Plantains are one of the most common edible plants in North America, they’re extremely healthy and have a lot of different uses. After I started discovering them, they quickly became one of my favorite greens.

Before you try and eat anything in the wild though, keep in mind that 95% of every plant humans have discovered and named are toxic to us. Actual poison. Don’t try anything until you have a 100% positive ID on the plant, check multiple sources and make sure it is exactly right in shape, details, and features before you try to eat a new plant.

However, plantains are very common and very distinct from other plants in the areas they like to grow in so it will be fairly simple and safe to find.
