Eco-Friendly Foraging - Plants Walk / Wild Food Tasting & Drinks

Want to learn about edible plants and help the environment in the process? Did you know what we are surrounded by wild edible plants and most of them are non-native to Los Angeles and often invasive?

Very often the same plants are crops in some other countries and yet, locally, the solution is to spray them with chemicals or waste this incredible food resource by uprooting and throwing it away. So sad when you realize that a recent study from the University of California Berkeley identified 52 edible weeds growing in abundance in the poorest neighborhoods of San Francisco. At least six of them were found to be more nutritious than kale, according to that study.

At this time of year, we’ll also explore edible grains and seeds. Pascal is considered one of the leading experts on the subject and has recently completed a book dedicated to wildcrafted seeds and grains.
