                                Introduced to North America in the 1800s as an edible herb, invasive garlic mustard (*Alliaria petiolata*) can be safely consumed if properly identified and prepared. Using this prolific wild edible for food is a practical strategy that not only adds a peppery, garlicky flavor to your meals but also aids in the control of its widespread growth.
