Handy hints and tips
Plants for survival
When you have found sufficient shelter, warmth and water you will need a steady supply of food. In most survival situations when food supplies are limited and your stores of tinned goods and other food rations are running low, plants and nature can be a great asset to your food supply.
Nature is ideal to provide you with food packed with nutrients.
Some individuals may be sensitive to certain plants leading to an upset stomach so it’s advised to try in small quantities first.
Always ensure you use this guide when eating new plants for the first time to insure they are safe to eat. Many plants can be poisonous and even deadly.
Only test one part of the plant i.e. bud, root or stem.
Always separate the whole plant into sections before use; the root, buds, leaves and flowers.
Hold the plant close to your nose and smell the plant to see if it has a strong acidic odour.
Do not eat any thing for at least eight hours before taking the following tests.
Rub the plant on your wrists and on your elbows waiting for approximately fifteen minutes to see if any irritation occurs. If irritation occurs leave the plant and discard it immediately (do not eat it).
Only drink pure water and the plant you are currently testing, if no irritation has occurred continue with the following tests.
Take a small part of the plant then place it onto your lips. Rub the plant on and around your lips and put some just inside the bottom of your mouth. Wait for up to three minutes. If no irritation (itching or burning) appears, then continue.
Place the plant onto your tongue, holding it there for a furtherfifteen minutes. If no reaction has occurred then begin to chew the plant but do not swallow at this point. Wait for a further fifteen minutes. If no irritation (itching or burning sensation) occurs, then continue to swallow the remainder of the plant in your mouth.
Wait now for eight hours before eating any more of the plant. If within the past eight hours you have experienced any symptoms of burning, itching or nausea, immediately induce vomiting then slowly drink lots of water, sipping first.
If you have had no side effects then eat a small amount of that part of the plant. If after the following eight hours you are fine and have no side effects then continue to eat the plant as normal.
Be aware that some plants have flowers that are safe to eat but the root or the stem is poisonous. Be sure to test each part of the plant separately in the same way.
Consuming large quantities of certain plants may cause diarrhea, stomach cramps or even nausea.
When eating plants, as a rule, you have to be very careful not to eat any poisonous plants. If they have milky or discoloured sap, thorns, spikes or a bitter taste or an almond scent leave them alone and do not even attempt to eat them. Three-leaved plants or foliage are potentially dangerous. Red or white berries that you don’t know are safe can be potentially fatal. Always avoid eating plants that are shaped like beans.
