In this field guide to foraging wild edible plants, Sergei Boutenko
(son of raw-food guru Victoria Boutenko) explores the health
benefits of wild-harvested food, explains how to safely identify
trailside weeds, herbs, fruits, and greens that grow worldwide, and
shares his delicious, nutrient-dense recipes. Sergei Boutenko has
been gathering wild plants since he was 13, when, early on in a
6-month hike from Mexico to Canada, he and his raw-food family ran
out of provisions and turned to foraging for survival in the wild.
Back in civilization, Boutenko was dismayed by the inferior quality
of store-bought food and industrial agriculture, and began to
regularly collect wild plants near his home and on his travels.
Now, in Wild Edibles, he shares knowledge gleaned from years of
live-food wildcrafting and thriving in harmony with nature. This
practical guide to plant foraging gives hikers, backpackers, raw
foodists, gardeners, chefs, foodies, DIYers, survivalists, and
off-the-grid enthusiasts the tools to identify, harvest, and
prepare wild edible plants. The book outlines basic rules for safe
wild-food foraging and discusses poisonous plants, plant
identification protocol, gathering etiquette, and conservation.
Boutenko explores in detail the many rewards of eating wild flora:
environmental protection, sustainability, saving money, economic
self-sufficiency, and healthy living. He draws on thoroughly
researched nutrition science to make a compelling case for the
health benefits of a diverse, local-food diet that includes wild
greens. The majority of the 60 edible plants described in this
field guide can be found worldwide, including common-growing trees.
Over 300 color photos make plant identification easy and safe. A
chapter containing 67 high-nutrient vegan recipes-including green
smoothies, salads and salad dressings, spreads and crackers, main
courses, juices, and sweets-provides inspiration to join Sergei on
the trail to radiant healt
