Eskimen herb is a name used for a wild edible leafy plant, but local names can refer to different plants. For safe use, rely on a knowledgeable local identification rather than the name alone.
Do not identify Eskimen herb from a photo or common name alone, since regional names and look-alike wild plants can vary. Ask an experienced local botanist or forager to confirm the exact plant before eating it.
Remove tough or damaged parts of Eskimen herb, then rinse the leaves repeatedly to remove grit. Drain them well and chop them if needed; washing just before cooking helps prevent the leaves from becoming limp in storage.
You can eat young, correctly identified Eskimen herb leaves raw after washing them thoroughly. If you cannot confirm exactly which plant you have, do not taste it raw—or use it at all.
Cook Eskimen herb briefly in a pan with a little oil until the leaves soften, or add it to a soup. Its cooking time varies with leaf size and tenderness, so check the texture as it cooks.
Keep unwashed Eskimen herb loosely wrapped in paper in the refrigerator, and remove any damaged leaves. Wash it shortly before use; trapped moisture can make leafy herbs spoil or wilt faster.
Yes. Briefly blanch Eskimen herb, cool it promptly, squeeze or drain off excess water, and freeze it in portions. Its texture may soften after thawing, so use frozen leaves in cooked dishes rather than salads.
The taste of Eskimen herb can be hard to describe consistently because the name may refer to different regional plants, and young leaves may differ from mature ones. Try a small cooked portion only after confirming its identity.
For a cooked recipe, spinach or chard can stand in for Eskimen herb because both soften into leafy dishes. They will not reproduce its exact flavor, so start with a similar amount and adjust to taste.
Yes, add chopped, washed Eskimen herb near the end of cooking so the leaves soften without becoming overly limp. Confirm the plant’s identity first, especially if it was gathered in the wild.

Eskimen herb is a locally gathered wild leafy green eaten as a vegetable in Turkey. Its name and customary uses can vary by region, so it is best understood as a seasonal green rather than a plant with one standard recipe. The leaves are typically picked over, washed thoroughly, chopped and cooked.
Its flavour is gently herbal, and cooking softens the leaves. In a home kitchen, use it like other wild greens: sauté it with onion, fold it into eggs, or add it to soup or savoury pastries. It pairs well with yoghurt or a squeeze of lemon. Eskimen herb is low in calories and provides fibre; 100 g contains 3.2 g. If you are not certain of a wild plant’s identity, buy it from a trusted source rather than gathering it yourself.
Very high
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
