Pineapple weed is all over Minnesota. It’s almost like grass.

Pineapple weed grows most places here in Britain, apparently it escaped from Kew gardens in the 19th century. It grows best here on recently disturbed ground as well – I find it most often on agricultural land on footpaths and in between tractor tracks. I use the leaf as a salad and the buds make delicious little sweets if candied.
