The plants chosen represent every habitat and every region in North America, from the northern forests to the southwest deserts, from the largest cities to the wildest mountains. Rather than cover hundreds of species in brief accounts that leave the reader unsure of how to proceed, Samuel Thayer encourages readers to thoroughly learn one plant at a time. Each of these traditional foods has a rich culinary and cultural history—a wholesome past that is still relevant for our health and happiness today. The text is fully accessible to the novice, but remains botanically accurate and has the in-depth information that seasoned foragers crave. Sharing the wisdom of a lifetime of daily foraging, the author answers all of the reader’s questions about each plant: How do I identify it? What might I confuse it with? Where can I find it? What part do I use, and when is it ready to be picked? How do I gather and prepare it? How can I be sure to harvest it responsibly? This discussion is accompanied by more than 350 color photos showing all the key features for identification, including potentially confusing species. Photos also depict the exact parts to use and the proper stage for collection. All of this is delivered in a familiar but authoritative tone, along with humorous anecdotes and insights from extensive real-life experience with each plant covered in the book. Incredible Wild Edibles contains an index, bibliography, illustrated glossary, range maps, and foraging calendar. This third volume in Thayer’s Forager’s Harvest series has no overlap of the plants covered in the first two volumes. Review: A must have for all us foragers!!! - Purchased 3 of Samuel Thayer’s books after glancing thru his first book!! He is so informative and his set is a must for any forager!! Detailed pics and descriptions of all plants. Love walking our property identifying all our plants with his books on hand. Review: New plants, same style, great addition to the natures garden "series" - In my opinion, Samual is the primary modern author of edible wild foods for folks who actually want to use and process wild foods with success. His books are where everyone should start and his books have greatly expanded my love of wild foods. More importantly, his books have given me the knowledge to actually use wild foods in a substantial way in my diet. No other modern book does this with each plant to the extent he does. His style, following Gibbons lead, of laying out each plant with personal use, story, and harvesting/processing technique, allows the reader to actually use the information presented. I really appreciate that. The book is set up essentially the same as all his other books, which is perfect. I live in Maine, and I have been using his other two books for years and years now. More recently, I looked past this book at stores, because I didn't recognize the book as Sams! I thought it was a cheesy armchair foraging book because of the title (sorry Sam!). That my own bias, but damn... the power of branding. Glad I figured it out and purchased! Only thing to note: Call me a snowflake, but as a queer dude, I didn't appreciate making fun of a dude because he wears a dress. The chicken feather guy point was perfect... without that addition. Gender is fluid and constructed, as seen in many many cultures (see two-spirit etc.) many of whom are the reason we have the majority of the historical-use knowledge that is in these books. Personally, I like to not have transphobia in my wild foods books. Sam will probably think I'm some chicken feathers wing nut for bringing it up. I want to believe he is not transphobic or homophobic (probably because I love his books and they have meant a lot to me - my bias ) and that this was just him not being aware of his impact. Queer and trans folks will notice the underlying shaming implied in this line of the book instantly though! Any-who, the information contained is worth it in my opinion and the book is overall really great, like all his others! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #78,086 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #53 in Organic Cooking #93 in Natural Food Cooking #102 in Ecology (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 893 Reviews | ## Images ![Incredible Wild Edibles - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81K7zsgi2BS.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must have for all us foragers!!! *by A***R on July 14, 2025* Purchased 3 of Samuel Thayer’s books after glancing thru his first book!!
