Creeping sorrel chutney by Saritha OTForaging is gathering ‘food’ — edible weeds, fruits and flowers — that grows in the wild (not uncultivated). Edible weeds are consumed across the country, and they vary due to geographical and climatic variations. “Edible weeds were used in cutlet, vada, chutney and even rotis. You see an empty plot — you will find many edible weeds there,” says Elizabeth S, a gardener from Bengaluru. “People have found these edible plants in the most unexpected places — flower pots on terraces,” she says.
