Natural vitamins from plants.

Poke salet has a lot of goodness. It is my personal favorite wild green.

One half cup of the greens will provide 35 calories (calories from fat 10), no cholesterol, dietary fiber 3g, and 90% of Vitamin A, 60% of Vitamin C, 8% calcium, and 6% of iron. (Percent Daily Values based on a 2,000 calorie diet.)
 
Garlic mustard,ramps,fiddle heads,wild violets,plantain, wild onions,nettles.Just a few of the spring goodies in this area.The garlic mustard and nettles seems to hold the best through the season and into fall and sometimes early winter and are some of my favorites. Any of the wild greens,gathered fresh, are full of great nutrients.--KV
 
Western Canada is covered in Rose Hips. They have a red berry about the size of a nickel or dime. They have a very high vitamin C content per volume. Some winters I gather a pail full and eat some throughout the winter. I haven't for a few years. They are dry, semi bitter and very seedy inside. They dry like little marbles and it's like chewing dried rat turds when munched.
