WILD GREENS PLENTIFUL
GOOD TO EAT

ColOrful, succulent green's are
cropping up in Delaware right
now, and in many parts of the
state, they are free for the pick
ing. Not only are they a tasty dish.
but they are also an economical
way to a better diet. says Miss NJ.
Gertrude Holloway, extension nu-
triton specialist for the Univer-
sity of Delaware.
But before going on the hunt
for green's. it is essential to know
how TO identify them. Among the
wild green's that grow throughout
Delaware are winter cress. water
cress. pokeweed and dandelion.
These plants become tough as they
mature. and only the tender young
leaves should be used.
After picking them plan to use
the wild greens quickly as they
wilt faster than other green's. Us
ing them raw as salad is the
best way to make the most of the
vitamins. Stronger r-tiavOred greens
may be parboiled for 2 or 3 min
utes. Then drain and cook like
other green's.
Dandelion green's are delicious
especially when fixed with a spe-
cial dressing. To do this. wash the
tender dandelion leaves and cut
them across in several places. Put
in bowl and season with salt and
onion juice or chopped onion. Cut
several strings of bacon into small
pieces and brown. When crisp, re-
move and add twice as much vine.
gar as fat. When this fat-vinegal
mixtures bOils up. pour it over
dandelions and stir. Use bacon foi
garnishing. Slices of hard cooked
eggs may be used.
/ Additional information on va,
rieties and identification of Della
ware green's and directions fol
cooking them may be obtained
from the Agricultural Extension
/ Service. Newark.
