Hi, Iām Ryan and Iāve introduced myself in the intro thread
Lately as Iāve been planning for a nomadic hunter-gatherer life in the US, in the north during the summer months and in the south during the winter months Iāve run in to the issue of isolating forage during the winter months. I realize that there isnāt much growing in the north during the winter season but I would like to compile a list of plant foods available across the US during the winter months.
For this post Iād like to stick to food sources, medicines can be left for another thread. And months considered winter (climate wise) I believe would be November - April. I say through april because I know at least in MN we still have frosts sometimes at that point. Is usually the first week of may that planting is feasible.
Also for utility sake it would be nice if we could keep the thread clean and factual, foregoing speculation and including as much of the following as you knowā¦
Name of plant or fungus
Parts to be used
Any necessary preparation and if can be consumed Raw
General and special info
Also Iām aware that this info has a home in the field guide but here it can be assembled informally and so that itās all listed in one location for the topic (winter edibles), later it can be properly categorized in the field guide.
Cheers!
Ryan
