Easy way to identify edible plants
I am trying to learn how to identify edible plants. I was wondering what is an easy way of learning this? I have the Peterson Field Guide of Eastern/Central North America Edible Wild Plants. Is it easier to learn one or two at first, then several at one time?

Here are two "pocket guides" that I give to all of my students to carry into the field. They are laminated and cost $5.95 each. They are available at Barnes & Noble and Border's Bookstores.
Each plant has a description of their uses, edibility and areas of common growth, as well as, cautions about which part of the plant not to use.
The medicinal guide is broken down into sections of ailment, e.g; [coughs, colds, flus] [wounds, sores & rashes, etc.] Very Informative! ;)
