Todays edible weed....Persicaria maculata

[Steve]

Here's another useful weed, it grows everywhere and is easy to identify. Note the dark spot on the leaf, the red colour of older shoots, and distinctive flower. I'm chewing some now, it tastes vaguely of apple peel, not very tasty at all, but apparently quite nutricious.
