Yellow Dock Tea

Someimes referred to as "curled dock", because of its twisting 
leaves, Yellow Dock (Rumex crispus) is native to Europe and 
north Asia. Yellow Dock is found nearly worldwide and produces 
copius quantities of seed each fall making it almost impossible 
to eradicate. Early settlers and Indians utilized the entire 
Yellow Dock plant. 

       The seeds were pounded into meal 
for eating, while the roots were used for its health properties 
and as a deep yellow dye. The leaves were prepared and cooked 
like spinach, ornimentally displayed in flower arrangements and, 
depending on their maturity, could produce either a red, gold or 
dark green dye.
