Next up in our Wilder Larder series are Oak leaves. The cherished Oak is a treasured tree of the British countryside, woven into our history as a symbol of strength. Just one Oak tree can live up to 1000 years and be home to over 2300 species – excluding fungi and bacteria.
What makes the Oak tree even more magnificent is it’s nutrient dense and delicious leaves, when picked in spring, can be brewed into a tea or eaten in a salad. Offering tasty, free and nutritious wild food.
