Food

I haven't posted anything in this blog in a long time because I have been busy in school and at home.
In this post I will explain some edible plants that are around in Canada and pictures so that they can be more easily identified.
There are the ever favorite the blueberry:


  • Garlic Mustard (green plant)




  • Gooseberries (fruits)



  • Indian Cucumber Root (tubers)




  • Jerusalem Artichoke (tubers)

  •  This is the end you eat


  • Mayapple (fruit)




  • Nettles (young whole plant) (& cordage)

  •  what your supposed to do is boil the leaves and eat like spinach


  • Ostrich Fern (fiddleheads) (young plants)

  •  eat them raw(but wash them first) or boil them with and put some butter on them.


  • Trout Lily (tubers)

  • <--- this is the edible part


  • Wild Carrot (roots)




  • Wild Garlic (whole plant)




  • Wild Leeks (whole plant)




  • Agave Root (root)
