Root to Bloom: A Modern Guide To Whole Plant Use (Mat Pember, Jocelyn Cross)

Root to Bloom equips readers with the knowledge and tools to grow, eat, and celebrate every edible part of the plant. The book explores the lesser-used parts of a plant that are often snubbed in favor of the produce we've come to expect. It includes a comprehensive rundown of 35 edible plants (from cilantro to onion to yams), covering extra components of edibility, including flowers, roots, and weeds. It educates people about ideal growing conditions, the nutrition level of the parts, as well as how to prepare/preserve them for eating, complete with recipes. It includes six chapters on key topics: Medicinal; Herbicides; Skincare; Weeds/foraging; The orchard; and Preserving flowers.
