Winter is the season of hubiza - nutritious and delicious leaves of a wild vegetable, which can be picked in the field or found at the greengrocers


Winter is here, and the first thought that pops into your head is the opportunity to curl up at home and spend hours watching series or movies, make soup or comfort food and drink tea.

I actually recommend you to go out and enjoy nature even in the winter season, when it's rainy and cold.

Enjoy the views, the blossoms, the clean and cold air.

In winter, after the rain, huge mats of Hobiza leaves appear.

We go out to collect these round and nutritious green leaves, picking them after the rain in the backyard or in the open field.

It is recommended to pick the small and tender leaves.

You can also eat the fresh seeds contained in the pods, and you can also buy hubiza from the jades.

Hoviza leaves are rich in iron and minerals.

During the siege of Jerusalem in the War of Liberation, they played an important role in the diet of many.

You can eat them as they are, in a raw salad instead of lettuce or other fresh leaves.

In cooking, they should be treated like spinach or Swiss chard, and they can be replaced in any recipe.

The hubiza is not protected, but as with any harvest, you need to protect the plant.

Try not to pick all the leaves from that plant, but only a few of them, and move on to the next plant.

This way you will allow it to continue to exist for us in the years to come.
