Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

An Instant Guide to Edible Plants is an ideal compact guide to the identification and uses of the most commonly found edible wild plants of North America.

An easy-to-understand system of color-coded bands that denotes the edible part of the plant leads quickly to the correct section of the book. Detailed full-color illustrations, concise text, including information on the food uses of each species, and a distribution map allow you to make a positive identification. Symbols alert you to the dangers of similar, sometimes poisonous, plants.

Synopsis:

This entry provides identification and uses of the most commonly found edible plants of North America, with four-color illustrations, and symbols that alert the reader to the dangers of poisonous plants that look similar to edible ones.
