Which Wild Plants Are Edible?
We bet you enjoy hearing positive news stories about inspiring people, sharing their wisdom to help us all live sustainably? Here is one of these people, Wellingtonian Johanna Knox . Having heard an interview with Johanna on National radio, I knew I had to tell you about her.
So many people have asked us to compile a photographic list of wild edible plants. Well we never have, but wow! Johanna has done it. This energised kiwi woman has several informative blogs documenting her research about, and personal experience of, living off the land, living cheaply, and living well. While some of the edible ‘weeds’ are New Zealand natives, there are many plants that you will find internationally.
Johanna is, in her own words, “throwing herself into foraging. I am also enthusiastic about sustainable, ethical food production and consumption in general”. Here are the links to her blogs:
First of all click to ‘Wild Picnic’ – a gallery of edible and useful wild plants
Also look at ‘Star-cooked’ - for information about solar cooking, foraging, fermentation , and more
Then there is Wild Concoctions - a recipe journal of gorgeous looking unique and do-able recipes using readily available wild plants
Another helpful link on Johanna’s blog is a link to a list of poisonous plants to learn about and avoid .
I entreat you to learn about foraging; for your health, wallet and growth of your ecological wisdom. Get out there and start picking!
Best warm wishes from another enthusiastic weed forager and eater
