Fruits and vegetable week: Knoblauchsrauke from Ritterhude:
Garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) german Knoblauchsrauke is a more or less a weed, growing everywhere. The genus name Alliaria, “resembling Allium”, refers to the garlic-like odour of the crushed foliage.
Lawrence Newcomb gives the species name Alliaria officinalis for this plant.
The leaves, flowers and fruit are edible as food for humans, and are best when young. They have a mild flavour of both garlic and mustard, and are used in salads and pesto. They were once used as medicine. In Europe as many as 69 species of insects and 7 species of fungi utilize Garlic Mustard as a food plant, including the larvae of some Lepidoptera species such as the Garden Carpet moth.
-This plant correctly known as Alliaria petiolata (syn: A, officinalis; Sisymbrium alliaria), is common in the Himalayas also, I remember it from Kashmir for its garlic like smell of crushed leaves, it is also known as   Kalatope id al220311: – I think Alliaria petiolata – This one is very distinct in broad cordate leaves (heart shaped) and onion like smell when you crush the leaves.
Location Kalatope, Chamba – Yes, it looks like Alliaria petiolata, Knoblauchrauke (German) or garlic mustard. We use the young leaves and flowers in place of garlic and it grows like a weed. But I saw the hairy stem in … Fotos. In Alliaria petiolata Fotos in Wiki and also in Fotos from my garden I did not see any hair. So I was not sure and did not answer.
You have reminded me of of my research days. It was very common in the forest where I worked for my Ph. D. .
