Edible Leafy Greens

About

Edible wild plants are one of the cornerstones of this website, and they make up the bulk of the wild food I eat each year.

Here you'll find wild greens: common edible, leafy plants you can cook in place of things like spinach and kale. Most greens are found around the world, a couple are specific to North America.
