unspeakablehorrorIn the US, some common edible plants are:
*cattails
*acorn (must process out the tannins)
*pine (nuts, needles, and inner bark)
*blackberries
*mulberries
*walnuts
*hickory nuts
*dandelions
*plantains (the leafy weed plant, not the banana-like one)
*wild radish
*wild mustard
*mallow
These are a few of the edible plants I've encountered before. As always, it's important to positively identify a plant to be edible before eating it. There are some pretty deadly plants out there that have been mistaken for edible ones. And even if you know a plant isn't toxic, it might still not be good to eat if it's growing in a place with lots of toxins in the air, water or soil, or if you happen to be allergic to it.
