The Wildcraft series: Cobblers Pegs

Using fresh Cobblers pegs in juices and gels

This week we are exploring ways to use cobblers pegs in its fresh plant state, harvested directly from the garden and used straight away.

It can be used fresh in salads, sandwiches, soups and curries (see curry recipe in last weeks post, Quiet time and generational healing) as an incredible protein source. 100g of fresh leaves has a whopping 24g of protein (most plants have 1-6g) so it’s really off the charts.

The fresh plant juice (succus) is my favorite way to use this plant as an antibiotic. (see video below) I came to use it this way after reading Herbal Antibiotics by Stephen Harrod Buhner, which has one of the best write ups on b. pilosa I’ve read.
