Phytoalimurgia - Wild edible plants

The gathering of wild plants is a practice that accompanies man since prehistoric times, especially during periods of famine. The opening to organic and eco-sustainable food in recent years has generated renewed interest in this practice also called harvesting, a growing awareness of the superior properties and benefits of spontaneous edible plants over those from crops, and the importance of seasonality and consumption of foods whose biodiversity has not been affected by guided growth process.
