It grows in compacted neglected soil such as unattended backyards, gravel driveways, sidewalk cracks and vacant lots. Pineapple weed is an annual herb that grows from June into November and when crushed gives off the fresh scent of pineapple. It tastes like someone poured a tiny bit of pineapple juice in your water….. not strong – just lightly. You can increase this flavor by using more freshly picked or dried Pineapple Weed in less water.

Foraging is a skill that takes a great deal of training and patience, but the reward is the satisfaction gained from being able to find the plants that have huge benefits to you and your family.
