elders of the land, it is very useful about the explanations you give for the health of our body. It seems very tasty if sauteed with onions and some other ingredients. I hope you are always successful wherever you are and happy @yoganarchista😊

Thank you very much for your support and comment. I am thinking about making more drawings like this and informing other steemians about the healing properties of the weeds they might fight at home <3

Yes it is a very good notification for steemian friends, it's all about the healing properties of the weeds themselves. This is very useful to me about this that I have just heard from you about this plant. I hope you always give your art art, especially on plants. Because your art is always impressive @yoganarchista😊

Apparently this grass is very useful for the human body. Now I know they are very special. You also make them as beautiful paintings. Thank you for sharing information. Good luck always for you @yoganarchista.

Thanks for sharing about this great herb. I can consider adding it to my salad next time. I must say that using grey paper to draw this plant is really something unique that I have yet to see. The blending and contrast are very good. The use of white pen to highlight on the leaves was a great method too to add some details to the leaves.

nice pictures, this beautiful art, thank you for sharing @yoganarchista.😊

weed have such a good benefit for health if you use it in proper way, they are edible and nutrition too in different form.
