Goldenrod Recipes - Here is a list of recipes on the blog made with the leaves and flowers of the Goldenrod plant (Solidago).
Hi Everyone, let's celebrate that common, bright yellow, spire-like flower stem that we see in the late Summer, early Fall/Autumn every year in abundance: Goldenrod (Solidago).
I included a list of goldenrod recipes at the end of this post, along with some information about the plant.
Each recipe post in the list has more information on Goldenrod and how it can be used in recipes.
*Make sure you have a positive ID on the goldenrod if you are new to the herb, I link to a field guide that I use for foraging wild edibles (I use "Northeast Foraging" by Leda Meredith. I also use the Picture This app for plant identification.
According to Wikipedia:
"Solidago, commonly called goldenrods, is a genus of about 100 to 120 species of flowering plants in the aster family, Asteraceae. Most are herbaceous perennial species found in open areas such as meadows, prairies, and savannas. Wikipedia
Family: Asteraceae
Scientific name: Solidago
Higher classification: Astereae
Rank: Genus
Subfamily: Asteroideae
Symbol of: Kentucky, Nebraska"

I eat the smaller younger leaves nearest to the flowers, compliments the cherry tomato flavor in my arugula, lemon verbena, french tarragon, spinach salads. I always use freshly cut produce, never dried.
