Summary
Details

Discover the rich world of New Zealand's wild edible plants with this comprehensive guide.

In this comprehensive companion to the best-selling A Field Guide to the Native Edible Plants of New Zealand, Andrew Crowe explores the rich culinary world of Aotearoa's non-native plants - the so-called 'weeds'.

From miner's lettuce to watercress, taro to acorns, this go-to, illustrated handbook offers tips on how to confidently identify introduced edible wild plants. Andrew Crowe explores traditional usage of the plants on the various continents where they originate to establish which parts are safe to eat and when and how to eat them. He then cross-checks this research against chemical analyses - both nutritional and anti-nutritional. The result is a practical, accessible and reliable forager's guide for everyday use.
