Foraging for Wild Food in the USA

This North American common name to UK common name conversion list follows the common and botanical names given on the USDA website. The designation of weed follows the original list drawn up for the UK. The weed status may be different in the US, but is likely to reflect a vigorous plant, which would be a survivor in many different location. It is unlikely that picking any of those plants marked as weeds would endanger any species. However, you may wish to ascertain the plants are plentyful in your location. You can also check distribution on the USDA website state search page.

The list of plant details was drawn up for the UK. Please use the name conversion list to find details of plants. A one-stop list will be available soon.
