Eat the Weeds: A Forager’s Guide to Identifying and Harvesting 274 Wild Foods
by Deane Jordan Author
Eating weeds is something that can appeal to different groups of people: survivalists, vegans, those attempting to lower their food bills, intentional foragers and gardeners or people looking to supplement something particular in their diet. This book contains over 200 plants considered to be "weeds" that are edible and profiles them based on nutritional value, valuable to those attempting to add a particular vitamin or mineral to their diet. There are color photographs within the identification guide and table to help you recognize the plants in question. It will also advise you on a plant's safety: sometimes a plant is only partially safe to eat and this book will help the forager discern what is and isn't safe to consume. The author is known for their website with the same name as the book -- Eat the Weeds.
