It shows where they can be found, what features make the plants unmistakable, and how they can be used in vegan, raw food dishes.

In addition, it explains exactly how to harvest and portion these valuable foods in a sustainable way.
Identify edible wild plants and enjoy them vegan.

They pack a punch: Edible wild plants are useful, nutritious, and tasty, making them an ideal building block for a raw food diet as well as for a healthy diet in general.

In her new book "My Favorite Wild Plants - Raw Food: Identify Safely, Enjoy Vegan," Christine Volm offers two things: clear wild plant portraits and matching recipes for raw foodists and for anyone who wants to learn about this form of nutrition, who has an appetite for delicious and healthy meals, enjoys trying new things, and wants to do something good for their body and soul. The book contains a selection of her favorite wild plant species, described and transformed into culinary delights just the way the author likes them best herself.

"My Favorite Wild Plants - Raw Food" is divided into two parts. First, the raw food expert explains which plants are considered edible wild plants, where and how to collect them, and which plants should be avoided because they are indigestible.
Furthermore, the author discusses the valuable nutrients in the plants and explains how a diet including wild plants supports health.
The second, detailed part contains the plant portraits as well as the vegan recipes.

Here, there are no limits to the reader's imagination: they can simply follow the recipes as given, try one of the many suggested variations—such as preparing the patties with plantain or ground elder instead of comfrey—or experiment freely. Everyone gets their money's worth and can discover their personal taste for wild plants. With Christine Volm's raw wild plant food, variety on the plate is guaranteed!

Dr. Christine Volm, from Sindelfingen, is a horticultural scientist. She shares her experience with raw food nutrition in lectures, seminars, publications, and individual nutritional consultations. Her book "Rohköstliches" (Raw Delights) has already been published by Verlag Eugen Ulmer.
