An Instant Guide to Edible Plants

by Pamela Forey, Cecilia Fitzsimons

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.

[Ann Keller]

Excellent resource for the avid gardener. I learned a lot from this little book. Some of the edible plants will really surprise you. Good information on those with some parts which are also poisonous, too.

[Forest (Sarka) Chick]

A pocket guide good for musing, although very good in telling food uses.
