RE: Celebrating Healing Plants - Issue # 7 - Northern Bedstraw (Galium boreale)
This is a discovery for me. I forgot that pillows used to be filled with straws. I need to see what Australian plant can be used as a coffee substitute.
Another name they go by is Cleavers so you could look that up. They are in the Rubiaceae family which consists of flowering plants in the coffee, madder, or bedstraw family (cleavers is part of this family)
Then there is always dandelion root to use as a coffee substitute or chicory.
