Here are some of the best wild edible books for the Pacific Northwest. The descriptions are from the back cover of each book. If you haven't, check out my
youtube clip where I show you how you can gather high quality food from the forest :).
1. Wild Harvest: Edible Plants of the Northwest
For everyone from backpackers to backyard harvesters,
Wild Harvest is a field guide to wild edibles with their seasons and cooking suggestions.
2. Northwestern Wild Berries
Wild Berries contains a simple key and nearly 100 magnificent color photographs to guide you quickly to berry identification. Additional notes on how early Indians valued berries and where and when to collect them make this book an indispensable tool.
3. Guide to Indian Herbs
This well-illustrated handbook describes 52 of the best-known herbs used by the Indians of North America. Each plant is identified by locale, sketch and photograph, and the uses to which each one was put are briefly described. Tonics, inhalants, poultices, laxatives, diuretics, sedatives - there was a plant for every need. Some of these tribal remedies passed - often in more sophisticated form - into the repertoire of the medical profession; many others have a secure place in the annals of folk medicine.
