Description The Weed Forager’s Handbook An astonishing number of the plants we call ‘weeds’ are either edible or medicinal, and have deep and sometimes bizarre connections to human history. But how do you distinguish a tasty sandwich-filler from its dangerous look-alike? Which weeds are among the most nutritious vegetables ever tested? And how do you cook with delicious nettles without fear of being stung? Discover the answers to these questions and more in The Weed Forager’s Handbook, a field guide to the most common and useful edible weeds in Australia. This second edition includes additional weed profiles (22 in total plus 14 short profiles), updated research, extra facts and new photos. Step into the world of our least-admired botanical companions, peel back the layers of prejudice and forever change where you go looking for lunch!
