This book is a systematized overview of wild edible plants eaten in the territory of present
Estonia with a focus on the systematic changes within the field. Starting in the end of 18th
century when the first data was published the text is an extended version and compilation of
articles on the subject published by Drs. Kalle and Sõukand and includes unpublished fieldwork
results. This work covers changes and tendencies not covered previously due to the limits of
article length. Included in this data is a general overview table containing all used plant
taxa parts used and purposes of use. More details on specific food-uses are provided in
separate chapters analysing dynamics of changes of the importance of wild plants within the
specific food category.
