List of Edible Plants

This list of edible plants is one I am slowly working my way through, investigating, eating, and cooking with the various plants listed. Some of them grow near me but others I am going to have to hunt for, It's a nice way to get out into the countryside and explore.

I believe that we have all that we need on this planet already, it's just finding it and knowing how to use it. I take a lot of inspiration from old fashioned books such as 'Culpeppers Complete Herbal' Once I start getting interested in trying a plant I do more research to make sure it is not poisonous, some of the plant names have changed since Culpeppers day and I don't want any mix ups! Also if a plant resembles another deadly plant (members of the parsley family and hemlock, for example, I don't touch it, just in case I got the identification wrong)

I have always loved nature and as a child lived in the countryside in a small village. My mum was very much into medicinal plants, and cooking with foraged food such as wild garlic, blackberries and elderberries, she had taught me all of the plant and tree names at an early age and I still enjoy pottering around mixing up concoctions. It's even more fun as an adult as you get to use the stove and stuff, lol! I have a large website dedicated to natural remedies here.

Here's my list of edible plants, which you can also find on my herb website. I am focusing on wild edible plants as I want to show what is out there in the wild for free. Of course if you ever feel like trying a wild edible plant do your research first, some may give reactions or not be suitable mixed with certain medications, make sure that you are fully aware of each plants toxicity as plants previously thought edible are being tested and found to be toxic .
