Digital edition: The Aromatic Wild Herbs and Spices of the Midwest

Regular price $10.00

After selling out two printings of this book, we're taking it digital. This gets you a digital download of the field guide, to print out or keep on your computer or phone. 

After paying, you will receive a link to download the file. It could take up to an hour (though it should be much faster than that). We're allowing three downloads per purchase, so you can use the guide on multiple devices. (It's yours to use however you want, but we hope you'll send your friends and family here to buy their own copies!) If you have any issues with fulfillment beyond the expected wait for a download link, please contact us at edit@midwesterner.org.

Did you know that you can make a year-round substitute for maple syrup using maple bark? Or that you can brew a homegrown “chai” from ginger, turmeric, and wild spicebush and sweet clover? Have you ever considered making your own filé powder from the sassafras leaves in your backyard—and using it as a pizza topping? 

This is a pocket-sized guide to dozens of heartland wild edibles and their uses (with recipes) from Marika Josephson, the co-founder of Scratch Brewing and co-author of The Homebrewer's Almanac.
