Looking at a field of flowers, shrubs, and grasses, some may see only overgrowth and weeds but to author Kahanah Farnsworth it is a rich source of nutritious edible food. These plants were commonly used by native peoples as important sources of health and nutrition. Written as a companion to her wild plant guide A Taste of Nature: Edible Plants of the Southwest and How to Prepare Them (also published by Ancient City Press) Going to Seed helps the wild plant enthusiast find and identify 88 additional plants easily found in the Southwest. To avoid misidentification, there are additional sections on mushrooms, questionable, and poisonous plants. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
