I love red clover. Trifolium Pratensis.

One of my favorite things to do in summer

is to sort of float around the acreage

collecting fat purple blossoms to dry for tea.

 

I still have a whole bag from last year.

But for some reason I never really feel

like clover tea. I always end up with Shipibo

or Rooibos.

 

Then I read a recommendation from James Duke,

to grind it up and stick it into soup.

I bought a separate coffee grinder for seeds, nuts,

and other things. It ground up clover too.

I added some to the soup just before serving.

Worked great! Apparently it is rich in calcium,

as well as all the other goodies....

Ien,

 

I love red clover too but my horse Danny makes sure that he gets it

all before I even get a chance to pick one fat blossom! LOL
