Cockscomb Celosia - It is Food, Medicine and Heals Snake bites?!
Hey Y'all!
Today's video is all about my new favorite vegetable, Cockscomb!!!
I just put some flowers in a stew I made today and it was VERY good! ❤️ I highly recommend it.
Not only is it very tasty, it also has some great medicinal properties.
The following is a list of everything it can potentially help.
bloodshot eyes
cataracts
vision blurring
relieves poison from snake bites!?
headache
sores
ulcers
eye inflammation
skin eruption
painful menstruation
carpal tunnel syndrome
uterine bleeding
bloody stool
bleeding hemorrhoids
spitting up blood
Flowers help diarrhea
Leaves are used as dressings for boils and sores
Seeds are turned into a poultice for broken bones!
This plant is not toxic to cats, dogs, or horses, so you can safely grow it both indoors and outdoors.
Cockscomb has been said to be the world's most beautiful vegetable.
It's used all around the world, especially popular in Africa and India.
Every part of the plant is utilized and can be used just like spinach.
Stems, leaves and flowers are used in stews, soups, salads, sauteed with salt and pepper and thrown into smoothies.
Harvesting it just before it starts flowering is the best time to harvest (when you are cooking it, unless you want the flowers of course) so the stem and the leaves won't be stringy and chewy.
Thank you so much for watching today's video! ❤️

My wife and I have been growing cockscombs and had no idea that they could be used in so many ways. Thank you very much.

I'm so glad that this info was helpful to you. I was surprised too to learn about all of it!
Awesome!
An older Vietnamese couple gave me some cockscomb last year. After reading about it and finding out it edible I ate some leaves last week. They were good. Kind of a nutty flavor. Now I’m going to see how I can eat the flowers!

I tossed a few of our flowers in a pot of soup. My kids especially loved eating them! ☺️

There are multiple amaranth types. I`m growing giant Chinese amaranth, Love Lies Bleeding, and Red Garnet for their edible grains, and Red Leaf/Stripe as "spinach."
There are multiple amaranth types. I wonder if people eat the seed grains from this? I`m growing giant Chinese amaranth, Love Lies Bleeding, and Red Garnet for their edible grains, and Red Leaf/Stripe as "spinach."
I ate it even before I knew that it is edible. Lol
Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
