RE: Eating the Appalachian Trail, Edible wild plants
Loved this article! Some new wild edibles I had never heard about before.
I have always wanted to hike the trail, as I live in Canada just above where it ends (or starts depending which way you want to go I guess). Have you ever tried dandelions? I have been told they are edible and some people make wine with them, but damn is that white juice ever bitter.
Juneberries are my favourite, my great grandmother used to pick them by the bucket for me. I always used to just call them serviceberries. It is interesting how many names there are for different wild edibles and berries!
Lol i literally laughed out loud because my grandma used to collect a bucket of Dandelions. You can do a lot with them...she used to feed them to us whenever she thought we were getting sick. You can make bothe tea and wine from them however Ive never tried the wine. It'd be interesting Im sure.
