Question 1

How do I identify a PANC?

Accepted Answer

Often, a photo is not enough to identify a plant species.It takes more than an image! Its texture, tonality, opacity, smell, seeds, fruits, flowers, roots, veins... in short, there are a multitude of variables that allow us to clearly identify whether a plant is edible or not.If you have just started in the world of PANC, I recommend seeking help from people close to you who understand a little about plants. They could be your grandmother, your aunt, your teacher, the farmer at the fair.We lose this proximity with plants when we leave the countryside, when we change the backyard of a house for the apartment window. So, asking those who have or had this contact is the best way to start!And if this person doesn't know the term PANC, no problem, ask them which plants they used to eat and which they no longer find in the supermarket or at the fair. Ask if they can help you get to know some of them ;)I'm sure this is the best start!
