Preparing

Knowing how to prepare your wild plant helps you get the most from your experience. Acorns offer an excellent example: Most acorns have an abundant supply of tannin that must be leached out to render the acorn meal useful for breads and not unpleasantly bitter. After all, the best part of a successful forage is the enjoyment of eating what you have found!

The Scout’s Guide is packed with insights and recommendations gleaned from a lifetime of foraging and my 50-plus years as a wild food educator. May you find this book to be exactly what I intended it to be: a useful field guide to the great adventure of foraging.
