Produktbeschreibung

Edible Plants Handbook merges the worlds of nature and cuisine, offering a practical roadmap for safely identifying, harvesting, and cooking with wild flora. Centered on three pillars-plant identification, nutritional science, and culinary creativity-the book addresses modern challenges like food sustainability and nutrient density. With over 30,000 edible plant species worldwide, many overlooked in industrial agriculture, the guide emphasizes common, regionally adaptable plants such as dandelions and elderberries. It pairs botanical precision (like distinguishing leaf patterns or root structures) with historical context, revealing how foraging sustained past generations and could reduce reliance on ecologically costly food systems.

Unique in its interdisciplinary approach, the handbook combines ecology, safety protocols, and recipes. A standout feature is the "Forager's Calendar," which aligns harvest times with plant life cycles, while the "1-in-20 rule" promotes ethical harvesting by limiting takings to 5% of any patch. The book progresses from plant biology basics to global species profiles, nutrient analyses, and inventive recipes like wild garlic pesto. It integrates Indigenous knowledge and urban foraging tips, acknowledging debates around ecological impact and offering tools to avoid toxic species.

Balancing academic rigor with accessibility, Edible Plants Handbook empowers readers to transform overlooked weeds into nutrient-rich meals. Its fusion of science, tradition, and practicality makes it equally valuable for gardeners, cooks, and sustainability advocates seeking to deepen their connection with nature's edible bounty.
