MO Dept of Conservation - Jan Phillips' award-winning book, Wild Edibles of Missouri, was published in 1979 and is now out of print. We've preserved it here as a PDF. Download it to learn how to turn wild Missouri plants into biscuits, fritters, jellies, juices, pancakes, pies, salads, soups, wines and more. Color illustrations help you identify plants that are poisonous or have poisonous parts. -Check it out!

She actually tried every weed she researched for the book and had to learn to do illustrations and paint.

I just finished a novel that had three story lines in it. The woman in the 1600’s did all of these things like making tinctures and eating weeds and curing the sick - and she was labeled a WITCH! ;)
