Synopsis

Learn how to turn wild Missouri plants into biscuits, fritters, jellies, juices, pancakes, pies, salads, soups, wines and more. Color illustrations help you identify plants that are poisonous or have poisonous parts. From the Introduction-The purpose of this work was to locate and experiment with Missouri's wild edibles. The edibles are arranged by the plant's flowering color. Each plant has a botanical name attached. The length or season of the flower bloom is listed under "Flowers." "Habitat" refers to the areas where that particular plant prefers to grow,which gives a clue when trying to locate it. "Location" is a reference to where the plant is commonly found in Missouri. "Collection" tells when the plant is edible or ready to be picked,pinched or dug. My hope is that several of the "Uses" or suggested ways to prepare the wildings will be tried by others. "Caution" is a warning for possible poisonous or rash-producing plants or parts of plants.
