Bizarre Edible Plants: Unknown Delicacies

Botanical explorer Joseph Simcox travels the world in search of rare edible wild plants, a kind of botanical folklorist who conducts fieldwork by searching through his vast collection of literature to find information on plants that were once eaten by humans but have since been forgotten, or plants that are only eaten in very local areas. This book is the culmination of his lifelong digging into the hidden potential of plants. It introduces all kinds of edible plants: fruits, leaves, tubers, and even parasitic ones. Simcox and his team have made 400 expeditions to over 100 countries, sampling and collecting seeds of thousands of edible wild plants in their natural habitats. Japanese language only.
