We talk about foraging in this episode. The importance of gathering food to our ancestors, our evolution from there, and the current availability of wild food in the form of edible plants and funghi. Finding food is a skill which is in our DNA, it is one of the driving factors behind our existence today, our ancestors survived because they learned how to identify food.
Foraging can be safe and it can provide a large portion of food in your diet, or supplement your rations when you are out. It can also be deadly, and it is important to fully acknowledge the risks and be prepared to put in the effort to learn about what you plan to eat.
Although there are some incredibly nutritious plants available, none should necessarily be relied upon in advance for providing food unless you can be certain that they will be at your location and uncontaminated.
