About Wild Edible Plants Of Colorado
Product Description Discover 58 wild edible plants of the Coloradan mountains, basins, and plains. Home state to the Southern Rocky Mountains, Colorado's wild edible abundance draws mostly from the forested zones. Lesser known is the state's affiliation with desert orientations to the west and Great Plains to the east. Wild Edible Plants of Colorado compiles the most relevant edible plants from these various regions and offers them to the reader as a user-friendly visually-appealing booklet. 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, 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.

Printed and Bound in the USA. From the Inside Flap From the Introduction Colorado maintains more xerophytic plant life to the west, alpine/subalpine plants in the middle, and prairie plants to the east. It's difficult to correlate types of edible plants with the state's various zones; however, as a non-scientific, off-the-cuff observation, it seems that there are more Mustards and annual greens in western parts than elsewhere. Berry providers (mostly Rose family) dominate the Rockies, and as for the Plains, grains (grass seed) and roots/tubers/bulbs tend to be more abundant.
