Sergei has continued to collect new information about wild edibles, researching their possible uses. He summed up his latest findings in the following four videos, each about 11 minutes long. By watching this video I discovered at least two plants that I myself didn't know were edible. I'm excited to use them in the future.

Enjoy these highly informative videos.

 You can also learn about wild edibles with Sergie's Iphone app. To purchase the app for $2.99 go here.

Valya Boutenko demonstrates how you can avoid foamy, unpalatable green smoothies by knowing the difference between soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. Adding fruits that are rich in soluble fiber will transform the texture of a green smoothie into something creamy and delicious.

Dear Friends,

This is the peak of the summer and one of best time for picking of the wild edibles growing around us. One of the most prevalent edibles (and perhaps the most under-appreciated) is the dandelion.

In previous video Sergei discussed how you can use dandelion greens in smoothies, salads, and other dishes to reap all of their nutritional goodness.

And what about the flowers? Dandelion flowers are extremely nutritious; they are an excellent source of vitamin D, similar to their greens. In addition, dandelion flowers help detoxify our inner organs, and alkalize the body. The following  instructional and entertaining video demonstrates three fun ways to eat dandelion flowers.  

So, find dandelions that have not been sprayed, harvest and enjoy healthful and delicious meal!

Love, Victoria and Sergei Boutenko
