Foraged Edible Wild Foods
are an Excellent Addition to
Your Raw and Living Food Diet.
Before you start to forage and add these excellent wild edible foods into your raw diet, it's important that you get a very good pictorial guide -- in full color -- of the wild plants in your area.
See our bookstore: Books: Edible Wild Plants and Foraging for some excellent wild edible plant guides.
If you can, also take classes in foraging in spring... again in summer... and yet again in fall... so that you can identify with certainty the edible wild plants in your area during all of the growing seasons.
