Miner's Lettuce / Indian Lettuce / Winter Purslane

    This is the 6th episode of 'Tales From The Wasteland' in it we cover Miner's Lettuce. It's official name is Claytonia perfoliata, but it's sometimes called indian lettuce or winter purslane. It got it's name from miners during the California gold rush who ate it to prevent scurvy. This is a fairly prevalent plant that grows in wetlands that contains vitamin C, so make it a part of your daily diet when it's in season.

Curly Dock / Rumex Crispus

    This is the 7th episode of 'Tales From The Wasteland' in it Dogmeat and I go over the curly dock. Curly dock is a crisp salad vegetable, but must be eaten in moderation. Cooking will allow you to eat much more of this plant and there is actually a number of recipes on the internet for it.

WARNING: Rumex contains tannic and oxalic acid. It must be eaten in moderation (part of a salad, not a salad of it) or cooked in several changes of water to remove these acids.
