Medicago Lupilina

This plant is from the legume family and has many names including black medic, black clover, hop clover, and trefoil. They thrive in nutrient poor soil and add nitrogen back to the soil. Pollinators love them. They are edible for both humans and animals.  The leaves have been stir fried, sauteed and added to stews. The seeds are ground to flour.
