PINEAPPLE WEED SEEDS

Matricaria discoidea

An American chamomile, endemic to dry compacted soils from California to New York. Employed as a medicinal by Native Americans. Its documented use in cases of pediatric illness with fever is especially notable. Plants somewhat resemble a comically diminutive German Chamomile, though ray flowers are conspicuously absent. Disc flowers are very sweetly scented and flavored and are indeed reminiscent of pineapple. They make a very fine fruity tea, especially when fresh.

Should you somehow have the misfortune of living where this ubiquitous little weed does not, these seeds should be sprinkled along driveways, in sidewalk cracks, and upon any old uncontaminated soils that happen to be in your immediate vicinity.
