Wild Edible Plants of Arizona - Paperback

by Charles W. Kane (Author)

Serving up 58 calorically/nutritionally important wild edibles for the prepper, plant utilitarian, or curious hiker/camper, Wild Edible Plants of Arizona best fits the reader with a penchant for a handy and information-salient state-specific guide.

Helpful additions include sustenance ratings (low, medium, or high), collection timing and desired plant-part indicators, 58 Arizona-only county-location maps, over 160 color photos, and a 450-listing general index.
