Edible Midwest Natives

Explore the botany, natural history and flavors of several local wild edible plants at Edible Midwest Natives on Wednesday, July 16 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. in the Mansion Carriage House.
Heidi Leuszler, the owner and head chef of Berries and Flour in Champaign, will focus on native plants that are harvestable at the time of class. Those could include spicebush, common milkweed, nettles, sweet Cicely, black raspberry, American persimmon, common prickly ash and violets.
Students will learn ethical and sustainable foraging practices, look at different types of harvesting gear, and take a short walk into the woods to find, identify and forage edible parts from selected species. Students will then clean, process and eat what was foraged, and will go home with a handful of recipes, samples and plants (resources permitting).
$65/person*. Register at https://allerton.illinois.edu/events/edible-midwest-natives/ by July 2. All sales are final.
*Students should bring work gloves and snippers/clippers.
