Edible Wild Plants
Edible wild plants are naturally occurring plants that can be safely consumed by humans. These plants often grow in forests, fields, and even urban areas. Common examples include dandelions, wild garlic, and clover. Many of these plants are rich in vitamins and minerals, making them a nutritious addition to diets.
Foraging for edible wild plants has gained popularity as people seek sustainable food sources. However, it is essential to correctly identify these plants, as some can be toxic. Resources like field guides and local foraging groups can help individuals learn about safe and edible options in their area.
