🧺 Forager's ground rules — read before you nibble:
100% certain ID or it doesn't go in your mouth. Confirm with an expert your first time.
Never forage near roadsides, sprayed lawns, or polluted water — plants absorb what's around them.
Some entries must be cooked. The ⚠️ notes aren't suggestions.
Take a little, leave a lot — never more than ~10%, never the only plant, never damage the plant.
Foraging is prohibited in Florida state parks and many preserves without a permit. Get permission on private land.
🌱 Nothing matches that. Try a broader term.
Every plant listed here is native to Florida. This is a food guide, not a medical guide —
no dosages, no medicinal claims.
