"A reliable guide to common wild plants that can be foraged for food or home remedies"--
The National Geographic Backyard Guide to Edible Wild Plants is a vibrant handbook featuring 102 common wild plants that can be foraged for food and drink. It covers a wide range of plants, from sunflowers to wild grapes, with detailed identification, preparation tips, and recipes. The book is organized into seven sections based on the plant parts most useful for foraging (roots, leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds, shoots, and "backyard superstars"). Each plant is photographed, illustrated, and described for easy learning, making it accessible for novice foragers. Written by Mimi Prunella Hernandez and Heather Wood Buzzard, it combines botanical knowledge with creative culinary advice
