Le régal végétal (rare book)

Wild edible plants are making a strong comeback on our plates. These plants, gifts of nature, offer us new flavors and represent an extraordinary mine of nutrients: they are veritable "alicaments", nourishing and free! Le Régal végétal, the first volume in this encyclopedia, is devoted to edible wild plants. The book is distinguished by its comprehensiveness: 650 genera and 1,600 species are presented in botanical, semantic, historical, geographical, chemical, food, medicinal and dyeing terms. The culinary uses of the different parts of each plant are detailed. The book includes practical instructions for picking, as well as a scale for classifying genera so that you can immediately see which are the most interesting. The plant dictionary is followed by numerous appendices for safe, nature-friendly picking. The Encyclopedia of Wild Edible and Poisonous Plants of Europe, the only work of its kind, provides all the information available today on wild plants to be harvested or avoided throughout the European continent.
