Urban foraging involves finding and gathering edible plants, fruits, or other natural foods in city environments. Common spots include parks, vacant lots, or street trees bearing fruits like mulberries or apples. Foragers identify safe, edible items such as dandelions, purslane, or wild herbs, often using guides or apps for accuracy. It’s a sustainable way to connect with nature, reduce food waste, and supplement diets. However, caution is key—avoid areas with heavy pollution or pesticide use, and always verify plant safety. Urban foraging fosters community, promotes local ecosystems, and encourages mindful eating, all while exploring the hidden bounty within concrete jungles. Check local laws before foraging. (106 words)
