Diego Bonetto is an environmental educator who teaches the skill of foraging; finding food growing wild. He grew up on a farm in northern Italy and his job was to collect weeds for the family to eat. One of the first plants he learnt was the Dandelion. They would collect it in spring to flush out the winter starchy food from your system. βItβs bitter!β he says. βSome people may find it a bit challenging so mix it up with other greens.β Diego says there isnβt a word for weeds in Italian that has the same negative connotations.
