Edible: 70 Sustainable Plants That Are Changing How We Eat

Edible: 70 Sustainable Plants That Are Changing How We Eat
By Kevin Hobbs and Artur Cisar-Erlach

An illustrated celebration of sustainable and often little-known edible plants from around the world that are revolutionizing how we grow, eat, and appreciate food.

Edible explores fascinating plants from every continent, including grains and vegetables alongside quirky local staples, from the little-known spice grains of paradise to dandelions and Irish moss. Each plant profile provides insights into growing conditions, nutritional information, and tips for growing, cooking, and eating.

With a directory of places to find and purchase featured plants and accompanying resources at the end of the book, this compendium offers both a deeper appreciation and understanding of the diversity of edible plants and a source of inspiration for readers to discover, try, and grow new food for themselves.
