Reference: Edible Plants Database
This database provides information on common edible wild plants, their identification, uses, and safety tips. Knowing which plants are safe to eat can be a lifesaver in the wilderness.
Dandelion: Leaves, flowers, and roots are edible; rich in vitamins.
Cattail: Young shoots, roots, and pollen are edible.
Wild Onion/Garlic: Distinctive smell; bulbs and greens are edible.
Chickweed: Tender leaves and stems are edible raw or cooked.
Acorns: Must be leached of tannins before eating.
Always positively identify plants before consuming. When in doubt, leave it out.
