| If you don't recognize a plant and have to ask what it is, do not eat it. You need to get a good field guide with a key like Newcomb's before risking eating something. The plant picture you posted does not look like Wild Ginger (Asarum canadense). Even it is, wild ginger is not related to the ginger(Zingiber officinale) found in grocery stores and is dangerous to eat. Although wild ginger is used in some herbal supplements it is known to cause cancer and kidney failure and deaths have resulted from its use. |
