Welcome to Foraging Edible Herbs and Plants All Year Round, a book focused on the northern parts of the world to provide you with a collection of foods that grow during different times of the year. This book can be used as a gardening tool or a as needed survival guide for immediate foods in your area as one can always bolster their survival rate with more knowledge about their surroundings.

In the first chapter we'll go over prep and in this section we'll cover such items as:

• Why nuts and seeds should almost always not be what you eat unless you roast them.
• What parts of plants you should avoid in general to prevent yourself from pooping yourself to death.
• Which foods you should stay away from if you're trying to ensure the safety of the food.
• How to inspect a plant and how to generally make most edible plants actually edible as most do not come automatically edible.

In the next section, we'll go over a very extensive list of plants that you can usually identify very easily that are also edible. We'll go over what each one should generally look like and how to identify the plant. For a few of them, suggestions are made on how to not confuse them with other plants that may look similar but are extremely deadly. A good example of this is the Wild Carrot, which has a top flower that can be confused with Hemlock or Water Hemlock, which are some of the most poisonous plants on the planet.

The last two sections will cover some of the more difficult types of plants, such as edible poisonous plants and the edible but also medicinal plants. We'll go over such plants as:

• Thistles and Nettles, which are edible after being boiled but only certain kinds and we'll help you identify which ones.
• What parts of a wild cherry you shouldn't eat if you want to live.
• Some plants that can act as Neosporin, like Pine Trees and Plantains.

This book attempts to cover a lot of the plants while also making sure that what you are eating is safe and that you can identify the safe plants to eat. After all, if you cannot properly identify the safe plants then you are playing Plant Roulette.
