For most of human history, humans have fed ourselves by foraging, with a little bit of hunting when we were lucky—think more gatherer than hunter. Picking edible greens, nuts, fruits, roots, and mushrooms kept us alive before the advent of farming and, scientists think, helped make us who we are. So why did we stop eating wild foods? And how did an arrest in Central Park, Martha Stewart, and COVID make foraging cool again? Listen in this episode as we head out into the park to find dinner, explore the unexpected connections between foraging and ADHD, Jim Crow, and Grape Nuts, and enjoy a delicious wild feast full of flavors we've been missing out on.
