Worldwide, there are more than 120,000 edible species of wild plants. Almost any geographical area, except for the floating ice of the Arctic Ocean and the glaciers of the highlands, is able to give people plants that can be eaten.
Edible wild plants that can be harvested in September, October, November and December, preparation for eating and nutritional properties.
There are edible plants that can be eaten raw, but careful heat treatment is still preferable. Nuts, fruits and tubers have the greatest nutritional value. Preparing for a trip or a trip, it will not be superfluous to inquire and study the flora of the area where your path lies. Perhaps to the already well-known edible plants will be added a lot of others that grow in this particular area.
