GENERAL RULES FOR EDIBLE PLANTS

Generally speaking, “Leaves of three, let them be. Leaves of four, eat some more.”

Other general rules to avoid potentially harmful plants are to stay away from any wild or unknown plants that have:

• Milky or discolored sap

+Tip: Lichens exist in most alpine environments. There are no poisonous lichens. You can soak them overnight and then boil them in water to remove the acids and the disagreeable taste.

• Beans, bulbs, or seeds inside a pod

• Three-leaved growth pattern

• Grain heads with black, purple, or pink spurs

• Almond scent in woody parts and leaves

• Dill-, carrot-, parsnip-, or parsley-like foliage

• Spines, hairs, or thorns

• Bitter or soapy taste
