Edible Wild Plants Book Review - Is This The Best Overall Foraging Book for Beginners and more?

In this video I review Edible Wild Plants - Wild Foods from Dirt to Plate by John Kallas, PHD. If you are just beginning foraging, I think this might be the book to try! It cover a wide range of plants that can be found all over North America and Europe. If you are a beginner forager, I think this book can help you get started!

This is an excellent foraging book. In my opinion it could be the best overall foraging book out there. I think it would be a great book for a beginner forager and for more advanced foragers as well. It covers plants that can be found throughout North America and Europe. Some of the plants that are covered are wild spinach or lambsquarters, chickweed, mallow, purslane, curly dock, sheep sorrel, wood sorrel, field mustard, wintercress, garlic shephard, shephard's purse, dendelion, cat's ear, sow thistle, nipplewort and more.

This book covers the foraging process I think fairly well addressing things like when to forage for particular plants, the growth stages of wild edibles, what are the best parts of the plants to eat, how to forage including tools to use, and even how to prepare the different wild edibles you forage.

I don't know if there is such a thing as an overall foraging book that can be used in all regions, but I do think this book does a very good job of getting close, and it is a great book for a person who wants to learn about foraging and is a beginner in foraging.
