Finally, the foraging field guide you’ve been waiting for!
The most comprehensive field guide ever written to the edible wild plants of eastern North America. Written by North America’s leading authority on edible wild plants, who has eaten every species covered.
This book contains 1,700 clear color photos, 625 range maps, and shows 679 edible species (320 more than the Peterson Guide). It also has an innovative new system for identifying plants at their edible stage, with the most thorough and accurate descriptions available. These excellent descriptions can be used to verify the ID from any phone app before eating the plant. It also tells you which parts to eat, at what seasons, and helps you distinguish edibles from poisonous and confusing plants, with photos of 26 commonly mistaken species.
There is an illustrated glossary, foraging calendar arranged by habitat, and of course occasional smart-ass comments to keep you from getting board by the technical stuff.
The book is 6"x9"
736 pages
Weighs about 4 pounds (we'll know the exact weight in a couple of months).
