Over the past couple of years I have done alot of research into plants, in my area anyway, that are edible, have medicinal uses etc. I was interested because I think it's always good to be as prepared as possible when hiking, etc. I thought I'ld post a couple of fairly common wild plants (again stuff located in my area, Eastern Canada, but also other places). Always check before trying any wild plant for consumption! Be absolutely sure of what you're touching! Mistakes can be deadly! Here are a few which may or may not ever be useful to you 9you never know when seemingly random information can prove useful):
