Food is growing freely and abundantly all around us, but many of us walk past this food every day without ever noticing. In this video I share 11 easy plants to help you begin foraging along with some of my basic tips to help you comfortably get started. I’m here to help you realize that our food doesn’t have to come from the grocery store. It can come from our own communities and we can produce and harvest our food in a sustainable manner.
Here is the list of plants in this video: https://www.robgreenfield.org/easyforaging

Thank you young man…very nice information
Delighted to see foraging encourage, and pleased with myself that they are all plants I already forage, except apples, which rarely fruit here. But we have abundant wild plums, canning pears, and persimmons growing wild.
I have lots of wild poinsettias growing in my new flower bed…….are these editable??
If you searched this up, you are woke!
I heard a lot of people saying there’s no cure for Hsv1/2 and other deadly diseases, that’s a lie I know a man that can cure any disease He cured me from Hsv2, He’s Dr Oseghale Sunday Herbal Home.!
Can’t see or hear you
I really loved how encouraging you were. I've been thinking about learning how to forage, and I was pretty nervous about it. This was exactly what I needed to hear!
Bro is just feasting here
I don't think this video is informative enough. People can poison themselves, without properly identifying a plant before they eat it. Good grief.
That's a raspberry plant
Good video, I thought you were gonna mention things hard to find but I knew what they all were
I found your page because of me limiting my space in my backpack for hiking. Born and raised in Philippines and i used to just take a lot from the trees and eat them,there is a fruit in Philippines,negros island called Tambis and salt and you are set to go. But over the years i moved here in new york and i adopted the environment here as a tattooer. I want to be able to identify eatable weeds again as i go back to trekking. I want to hear more about this,very informative.
Great info 👍🏼 Thanks
France? Not here in NM,. France is gay.
Hoe do you protect yourself from Fascioliasis? especially while collecting watercress.
The stinging nettle should not be eaten when it's already grown like you did here you should make people aware that some substance of it turns into crystals that can mess your kidneys up! So you would pick it and eat it only when it's barely sprouted a few inches and young plant in the top of it! Putting out the information the way you did is dangerous to People's Health
pls make video on edible plants on Himalayas & India;s forest
I love how you're just chilling without shoes.
you should show the plants up close.
Very good video, easy to understand format. However, I wish it was done elsewhere! Possibly in the Caribbean, or somewhere here on the North American continent.
Other than that, I wish you luck on your channel. Hope you get monetized, with more success.
Rasperry=3 leaves, blueberries=5 leaves.
ending protip was best ! thank you!!!
I recently got rid of my Herpes Virus through holistic medication by Dr Aluda on YouTube..
How do you go about doing this? Can I just grab this stuff and eat it? I don’t wanna get a parasite without washing this stuff before eating it
French watercress equals Fasciola hepatica
Could you do a close up of the leaves.
I'm rather surprised you haven't seen much narrow leaf plantain in america. in the southeastern United states, it's everywhere. I mean it's practically invasive.
How ru out in the woods without any weapons? Lmao
