In our time, when so much is said about the quality of life, let us not disregard the offerings of the earth, let us realize the value of the goods it provides us, and let us take on the obligation to "pass on" the empirical knowledge of centuries to the next generations. This book presents some of the hundreds of edible wild greens of the Greek flora, with the hope that you will easily recognize them, gather them, and taste them. An alphabet book for those who love nature, tradition, and take care of their healthy diet. Don't forget to take it with you on your excursion; it will be useful, and the benefits will be varied.
