Description from the creator

When you dig up wild ginger (Asaraum canadense) to harvest its tasty rhizomes, you kill the plant right? Wrong! Here's how to harvest this shade-tolerant, slow-growing native plant sustainably.

For anyone who is concerned about the aristolochic acid content of wild ginger, Hank Shaw has written an excellent, in-depth piece on it at honest-food.net/2012/05/22/wild-ginger-edible-t… (And no, I'm not concerned about eating it in small amounts as a spice, not a vegetable. Read Hank's piece and you'll understand why).
