FOODS IN THE WILD
When interacting with nature, search for a
few foods in the wild while on your adventure. The best spots, oddly
enough, are often found along the hiking trails.
In our travels, this is a short
list of the wild foods that we've been fortunate enough to come
across:
Wild plums, Mexican plums, wild
persimmons, wild strawberries, blackberries, dewberries, wild onions,
wild garlic, juniper berries, pecans, hickory nuts, English walnuts,
black walnuts, acorns, mushrooms, figs, peaches, kumquats, crab
apples, wild Mustang grapes, dandelions, roses, cactus, cactus fruit.
Though all are edible in some
form, be certain of proper identification before consuming anything
that you discover along the trail. Many plants mimic poisonous plants.
Great example: mushrooms.
