Edible Wild Plants

Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

This laminated brochure shows pictures and gives descriptions of the most common edible and poisonous plants and fruits in North America. I'll put it in with our camping supplies, as a handy reference.I didn't realize it was just an accordian-fold brochure when I ordered it, but looking again at the description, it does mention the size. Just not enough detail to tell me it wasn't a book. It actually says "paperback" and "on the back cover" in the description.Everyone who likes to eat greens and fruit from the outdoors should find this reference very useful and reassuring.

First off, this is by no means a fully unabridged guide to edible plants. For that you will need to get a Peterson Guide. However, if you do have a Peterson Guide at home, then read it and just carry this field guide as a reminder.The pictures are actually drawings, but they are very good.It even has a few common poisonous plants listed so you don't eat them by mistake.Lamination is nice, plus the size is really good for putting in a backpack or large fanny pack.Overall, get a good resource like Peterson for home. Study it well, but don't bring it with you. It takes up way too much room. Bring these small field guides for easy reference.

I live in the Northeast and was looking for a quick easy clear concise guide for edible plants that I could forage for in an SHTF.I am familiar with several of the species that were presented already, however I wanted to have a little more reassurance. This laminated guide has clear illustrations of edible seeds, fruits, nuts, roots, leaves, as well as medicinal uses, herbal uses and also lists all the poison by contact and poison by ingestion species you have to watch out for.Excellent resource if you are a prepper or survivalist and want to see what plants are most likely abundant in your local wilderness areas, back yard, down the street in the vacant lot or simply growing along the roadside.I was surprised to learn that several common tough woody species can be eaten as well, if prepared correctly.Check it out. Even simply to have as a conversation starter...it's worth the price.Enjoy dining.

This is a laminated tri fold guide with actual pictures of plants. It is very useful for the person who wants to know what plant is what. It is not a book and a field guide book would be an excellent supplement for this picture guide.

If you're looking for a quick, easy, general reference guide, this pamphlet could prove very useful for hiking, teaching a class, or group study. Due to my own oversight, I didn't realize it was a pamphlet rather than a book which was what I was really looking for. It doesn't list as many plants as I hoped, but it is handy to carry and colorful pictures are very helpful for identification.

The descriptions never mention that there's not a single real picture of the plants except for the cover page.Plant information seems adequate but without real pictures, I just can't trust it enough to recommend it to anyone.This alone is a deal breaker for me.

not inclusive enough, understanding limited space. Also, it didnt say anything about whether the stems, leaves or roots were the edible parts

Nice guide to edible plants. Wish there was a bit of how to on preparing them, but for a pocket guide it fits the bill.
