Edible Plants of Newfoundland and Labrador

In an era before supermarkets became our main source of food, most people knew which wild plants were edible and how to create delicious meals with them. The woods, clearings, heaths, and seashores of Newfoundland and Labrador are home to a wide selection of edible plants.

In this guide to over five dozen edible plant species that grow in our North Atlantic climate, biologist Peter J. Scott provides a wealth of information about each of them. His easy-to-use guide includes habitats in which each can be found, basic recipes, a glossary, and references so that you, too, can enjoy the bounty that exists outside our doors.
