I recommend mastering dandelion first if you want to get into wild foods...one of the most accessible and very good for us. Study a bunch and dont eat anything you arent sure about...be careful!

  • in central park ? ... I'm all for eating wild greens, but be smart of where you collect.... not near roads (pollution) or tended parks (herbicide & pesticide = pollution)....

  • @OBSysteme scroll down a bit and check the other comments ;)

  • Where did you learn how to forage? I want to buy a book.

  • @dolliegrass it depends on where you live (the kind of book you get)...I learned thru books and the internet...then went out and saw the buffet that was always there in front of me.

  • Hi! Do you worry about pesticides? You inspired me to start foraging, but I know that a lot of parks spray the majority of their land, and the rest of it, animals will most likely take care of. I'd really love to forage, though. What do you do?

  • In central park they will put signs up where they sprayed. Its rare though...usually only done for mosquitoes near the bramble (close to the lake...north side).

    As for the dogs...I stay off the the paths, but its usually not a problem.

    If anything, I should be concerned about the car exhaust settling onto the soil. I was a little close to the road that time...better to get back into the woods.

    Head for a state park or a woodlot in the burbs...people only spray if they have to.

  • I do this myself. I freaking love dandelions. They're gifts from mother nature and they can help fix anything in your body. I also eat stinging nettles, milk thistles and many other weeds. I feel great.

  • @faffibo try using greens *spinach usually*, canned coconut milk (I feel that this is a good product) and then stevia drops....it will be creamy and "sweet" but with loads of greens inside....let me know!

  • Finally I see one strange person, just like me, eating weeds :-) People think I am very weird :-) i am not alone anymore

    !!!!!!!!!

  • @Rawmodel yes, sorry, I notices after I posted on the fly.

  • farming level: 99

  • Is there anywhere I can find out the nutritional value of these kinds of raw wild food? I'm looking for foods that can help with my photophobia (light sensitivity).
