There may also be herb walks in your area. You also can find countless books on this topic.
For starters, it is enough to know the stinging nettle and the dandelion. Although some plants look similar to the dandelion, they are all edible. The similar-looking leaves, like the piglet’s herb, are only slightly hairier than those of the dandelion.

Edible Wild Plants for Health
The roots of wild plants reach deeper into the soil than the roots of conventionally grown leafy vegetables. What we call “weeds” is the best source of minerals and vitamins. For example, you can drink green wild plant smoothies daily for iron deficiency. Native plants have up to ten times more minerals than the vegetables and leafy greens from the supermarket. If everybody in your neighborhood starts his lawnmower to destroy these “terrible weeds,” you know it better. Also, wild plants are the home of many insect species, such as butterflies. Bees love dandelion. Instead of cutting everything down, it’s worth letting the lawn in the garden grow or growing one with wild grass seeds.
Edible Wild Plants are suitable for smoothies or to mix in salads.
You can store them for a few days in the fridge. Collect some supplies on your next walk in the meadow.
The stinging nettle, by the way, loses its combustibility during the process; if you cut and bring it home, it is gone. It is enough to throw them into the hot water, and it does not burn anymore.
That goes for tea or smoothies in particular. Also, you can let stinging nettle dry and then crumble and use them as a powder. Especially in winter, it is practical to use such a powder in smoothies if fresh green plants are not available. Read here about SPRING IS BEST TIME TO DETOX WITH THE STINGING NETTLE.
