| Class Title | Wild Edible Plants (Indoor Teaching with plants and slides) |
| Instructor | Arthur Lee Jacobson |
| Details |
Anyone who spends much time walking outside should consider learning
the common wild edible plants, and learning to avoid poisonous ones. Hikers,
walkers, and chefs who want to increase their culinary options should
attend this class. Think about it: how many wild edibles do you eat? Seafood?
Expensive gourmet mushrooms? A few blackberries? The vast majority of
our diet is from domesticated plants and animals. Anthropologists studying
human nutrition throughout the world, in both present civilizations and
prehistoric times, assert that most people today eat relatively more starchy
foods and fewer vitamins, enzymes, minerals and proteins. In other words,
we fill our bellies easily but don’t nourish our bodies as well as we
used to. The development of agriculture went hand in hand with a decline
of hunting and gathering subsistence. So, eat some nettles for the sake
of principle! The emphasis at this time of year is salad greens, but in
this introductory account you will meet 40 wild edible plants, and 6 toxic
ones, of the Seattle area. Learn about Candyflower, Daisies, Ferns, Mustard,
Oregon Grape, Salal, Vetch, Wild Garlic, etc. |
