Real Street Food: Urban Foraging in L.A.

(Great Big Story, 7/11/17) Christopher Nyerges has always loved plants and the outdoors. As a child, he foraged and stored plants in his parents’ refrigerator. Now he teaches others to do the same. This isn’t a nature hike with foraging.

How to Survive Anywhere (2nd ed.)

Nyerges uses his encyclopedic botanical knowledge and keen eye for urban-dwelling edible wild plants and teaches other Los Angeles residents where to find them and how to use them. At his School of Self-Reliance, he teaches city folks how to source alleys, parking lots, city parks, and path to find unexpected wild eats. From mustard flowers to radish pods, mallow fruits to mushrooms, he can forage the best and most nutritious vegetarian street food.

Christopher Nyerges talks about his first of 20 books on wild plants

Guide to Wild Foods...Plants

Learn about the many plant contributions of Native Americans to American culture today -- plants for food, medicine, and tools.

We’ll see these plants, which are in many cases very common, taken for granted, and not recognized for their rich history. This is a botanical exploration of plants of the Americas that are used to this day.

Foraging in North America

We’ll begin with the American plants that have profoundly affected the diet of the world. Then we’ll look at the local native plants that have a long history of use by the indigenous peoples of LA.
