Warrigal Greens (Tetragonia Tetragonioides)

Warrigal Greens are leafy plants that grow in Australia and have been eaten by Indigenous people for a very long time. The leaves must be cooked to be safe because they have something called oxalates that can be harmful if eaten raw. Cooked leaves taste like spinach and are full of vitamins. They can be added to soups, stews, or cooked on their own. Warrigal Greens can help with tummy problems and swelling. The leaves can also be made into a paste to help heal small cuts or insect bites.

Fun fact: They are also called New Zealand Spinach but really come from Australia.
