Product Description

Product Description

Raw Edible Wild Plants contains information on over 90 wild plants that are commonly found in the British Isles and which can be eaten as part of the raw food diet. Many of these plants can be found in other areas of the world too, including much of Europe and parts of North America. It explains why we should be eating wild plants, which parts of these plants can be safely eaten raw and guidelines on foraging.

Raw wild plants are unadulterated, unprocessed and unpackaged. They are locally grown and in season. Unlike today's modern hybrids, which are unable to grow without a great deal of help and persuasion, wild plants naturally thrive in their local environment.

Britain is heavily dependent on imported food. In the event of a crisis and our foods supplies are cut off, these are the plants we will need to turn to for food. Knowing what local plant foods are safe to eat ahead of a tragedy could really make a difference. Knowing which plants can be eaten raw will increase our chances of survival, particularly if fuel supplies are low or non-existent, and we have no means of cooking.

Raw wild plants are high in nutrition. They provide us with beneficial nutrients that are lacking in today's fast growing, highly processed and over cooked food. These plants are organically grown and completely natural. They are also completely free so are ideal for those on a low income or tight budget. Wild plants are the ultimate sustainable survival food but suitable for every day use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little book 19 Dec 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you are new to eating wild plants you will learn a lot from this book and you will be able to start foraging straight away all year round. If you have been eating wild for some time you will still learn a lot, believe me! You may need to use it in conjunction with a plant identification book, which you can easily do via the plants' scientific names. This little book is all you need for an overview of the subject and there's a good list of resources to help you delve deeper. There's a sensible and inspiring introduction too. I actually think this little book goes a long way towards supplanting the classic 'Food for Free', especially for those who are interested in raw or 'living' foods. It's also fantastic value of course!
n.b. it doesn't include mushrooms for which a bigger book would be needed, and preferably an experienced companion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rumbling Tummy? 19 Oct 2012
By M. Taplin VINE™ VOICE
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
After reading this book I have no great wish to rush out into the wilderness grabbing greens on the run and going veggie. However I do think it stimulates the imagination. I found wild cabbage and onions growing by the beach in one Scottish location and could easily conjure up a re-visit with a beach caster, a windbreak, a spirit stove and a pack of tinnies. Less basic than the author intended perhaps, but right up my street. A good book; a good read.
