Sam Thayer's Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants: of Eastern and Central North America

Sam Thayer's Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants: of Eastern and Central North America

By Samuel Thayer

Paperback


Eastern North America is one of the richest foraging landscapes in the world, with a wild abundance of fruits, berries, nuts, roots, tubers, shoots, flowers, seeds, and leafy greens. This guide is the key to unlocking the nutritional and culinary secrets of the natural bounty around us.
As the most comprehensive regional guide ever written, it contains detailed descriptions, range maps, and sharp color photos of 700 edible species as well as some of our most troublesome toxic plants. 
Sam Thayer’s Field Guide pioneers a novel identification system using everyday language accessible to beginning and advanced foragers alike, designed to stand alone or work with phone-based identification apps to confirm positive ID before a plant is eaten. Readers will also learn about the plant’s habitat, conservation, edible parts, seasons of harvest, and methods of preparation. Destined to become the new standard in foraging field guides.

Not only are we talking 700 varieties, but also, what you can reasonably do to consume them, like hickory nut milk or soup broth. The devil is in the details. Comments from the author even go so far as to describe something as edible, but not worth the time for the flavor in some cases. Thats what I’m here for!
