Just hoping you pickers stay safe. I heard some edible wild plants have rather poisonous lookalikes.
Most wild plants are easy to tell apart and there is really no risk to picking and eating them (you could probably safely tell them apart after looking at a sketch, but I'd reccomend looking into it before you eat anything). Mushrooms are a different story, however, and I would never recommend trying to pick mushrooms that you think are an edible type.

I don't recognize any of these plants since I don't live in Europe. So long as the plants are cleaned and properly, there should be no problem eating those you pick in the wild. These probably wouldn't have pesticides on them if those are from pasture for feeding cattle or from the woods.

Picking wild plants isn't exactly a thing here in my country (those in the countryside tend to have vegetable gardens anyway). I did manage to try fiddleheads before and as far as I know those are not grown in gardens so they were probably found wild.

Not that photo specifically, I’m not sure what that plant is; nor have I ever seen it growing in the wild near me. I was more specifically talking about dandelions (which I usually make a dip with) and leeks (which I usually use in stew).


*Edit: Unless of course that photo is burdock. That almost resembles burdock (which I have picked/harvested before), but I can’t tell for sure.

It's not going to be much of a safe thing to do just eating wild plants that you don't know. It's better to be safe than sorry. Buy vegetables that are safe and maybe from the supermarket or something.

 Then I guess we should note that Rhubarb leaves are poisonous and should not be eaten.  Eating large amounts of raw or cooked leaves causes difficulty breathing, burning of mouth and throat. Symptoms set in within an hour of eating the leaves and lead to convulsions, internal bleeding, coma, and death.

 Many people eat cherries and potatoes from the supermarket but they don't realize that cherry pips are poisonous as are potatoes when they begin to turn green.

Of course they're food!  They are no doubt healthy because they are so fresh.  I used to pick fiddleheads with my grandfather in the spring.  We would also go looking for wild asparagus and giant puffball mushrooms.  The puffballs were my favourite because we would slice them and fry them in butter.  If you were lucky enough to catch a spring smelt run as well, you were in for a gourmet meal!
I've never tried fiddleheads but they grow nearby. I have to pick some and try it out as a side dish.

What I did try is dock. My mom used to make a tasty soup with its leaves.


I also loved cakes with rheum. You should try it, tastes a bit like lemon.



 I've never tried dock but we had some rhubarb (rheum) growing in the yard which we used exclusively for cakes and pies (not the yard BADecker but the rhubarb).  Rhubarb pie is delicious.

Looks like horseradish. I've never tried the leaves although I heard they are edible, but the root has a punch.
Nothing better to clear your sinuses, it's like a tear gas  Grin
I don't eat many greens, but I don't mind eating spinach from time to time, and chives of course. Most people like chives.

What you are there Italians! You post such nonsense can only Russian. When you laugh with the fact that Ukrainians eat grass think about how what you cook Russian cabbage soup. You sorrel, onions, dill, Basil, etc. don't eat?
Why is Ukraine eating grass ?..

Because they had a leader like jeremy corbyn in power Cheesy..
So the UK you think before you vote..

Petro Poroshenko is just opposite to what Jeremy Corbyn is. The former is a neo-nazi, while the latter is a extreme-left militant. Also, Poroshenko is a millionaire, while Corbyn's net worth is in negative.

I'm more interested to eat you sugar even though I'm no les but I'm willing to spend a night with you because I just adored you with the way you chat/talk, how's that for being wild while I will eat you and your delicious veg soup?

Ugh! those cows are eating the grass which humans usually don't eat and just wtf about those rats? are they really feed and grow them fat in order to then eat them? I want to know why would anyone even live in such a way? isn't death sweeter than having to eat rats? what kind of a standards do they have for living? common those are f*cking RATS, look at their eyes poor things are happy eating and being fat et al.

Here we either eat vegetables and baby cows and sheep meat/ chicken a lot of chicken/ gourmet my mother cooks the most delicious gourmet with best parts of sheep's meat, sometimes wild hunt meat and birds but never rats.

Hey, I see dandelions and leeks, two edible plants I find out in the woods here in the northeastern US (small world I guess). In a week or so the wild Leeks should be grown here in NY, these pictures are making me want to go harvest some.

This plant is very suitable for the first dish in cooking. Every spring we cook borscht from this plant at home and it does not matter whether it is wild or domestic.
