Chickweed Tea

The common name for Chickweed (Stellaria media) comes from the 
old custom of using the seeds as bird feed. It is a mild herb 
that isvery nutritious, providing large amounts of protein and 
minerals. The fresh tops are delicious boiled or as greens in a 
salad. Native to Europe, but found throughout the temperate 
regions of North America, Chickweed is very common because it 
blooms as early as March and continues blooming throughout the 
summer. Its seeds are also easily scattered by the wind, thereby 
making it an eay herb to grow.

       Chickweed is also known 
as Starweed because of the starlike shape of its delicate white 
flowers. The flowers open on sunny days but may close on rainy 
or cloudy days.
