In March, nature awakens. Sometimes a few days earlier, sometimes a few days later. The search for wild herbs in March is also uncertain. While some specimens already shine in their full size, others have to be looked for with a magnifying glass. But something can always be found.

Violets are not only beautiful to look at, they also taste delicious

field horsetail

It thrives at the edge of forests, in meadows and under damp hedges. Fresh sprouts can be steamed like vegetables or used raw in salads.

wild garlic

Spring can be heralded with a wild garlic pesto. But be careful when collecting. Lily of the valley and autumn crocus have similar leaves but are poisonous!

Hairy bittercress

The leaf roses of this herb taste slightly pungent. Together with mild cultured salads, it results in a spicy combination.

nettle

It is the all-rounder among wild herbs. It is worth looking out for the first shoots as early as March. For salad, smoothie, tea or as a vegetable.

daisy

Its leaves are edible. The flowers are edible and decorative at the same time. It can enrich salads or be cooked into a soup.

Ordinary lamb's lettuce

It appears in a different place each year. Anyone who discovers it can access it boldly. Its leaves are packed with vitamin C.

Groundman

The Gundermann is perennial and hardy. The wild herb contains bitter and tannins. It is described as aromatic.

dandelion

Everything from dandelion is edible! In March, however, the tender leaves are the hit. Children also like it in salads.

yarrow

Yarrow has an intense flavor. But a few small leaves are a well-dosed seasoning for every colorful salad.

violet

Go in search of the violet in March, because this is its month. The flowers bring purple accents and a fine fragrance to every salad. The leaves are also edible.

wood sorrel

Wood sorrel can be found in light forests and shady locations. Before flowering, the leaves are particularly tender and should be used raw.
