Wildpflanzen essen

Discover local superfoods. From the meadow to the plate: Herbal expert Leoniek Bontje and nutritionist Yvet Noordermeer take us on a journey through nature. The best superfoods are waiting right outside our door to be picked. Edible herbs, berries, seeds, and nuts grow in the forest, in the fields, in our own gardens, and even in the heart of the city, allowing us to prepare delicious and healthy dishes.

The authors present the 56 most important native wild plants and show us how to prepare them best. The plant profiles, each detailing their healing properties and recipes, are organized by season: from nettle foraging in March to picking mallow and gathering rose hips in summer, and finally harvesting medlar in winter. Numerous pieces of information about the healing effects of the plants and their uses, along with instructions for tinctures and canning tips, complement the book.
