Wild Edible Plants in or Near Fredericton

These are some wild edible plants I've tried in Fredericton.


Wood Sorrel:

Looks like hearts and is found on lawns, and is lighter coloured than grass (the darker coloured hearts are usually clover). Wood sorrel tastes like candy to me!

Pineapple Weed:

Tastes somewhat like pineapple, though I don't like this one that much.

Staghorn Suman:

These grow right on the walking trail in Fredericton! You can soak one of the red fruit bunches in water to make a kind of lemonade. I didn't like it that much but it wasn't terrible, kind of like tea. I don't like tea but maybe someone who does like tea would like it?
