Recommended Books & Guides On Wild Edibles & Medicinal Plants

Hey guys in this video we go over some of the books and guides that I recommend for foraging wild edibles and medicinal plants. There are thousands of books on this subject and today we talk a bit about some things you might want to keep in mind when looking for books on plants. Things like good detailed text of the plants and it's uses, up close or detailed photographs of the leaves flowers can all be useful. Some of these books talk about edible plants, others talk about medicinal plants, and some are just a good read covering a lot of different plants and herbs.
From the Peterson Field Guide to Edible and Medicinal Plants, to the Smithsonian handbook for herbs we talk a bit about each one and how they can help you in identifying or using wild plants for food or medicine. These are just a few of my recommended books and guides on wild edibles and medicinal plants.
I thank you guys for watching I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you learned something. If you want to learn more about edible or medicinal plants make sure to subscribe!

I bought many of these books after watching your reviews about them. These reviews are so very good and helpful. You do a great job reviewing them. I have one book about mushrooms of new york state, but I think I'm going to get one or maybe a couple for plants in my area as well. That's a very good bit of advice. Can never have enough books. Thank you so much for these reviews! They are so helpful!

[@kmac244yh4]

[@nunyabizzz1135]

This should be a subject taught in school.

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

I very much agree!

[@jeanneamato8278]

Have quite a few of these and agree with your assessment. So many books so little time.

[@CrackedSociety]

Awesome video! I really appreciate your reviews. I've been wanting to get into learning about this stuff and I was really confused on which books to purchase, there are so many to choose from so this was really helpful!

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

I'm glad it was helpful for you! The amount of books can be overwhelming but there are many good ones out there, we just have to look. Thanks for commenting!

[@haileypuerner131]

[@garland978]

Great collection of resources. I have the Peterson books on my to buy list including trees. I am glad to see there is a book about Native American Herbalogy, I will look for that one. Thank you for sharing these with us.

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

You're welcome Garland! The book on Indian Herbalogy is amazing and so in depth I still learn things when I read it and I've had it for several years. Thanks for commenting!

[@stylishfellowsart1458]

[@eliseadams9176]

Thanks for the great info! I didn’t think about getting books from the university or extension office.

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

You're welcome Elise! I didn't either when I first started out, but they can be great sources to have. Thanks for commenting!

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

I will, thanks for the resource vincent!

[@nayanidealwis281]

Hi, thanks for the review. Just wondering if anyone could recommend books about harvesting plants and how to preserve materials or making them into essential oils. Thanks

[@octaviusmaquiavelus]

Im looking for books like those, but, I need some for Mexico, can you give me some information about it? which books and where I can find them. Thanks

[@mountainman706]

Hello sir plz suggest me a plant name of medicinal important or antioxidant activity in which very few research paper are published

[@yeshuaisthewaythetruthandt515]

I like ur way of demonstrating d plants because u hold them in ur hands that give me an idea of the size of d leaves etc. but d books don't really show sizes unless u read d description. I would buy ur books

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Thank you myfairy talegimail! I would love to write a book on the subject some day, hopefully soon!

[@Denis-cp3tc]

Is the first book you showed viable for Europe?

[@WaschyNumber1]

I'm looking for books for medicinal plants they are in the UK 🤔

[@richgran]

Thanks for the recommendations. Why not add the books to your Amazon selection?

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

I haven't updated that in a while. I probably should though but I honestly just didn't really think about it. Thanks for bringing this up!

[@QuiutheAwesome]

I'm trying to find a book for Portugal orn Europe... Could u help me?

[@stacyrussell2957]

Have you found one with pictures of a plants taken in all the seasons? Plants are not in bloom year round. That's the information needed.

[@StandFast1611]

Hello, do you think the medical Peterson book would have some info on purslane plants (I think thats what they're called) God bless in Christ Jesus.

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Yes it certainly does have purslane in it. If you want to learn about that plant the book would definitely be a good starting point.

[@nathanparker5816]

I live in eastern Australia, any books anyone can recommend?

[@LikeTektronix]

Hutchins's book, "Indian Herbology of North America" has at LEAST one error in it. Always cross reference all infomation with other literature. Be sure to get as much as possible, original sources and or trace back to origninal information/sources/author/s...

[@Victor-iq5rd]

The strange symbol stands for micrometers

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Interesting to know, thanks for sharing this Victor, I really appreciate it!

[@mirmohammedrayyan]

Any book for India or even Asia?

[@hakimziaullah7827]

What is the price of a set of all these books and from where to get tham .

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

It would probably run about $200 give or take, as this videos a few years old and some of these books might be on sale. You should be able to find them all on Amazon, or most of them anyways.

[@lizzymusicpou9042]

How can i order plz help

[@Shavenerd53119]

Hey Josh can i recommend a great book to you?

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Please do Jordan, I love to learn from you guys as well!

[@shardhas.p3917]

Hey mush tnks too you " I have a inner passion for natural and herbal remedies ! as such I really appreciate your mush needed topic ' but what you think about Markus Rothktanz book ( Free Food and Medicine )?... I was look forward in perching a choppy..will like your feed back tnks again have a bless day and keep up your wrk...

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

You're very welcome, I'm glad you appreciate it! I have not heard of that book yet, until now. So I'll try to get a copy to form an opinion on it as soon as I can. However I will say that if a book on the subject interests you it's probably worth it to check it out. I have learned something new from each one of the books in this video and that in itself is worth the price usually in my opinion. I'm sorry I couldn't be of much help on that particular book, I just don't like to give an opinion on something if I don't really know what it is. Thank you for asking though, and have a good day!

[@shardhas.p3917]

Tnks even for trying , I appreciate your honest opinion.. And you keep up informing us just love a holistic life style n ever plant tells a story with a unmarchless value . have a awesome day again..

[@kellyberry716]
