Broadleaf Plantain: The Common Lawn Plant Many People Overlook
Broadleaf plantain grows low to the ground in a rosette, with wide oval leaves and strong parallel veins. Young leaves can be eaten raw or cooked, while older leaves become tougher and more stringy.
It has also been traditionally used in simple poultices and herbal preparations. Harvest only from clean, unsprayed areas, away from roadsides, pets, and treated lawns.
