How to Identify Garlic Mustard; Alliara petiolata - Wild Edibles

How to identify Garlic Mustard or Alliara petiolata. Garlic Mustard is one of the more popular wild edibles and it is also one of the healthiest. However you need to learn how to identify it properly before you can forage this wild edible. Thankfully Garlic Mustard is an extremely easy plant to identify, plus it does not have any toxic look a likes to my knowledge. The leaves of Garlic Mustard have three variations; one is rounded, usually shaped like a horse's foot. Another is slightly rounded but also sort of pointy in appearance. The third is a triangular shape with pointed teeth running along the margins of the leaf.
The flowers are white and characteristic of the Mustard family in that they have four petals. However the flowers of Garlic Mustard are white and not yellow, like a lot of Mustard plants are. This is a delectable spring wild edible that grows almost anywhere. Plus it also takes over Native wildflowers, so it is important to remove from the environment to protect the other wild edibles you love.
