7Mainly divided into three terrain divisions - valleys/bottomlands, plains, and mountains (Ozarks), Missouri's plant life reflects this, and is somewhat variable. For the forager, this demarcation translates to variety and even abundance. With Wild Edible Plants of Missouri, the enthusiast has a simple guide to this translation, that is, the state's most abundant and useful wild edible plants.

A discussion of each plant's edible use and preparation is the publication's primary aim, though space is also given to range and habitat, medicinal uses (if applicable), cautions, and noteworthy special considerations. Helpful additions include sustenance ratings (low, medium, or high), collection timing and desired plant-part indicators, county-by-county map-image, over 160 color photos, and a general index.
