Explore how various cultures have traditionally used tree bark for therapeutic properties and how tree flowers can be transformed into delicious jams and syrups. The book begins with botanical basics and ethical foraging guidelines, then dives into three main sections: edible leaves, tree bark, and tree flowers. Each section details nutritional profiles, culinary uses, and medicinal applications, bridging the gap between botany, nutrition, and culinary arts.

It offers a unique perspective, blending scientific rigor with practical recipes, and promotes a sustainable relationship with our environment by recognizing trees as vital resources.
