Chickweed (Stellaria media)

Known as the “cooling herb,” Chickweed (Stellaria media) is a delicate, fast-growing plant that thrives in the cool seasons of spring and fall — disappearing in the heat of summer. Long regarded as both a wild edible and a traditional botanical, chickweed has a rich history in European and American folk herbalism stretching back centuries.

As a wild edible, chickweed has been used as a nutritious salad green, valued for its mild flavor and impressive nutritional profile. It is a natural source of fiber, essential fatty acids, GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), and a variety of minerals and vitamins including A, B complex, and C.

In traditional herbal practice, chickweed has long been a popular ingredient in salves and topical preparations, where its cooling, soothing character makes it a beloved choice among herbalists for external use.

At Glenbrook Farms, we offer chickweed in both Cut & Sifted and Powder forms for use in teas, tinctures, salves, and herbal formulations.

Available in 4 oz, 8 oz, and 16 oz sizes in both Cut & Sifted and Powder.
