Spring foraging guide: What to look out for and how to cook it
As walkers up and down the UK put on their waterproof jackets and walking boots, I’ve got some advice on making the most out of your spring walks.
Foraging for wild foods is a great way to add some flavour to your outdoor adventures. Nature has an array of ingredients that are free for UK walkers.
As long as you are in a public space or have the landowner’s permission, foraging in the UK is a great way to explore all the tastes and flavours that Mother Nature has to offer.
Rules for foraging responsibily in the UK
- Make sure you know what you are picking
- Seek permission from landowners if you are on private property
- Only pick for personal consumption
- Only collect from an abundant source
- Don’t dig up or remove plants
- Avoid roadsides and low-to-ground spaces where dogs are walked
