Could anyone on HN give some insight as to what these 130 might be? to my knowledge, we don't even have 130 edible spices/plants growing naturally in France!

- jkh1 4y agoOf course there are more than that. Look at any comprehensive guide book on edible/foreageable plants and you'll definitely find more than a couple hundreds. For example, the plants for a future database (https://pfaf.org/user/Default.aspx https://pfaf.org/user/Default.aspx) lists thousands of edible plants that grow in temperate climates. Many plants are edible if only for some parts and many are not particularly tasty and/or need some preparation. Edit: To answer the question of the composition, the dominant taste comes from Tanacetum balsamita (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanacetum_balsamita https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanacetum_balsamita).
- kergonath 4y ago> we don't even have 130 edible spices/plants growing naturally in France! I counted 44 here*, but that’s only because I stopped just before the letter B. There are loads of edible and medicinal plants in France, as in much of the world. * https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_de_plantes_médicinales_de_France https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_de_plantes_médicinales...
