We are surrounded by free groceries that we have never tasted and do not recognize. Learn to identify these fruits, nuts, grains, and vegetables, as well as how to find them and prepare them. These wild plants can be found throughout most of North America. For example, 78% of the wild plants described in this book are found in Nova Scotia.
