Wild Edible Plants of Texas: Volume 1: The Essential Forages Paperback – June 30, 2021
Purchase options and add-ons
A discussion of each plant's edible use and preparation is the publication's primary aim, though space is also given to range and habitat, medicinal uses (if applicable), cautions, and noteworthy special considerations. Helpful additions include sustenance ratings (low, medium, or high), collection timing and desired plant-part indicators, county-by-county map-images, over 160 color photos, and a general index.
Some of the entries have a greater-than Texas range, however many are uniquely Texan and hail from a specific region. West Texas' Chihuahuan Desert, the Hill Country of the Edwards Plateau, the Plains of the Panhandle, and the Piney Woods and Swamplands of the state's Coastal Plain all are botanically represented.

Coverage for all Texas' vegetation zones
Whether it's West Texas' Chihuahuan Desert or the Panhandle's Plains, the Hill Country or Pine forests-Swamplands of the East, WEPTX discusses an array of plants. Some are found state-wide and then others belong to just a particular region.
Garnish or sustenance provider?
Some wild edibles are calorically-dense and then others have the calorie-count of grass-clippings. To minimize guesswork, a sustenance rating (high, medium, or low) accompanies each profile. Meaning, if a true emergency-forage situation does occur, the reader stays well-informed.
