Food Glossary Entry For: Bedstraw

This is the description page for Bedstraw and includes a description as well as an image, if available and a selection of recipes from this site that relates to the cookery term: Bedstraw.

bedstraw

Bedstraw, Galium sp represents the members of a large genus of annual and perennial herbaceous plants in the family Rubiaceae (madder and coffee family) are variously known as bedstraw (most species), goosegrass (G. aparine), cleavers (G. tricornutum, G. aparine) and woodruff (G. odoratum). Anyone who's been walking in rough woodland will instantly recogize the bedstraw plant as the tendrils that clamber up banks and hedgerows. The stem of the plant is covered in barbs that hook onto clothing. The leaves are formed from five lobes and project laterally from the stems.

Interestingly the plant is edible and can be finely chopped for inclusion into salads. the next time you're grubbing this weed from your garden, why not try eating it rather than throwing it on your compost heap?
