T here are many plants that come to mind when we think of wild edibles on the Island, raspberries; blueberries; fiddleheads; mushrooms; or even cattails. But there are also some more unusual plants that are delicious to eat, and even easier to prepare. Foraging in the wild doesn’t have to be intimidating. There are dozens of useful plants — both edible and medicinal — on PEI to take advantage of. Once you know what to look for, it can truly open your eyes to the beauty of our landscape in a whole new and exciting way.
