About this book:

Urban Foraging: Finding Food in the City Discover the secret bounty thriving in the cracks of sidewalks, the shade of city trees, and the forgotten corners of vacant lots with *Urban Foraging: Finding Food in the City*. This comprehensive guide transforms everyday strolls into treasure hunts, teaching you how to safely identify, harvest, and prepare a surprising array of edible weeds, fruits, nuts, tubers, and fungi that flourish right under your nose.
