Urban Foraging For Survival - Ronald Williams - Bog

When it comes to survival, we know the good old saying, 'survival of the fittest'. But in this case of survival, what it comes down to is, 'survival of the most knowledgeable'. What if you were stranded on an island or a rainforest and you happened to pick off a poisonous berry from a plant that you deemed edible, although it wasn't? Well, if this were the case then either you'd be completely sick or you might die from the plant, being that it was poisonous. You certainly don't want to catch yourself in this type of position otherwise you will certainly not survive, this is a fact. This is why it is ultimately important to learn about foraging for survival, especially if you have no other sources of food for energy. Examples of plants that we will cover in this book include the following: Herbs Citrus fruits Roses Yucca flowers Clovers Pears Grapes Peaches Apples Berries Rosemary Maple trees Mushrooms Wild greens For each of these plants, you will learn how to identify them, the health benefits of the plant, and how to properly prepare it to make it safe for consumption.
