Two Notes Before We Start
- If it looks like carrots or parsley and you are not completely sure then leave it as it might be hemlock "they also cause troubles to botanists"
- If it looks like garlic or chives smell it to see - it's edible
There now follows a list of edible plants we encountered in the mountains of the Soča Valley
European wild ginger (Asarum europaeum)
Tastes like sandalwood if you eat the root
Carnations (like this one) are all edible and this is a wild relative
Calamintha adriana - a type of mint, it has mild psychoactive in strong quantities
Mountain Savoury
This fern's root is sweet and bitter at once but without sugar
Salvia (relative of sage) flowers are light yellow
Wild carrot
Hairy stem (smooth stem is poisonous)
Leaves just beneath that point downwards
Black flower in the centre of white con fluorescence
Good King Henry
Looks like spinach grows in high places and is delicious!
Ground Ivy (Glechoma hederacea, Slovenian Brsljanasta grenjkuljica)
St Johns wort
Oil infused is good for dry joints (rubbed) and sunburn, but to drink the tea makes you more susceptible to the sun's rays (may be part of
antidepressant action helping you get more vitamin D?)
