Hey if this is the wrong forum, please feel free to re-direct. I'm wondering if anyone here knows of edible vegetation that grows in the wild. I live on the west coast of Canada. My coworker often brings in nettles, st. john's wart, dandy lions etc. for soups and things. It's actually all right. Does anyone else know of edible vegetation that's free for the picking?
you got the right form! can't belive no one has posted anything yet. lots and lots of edible plants out there. do a google search on the subject and you'll see what i mean! but by all means get some feild guides to edible plants and start studying. don't eat anything till you are sure what you got! and even then just a small portion. there are people that are allergic to corn, if you know what i mean! happy munching!
you can eat some of the moss out there...check a book or an internet source to see which kinds, some of it is so good you can also eat all seaweed.
3 qts dandelion flowers, pulled from open flower clusters, 1 lb golden raisins, 1 gal water, 3 lbs granulated sugar, 2 lemons, 1 navel orange, Champagne yeast, Yeast nutrient. Make sure you pick your dandelions well away from roadways or other chemically treated areas, and wash them before using. Pick the biggest, most fully-open flower clusters, as they are easier to pull the individual flowers from. Pluck the yellow flowers from the green parts. (You don't want the green parts, but it's hard to separate them, so don't stress if a few get in.) If you don't get enough dandelions flowers in one day of plucking, freeze the ones you have in a plastic container. You can keep plucking and freezeing until you have enough for wine-making day.
If you can find any japanese knotwood, the roots are REALLY good for you! see what kind of berries grow out there...
