What is Cleavers? Galium aparine, or cleavers, is a pretty weed that grows in areas all over Europe and North America. It is a growing weed with leaves that are twisted and stalks that are long and covered with bristles that hook onto other things and people. This makes it easy for it to grow and spread its seeds. Cleavers are related to coffee, and in rural Sweden, the mature seeds were roasted and used as a replacement for coffee. After a long winter, the young green tops were juiced and used as a cleansing spring drink. The juice was full of fresh nutrients and chlorophyll. The tops were also used to make skin washes and poultices to help skin that was dry or damaged. It was also used to treat bites from snakes and spiders, earaches, and to keep a healthy weight.
