This review is from: Edible Wild Plants: A North American Field Guide to Over 200 Natural Foods (Paperback)
Informative and almost all color photos. Wouldnt bet my life on this book alone but its worth its weight. Its a really good book if your in the Northeast usa. Wish there was a more in depth poison look alike section.

This review is from: Edible Wild Plants: A North American Field Guide to Over 200 Natural Foods (Paperback)
I bought this book for homeschooling. My 8 year old daughter LOVES it! She's become very good at identifying plants. Even in the backyard she has found edibles! We're hoping to take it on a camping trip soon and see how much food we can forage!!! I love to see my children, not only acquiring survival skills, but also connecting with the earth and realizing the bounty God/nature has provided for us. Food does not come from packages from grocery stores, it comes from the earth! As a society we've become all too disconnected from our food. One thing we've learned as a family, when you eat as God intended, all is well. Every aspect of life is transformed for the better. This book has been a great resource in furthering our journey as raw vegans.
