Coastal wild food book available
January 30, 2014
A book on wild foods available along Alaska's southern coast is back in stock, according
to the Alaska Sea Grant Bookstore.
The third edition of "Surviving on the Foods and Water from Alaska's Southern Shores,"
by Dolly Garza, describes wilderness sources of nutritious foods useful in a survival
situation or just for everyday consumption. It's available for $7.50 in paperback
or $6.75 as a PDF download.
The booklet has recommendations on how to make drinking water safe and how to find
and prepare intertidal sea animals, bird eggs, land plants and seaweeds for eating.
Color pictures help distinguish edible plants and animals from poisonous ones. The
appendix provides nutritional values.
