I found edible wild spring plants in a supermarket earlier than normal. And I enjoy the unique harsh and bitter taste which I could not enjoy as a child.

Edible wild plants are good for preventing clinical depression which we have inherited from our Neanderthal ancestors. Sometimes harsh and bitter tasting foods are good for detoxing. Maybe that is why most of us learn to love that kind of taste as adults.

I think that traditional cooking is the best way to enjoy edible wild plants. Sometimes the traditional way is a collection of wisdom from ancient times. In this case, we just follow it humbly.

Even if you don’t like it, just try it once please. You may receive wisdom and feel the ancient times.
