Best 5 Foods to Forage from Your Forest (Or Back Yard)
Dandelions
I know what you're thinking-bitter stem, but the herb is quite delectable. Use heads for fritters, leaves for stir-frys, roots for tea, etc.
Fiddleheads
The unfurled portion of a lady fern or ostrich fern can be used easily in a variety of recipes. They're tasty and fun too!
Huckleberries
These pretty red (or blue) balls are tangy sweet and delicious in all sorts of way, like jam, pie, on salads, or fresh.
Stinging Nettle
Harvesting this does require some gloves (or skill), but this green is a nutrition powerhouse, loaded with folic acid. Make it into a pesto!
Mushrooms
Mushrooms come in a variety of flavors and appearances, and once you know what you're doing, you'll have a blast gettin them for free.
