About this course

Wild, edible herbs have historically been used as free, local food, nutritional and medicinal sources. They are highly valuable to your clients because they are so nutritious, fresh, in-season, and often organic. They also often grow spontaneously and adapt well to various climates and conditions. These free foods impart many compounds needed in the human diet in regard to macronutrients, micronutrients and phytonutrients. Including these in your patient's diets can greatly expand their food diversity. Some of them have clear medicinal benefits that you can utilise in their care plan.

Edible greens are typically very low in energy density so are suitable for weight management and they exhibit the full range of flavours: bitter, sour, sweet, salty, umami. In this valuable discussion, Andrew has chosen edible greens that are native in most countries, are easily recognisable, and of great value to your patients.
