Wild Edible Plants of Tennessee - Paperback

by Charles W. Kane (Author)

The Smoky Mountains of the far east, central plateaus and basins, and river valley/coastal plain of the west, each with their corresponding temperature/weather influences, create a rich tapestry of wild edible selection. With Wild Edible Plants of Tennessee the reader has a concise guide to this offering.

A discussion of each plant's edible use and preparation is the publication's primary aim, though space is also given to range and habitat, medicinal uses (if applicable), cautions, and noteworthy special considerations. Helpful additions include sustenance ratings (low, medium, or high), collection timing and desired plant-part indicators, county-by-county map-image, over 160 color photos, and a general index.
