Learn to identify, collect, and prepare wild edibles! Step into
your backyard, garden, or nearby green space, and harvest an
abundance of free, nutritious, and organic greens, tubers, and
fruits. Foraging in North America introduces you to 12 widely
accessible wild plants that can be gathered safely. Compared to
cultivated garden plants, these wild edibles require no care, are
hardier, and are amazing sources of nutrients. Throughout much of
our history, wild plants were the mainstay of human diets. They
were rich in micronutrients, vitamins, and minerals that nurtured
good health and strong immune systems. Foraging in North America is
a simple guide that introduces readers to those foods—including
such overlooked superfoods as dandelions, lambs quarters, and
nettles. Learn how to find and identify those wild edibles and
more, while avoiding toxic or inedible look-alikes. Expert forager
Tom Anderson also shares tips on best practices for collecting and
even some ideas on how to prepare your finds for the table, based
on 30 years of experience. The easy-to-use information is
accessible for everyone from beginners to experts. Foraging is also
an excellent family activity. It helps children to learn about the
natural world while simultaneously giving them the satisfaction of
contributing to the household. Bring this photo-illustrated quick
guide on your next outing. Its pocket-sized format makes it easy to
tuck into a daypack, camping cook kit, or glove compartment.
