A community centred around a massively under-utilized food source: the edible weeds we mow down, rip out of our gardens, or spray to kill! Weeds can provide a good auxilliary food source if one knows what theyre looking for.

Please Note: Always do ample research before eating wild plants and be sure you are absolutely sure you know what youre eating! Many wild plants can make you sick if misidentified or improperly prepared. If in doubt, ask an expert before consuming and always use common sense!

I wanted to share a few useful resources for those out there who are interested in finding edible weeds but don't know where to start.

Picture This App, and app that uses AI to identify plants taking a simple picture. I have found this app to be quite accurate but remember to always check and see if there are look-alikes out there which may not be edible.

Eat the Weeds, blog style website with a huge number of entries on edible weeds. A very useful resource to start finding edible weeds you might encounter.

Wild Edible, another great blog style source outlining several wild edible plants. Importantly, entries often have a look-alike section which can help you determine if youre looking at the right plant.

If you have any other trusted resources, share them here!
