🌿👑 Day 2 in the Plant Kingdom — Daylilies
Thought I’d do something different again today…
Back in the plant kingdom 😂
Today’s plant: Daylilies
Most people see these and think they’re just flowers…
Whole time, they’re actually food.
The buds (before they bloom) are edible and taste kind of like asparagus or green beans. You can sauté them, throw them in a stir fry, or just try them simple.
They’ve got some solid benefits too—vitamins A and C, a bit of iron, fiber… and they’ve even been used traditionally to help with calming the mind.
Now here’s the part you don’t skip:
Not all lilies are the same.
Daylilies (the ones you can eat) are different from true lilies, and some of those are toxic. Especially if you’ve got cats around—they’re extremely sensitive to them.
Easiest way to stay safe:
If you’re not 100% sure what it is, don’t eat it.
Just wanted to bring something different today…
The earth really be growing food all around us and most of us just walking past it.
