Edible Wild Plants

Edible Wild Plants focuses on growing, harvesting, and eating the different parts of selected wild greens. Most wild plants taste best in certain times of their growth, and most are very similar to one poisonous plant or another. The author is diligent in explaining differences and the photos show the best time of harvesting and how the plants compare to poisonous ones. He divides plants into the following categories: foundation greens, tart greens, pungent greens, and bitter greens. According to John, combining elements from these different categories make the best salads. But these greens also offer an organized way for you to understand the plants that will give you the know-how to use each one in a variety of dishes.
