Edible Weeds List

Use the links at the bottom of this page to navigate these edible weeds (listed in alphabetical order). Each weed can be identified by its flowers, leaves, height, stem and habitat.

To support our efforts please check out our wild food store (books and PDF magazines).

Just because a flower is deemed edible does not mean it is automatically safe to consume. Pollen can cause allergic reactions when eaten by some people. It is important to proceed with caution because many flowers are poisonous. Identify the flower exactly and eat only edible flowers and edible parts of those flowers. Also, eat only flowers that bloom from plants that were naturally grown and never eat flowers from a floral shop.
