Humans have always been foragers, at least that was how our forefathers lived. They got edible nourishment from the earth, and this made them very healthy and strong. There are two major classes of edible foods: edible plants, trees, fungi, and weeds. Edible weeds include the weeds that grow in fields, trees, farms, and backyards and are mostly ignored because many have no idea that they can be consumed. Some of them include alfalfa, blue vervain, borage, bugleweed, bull thistle, cattail, chickweed, and so on. Edible flowers, on the other hand, include flowers known mostly as decorative items but can be consumed and are highly nutritious. Foraging is an act of searching the wilderness for plants, herbs, and fungi that is useful to us. While the initial definition of the word was intended to define the search for food items, it now includes searching for plants suitable for health and wellness. Foraging is generally associated with camping and trekking through the forests of the world. In reality, even using a wild plant growing at the end of your street can be considered foraging. Our ancestors have used wild plants and mushrooms since the early stages of human life for their survival. Many of these contain minerals, vitamins, and other compounds that can be used for curing certain diseases or for general health. Most of these plants have been labeled as weeds because of their ability to grow almost anywhere, but are editable and have healing properties. The most important part of foraging is the ability to identify a plant correctly and to figure out if it is edible or useful and not poisonous. To do this, a person needs a lot of guidance and experience. Over the years, foragers have documented the plants that they have come across, along with their uses to humans. In this guide, we'll take a look at everything you need to know, including pictures and tips on how to identify safe plants and their dangerous look-alikes.
