I plan on doing some more research on that and giving them a try. Great to know because it has taken over my woods and is here to stay so I should at least make use of them more often. I use the leaves in salads. Sometimes I will cut the leaves up and cook it up with other foods. Thank you for another informative post. I did not know garlic mustard roots were also edible.

I didn't know what it was until I came across this article. Last week my wife and I cleared out a garbage bag full of it along our fence line (again, not having any idea what it was). It was invasive last year as well. Pulling it was easy (for the most part). We are going to take some over to a botanist to confirm it is in fact garlic mustard, and will end up cooking it up one way or another in the near future.

It's extremely invasive here in Minnesota, just as bad as buckthorn. I live in a wooded area, and I think those are the two most populous plants. Several neighbors are trying to keep it in check, but it spreads so very quickly that it's difficult to do. And once it's there, it shades out all the native woodland flowers. I just wish we could eat it as fast as it grows! Garlic mustard is taking over our neighborhood. It’s extremely invasive here in Minnesota, just as bad as buckthorn.
