The plants chosen represent every habitat and every region in North America, from the northern forests to the southwest deserts, from the largest cities to the wildest mountains.

Each of these traditional foods has a rich culinary and cultural historya wholesome past that is still relevant for our health and happiness today. The text is fully accessible to the novice, but remains botanically accurate and has the indepth information that seasoned foragers crave.Sharing the wisdom of a lifetime of daily foraging, the author answers all of the readers questions about each plant: How do I identify it? What might I confuse it with? Where can I find it? What part do I use, and when is it ready to be picked? How do I gather and prepare it? How can I be sure to harvest it responsibly? This discussion is accompanied by more than 350 color photos showing all the key features for identification, including potentially confusing species. Photos also depict the exact parts to use and the proper stage for collection. All of this is delivered in a familiar but authoritative tone, along with humorous anecdotes and insights from extensive reallife experience with each plant covered in the book.Incredible Wild Edibles contains an index, bibliography, illustrated glossary, range maps, and foraging calendar.
