About this product

Product Information

Imagine what you could do with eighteen delicious new greens in your dining arsenal including purslane, chickweed, curly dock, wild spinach, sorrel, and wild mustard. John Kallas makes it fun and easy to learn about foods you've unknowingly passed by all your life. Through gorgeous photographs, playful, but authoritative text, and ground-breaking design he gives you the knowledge and confidence to finally begin eating and enjoying edible wild plants. Edible Wild Plants divides plants into four flavor categories -- foundation, tart, pungent, and bitter. Categorizing by flavor helps readers use these greens in pleasing and predictable ways. According to the author, combining elements from these different categories makes the best salads.

A New Foraging Favorite
I have several books related to wild edibles, and foraging. I'm really impressed with this book. The author limits the plants he covers to some of the more common plants found in most areas of the states. He does so in order to go into more detail on each one, rather than just giving a brief summary, with one or two pictures of the plant. He does so because each plant looks different at different points of it's life cycle. The author does a great job covering each different stage. I'm confident that after reading, and studying this book, that I will be able to easily identify the different plants covered in this book.I have several books related to wild edibles, and foraging.

Great info- grab your magnifying glass.
This book has wonderful information in it. That being said; the print is tiny( font size 8 or 9) and difficult to read. There is really no reason for this as there is lots of 'white space' on most pages. On the pages containing extra information in the white margins, the font was even smaller. I got very frustrated trying to read this book. The pictures are helpful as they show different stages of the plants growth and appearance. After reading this book I also purchased E. Gibbons "Stalking the Wild Asparagus", that was referenced so many times.This book has wonderful information in it. That being said; the print is tiny( font size 8 or 9) and difficult to read.

Good but very common weeds described.
It is a good book. Great description of plants but not that many of them described and they are very common and basic. No trees and their bark included. I was hoping to learn about something different than chickweed, mallow, purslane, curly doc, field mustard or wintercress. They are all very common and if you know the common weeds this book is not a good material to expand your knowledge but it is great for the beginners.It is a good book.

Worthwhile book for finding nutrition in your weedy yard
GREAT book for those of us who may not forage beyond our own backyards. So many weeds in my yard and garden are actually edible and much more nutritious than the veggies I grow on purpose. I bought a book on edible weeds before this one, but I was overwhelmed with the info, and many of the plants were not ones I encounter in my yard. I am a mom of twin preschoolers, so I don't have time (now) for foraging beyond my own yard. One of the negative reviews of this book inspired me to buy it, because the person who did not favor this book said the title should have been Edible Wild Greens, because the author limits what he covers. Well, that is fine for me! So if you wonder if there might some nutrition in your own backyard or garden weeds, get this book. It is so easy to read and follow, ...

I read about weeds in some online health sites, and I was impressed to see that weeds have many more minerals, and vitamins and sub-nutrients (things like essential fatty acids, etc.) because weeds must survive under harsh conditions and thus they can take in many ore nutrients than plants that are babied in gardens and slathered with fertilizer. Not only do I recommend this book, but I have already purchased a second copy, which I gave as a gift to my neighbor.
