Texas Edible Wild Plant Foraging Beginner Foraging Field Guide for Finding, Identifying, Harvesting, and Preparing Edible Wild Food

Explore Texas like never before as you forage for 40 different wild edible plants! Are you tired of overpriced supermarket greens and fruits that taste bland? Are you looking for a way to eat healthy and fresh without breaking your wallet? Have you heard of foraging but don't know if it's right for you? Even before farming became a widespread activity, humans had a different way of sourcing food. There were no markets, no vendors, no processing plants – just nature. The ancient human's lifestyle was that of a hunter-gatherer: exploring the wilderness and sourcing a diverse range of edibles straight from nature. Such a lifestyle also ensured that you would be exposed to a variety of nutrients, contributing to good health and well-being. However, in these modern times, the dependence on packaged food has changed what you eat and how you eat. With pre-packaged fruits, berries, nuts, and other produce, you pay more for a small quantity, and that too with washed down nutritional value. There's also no guarantee that what you're eating is fresh. Fortunately, the old hunter-gatherer way of foraging is still practiced by millions of cultures and societies across the world – rural as well as urban. And if you're looking to forage for 100% natural food in and around Texas, you've come to the right place.
