sustainable food

Excerpt:

We’ve spent seasons flipping through Edible Wild Plants: A North American Field Guide to Over 200 Natural Foods, and it’s quickly become our go-to guide for foraging—both in the field and in our dinner plans. The organization is intuitive, grouping plants by edibility and season, making it easier to identify what’s available when. Beyond basic foraging, we’ve discovered surprising uses, like one plant’s potential as a natural dye or another’s surprising role in sweetening drinks. The illustrations are spot-on, helping us confirm ID in the field, while the safety notes are a comforting touch. It’s more than a field guide; it’s our roadmap to uncovering wild flavors, from roadside snacks to gourmet meals. Who knew fireweed could star in a summer salad?
