The Forager's Guide to Wild Foods is probably the most important thing you can have by your side when you head out foraging. Whether you're an experienced forager who wants to double-check a plant identification or a complete beginner looking to discover edible plants in the wild, this book is designed to be your trusted field companion.
Beyond wild foods, you'll learn how generations before us relied on the natural world for both nourishment and wellness. Here's what you'll discover inside this foraging guide: 319 full-color pages featuring over 400 wild edible and medicinal plants. Detailed coverage of wild foods, medicinal plants, trees, shrubs, wildflowers, berries, nuts, lichens, and fungi commonly found throughout North America. 400 plant localization maps to help you identify where each plant grows. Expert plant identification guidelines with full-page photos and at least 3 color images for every plant. Easy-to-follow descriptions covering edible uses, medicinal applications, harvesting tips, and preparation methods. Delicious cooking recipes and traditional uses for hundreds of wild foods such as Dandelion Bread (page 60), Nannyberry Maple Butter (page 160), Rosehip BBQ Sauce (page 165), Hackberry Milk (page 183), and Buttermilk Fried Oysters (page 234). Hundreds of medicinal uses and natural remedy preparations using plants growing around you.

This book is, without a doubt, the ultimate resource for every home. You can use this guide to put food on your table when times get tough. The knowledge contained in these pages may become invaluable when access to fresh food is limited. Having this information at your fingertips now means you'll be prepared when you need it most.
Many foods sold today as "organic" cannot compare with the nutrient-rich foods that grow naturally in the wild. Wild foods grow without cultivation, genetic modification, pesticides, or herbicides. Some of the healthiest foods available are the ones you can harvest yourself.
This is free food growing all around you, waiting to be discovered.
For thousands of years, people passed down plant knowledge from one generation to the next. Today, much of that wisdom is disappearing.
If we don't preserve and practice this knowledge, it may be lost forever.
The Forager's Guide to Wild Foods helps keep this valuable tradition alive while giving you practical skills you can use right now.
