#Walk2Forage Challenge : March

Everyone ready for another Challenge? Well, having not been successful with completing the challenge myself past two month, I’m adding an option to our monthly foraging challenge.

Yes, we still head out on various walks and seek out a particular plant, but besides foraging some for a culinary option, you can opt to forage a picture 📸🖼️of it for an arty option.

So here is our Monthly Active10 #Walk2Forage Walking Challenge for March:

And if you haven’t read our introduction to this monthly challenge, first head back to healthunlocked.com/active10...

We will wait here until you return ….

…. Right! All caught up?

March, our third #Walk2Forage is about a plant that I love picking right from its potted plant outside my house door, but I have never found it or sought it out in the wild!

It is also said to be one of the first green plants to appear in spring.

Richard Mabey describes it as “marvellously cool and sharp when raw, like young plum skins, but perhaps too acid for some palates”.

So, here is the info I gleaned from the two referenced books:

🌱 WILD SORREL: find in grassland and heathy places.

🌱 FLAVOUR: lemony, sour

🌱 HOW TO PICK: leaves

🌱 NUTRIENTS: vitamins A, B and C, potassium

🌱 HOW TO USE: use only in small amounts. Blend into soups for a lemony kick.

🥾🌱🥾🌱🥾🌱🥾🌱🥾🌱🥾🌱🥾

So happy walking and exploring those nature wonders! And don’t forget to take a picture and report back here!

For any walks, we can obviously also use our own Active10 app, or use any Steps app, or none at all. Steps are steps.

I have added the link to our key app below, but there are many more that can be used:

Active10 on iOS apps.apple.com/gb/app/nhs-a...

Active10 on Android play.google.com/store/apps/...
