Rooted in Boutenko’s robust foraging experience, botanary science, and fresh dietary perspectives, this practical companion gives hikers, backpackers, raw foodists, gardeners, chefs, foodies, DIYers, survivalists, and off-the-grid enthusiasts the necessary tools to transform their simple harvests into safe, delicious, and nutrient-rich recipes. Special features include:
- 60 edible plant descriptions, most of them found worldwide
- 300+ color photos that make plant identification easy and safe
- 67 tasty, high-nutrient plant-based recipes, including green smoothies, salads and salad dressings, spreads and crackers, main courses, juices, and sweets

Story
The alkaline diet is also known as the acid-alkaline diet or alkaline ash diet. Its premise is that your diet can alter the pH value - the measurement of acidity or alkalinity - of your body. Your metabolism - the conversion of food into energy - is sometimes compared to fire. Both involve a chemical reaction that breaks down a solid mass. However, the chemical reactions in your body happen in a slow and controlled manner. When things burn, an ash residue is left behind. Similarly, the foods you eat leave an “ash” residue known as metabolic waste.

Critic reviews
"Wild Edibles: A Practical Guide to Foraging, with Easy Identification of 60 Edible Plants and 67 Recipes has taught me that my backyard is full of free food! Way to go, Sergei.”
—John Mackey, CEO of Whole Foods Market
“Wild Edibles is a useful guide to foraging and includes information on identifying 60 edible plants. Many colorful photographs and line drawings are provided as well. The author also presents clear details on which wild plants are poisonous and not edible. Vegan recipes using these foods are included. For example, you can whip up a Wild Amaranth Smoothie or prepare Wild Daily Salad, Sow Thistle Pesto, Sheep Sorrel Soup, Marinated Fiddleheads, or Roasted Veggies with Burdock.”
—Vegetarian Journal
“This book is clear, concise, and thoughtfully written for both novice foragers and those who know a thing or two. … Included along with identification are uses, nutritional information (very detailed), helpful tips, identification tricks, cautionary advise about look-alikes, and flavor. [Boutenko] also includes conservation and gathering etiquette. … His enthusiasm for foraging and eating healthfully while respecting the earth comes through on every page.”
