Lots of wild plants are edible and would have been eaten or used by our ancestors in the past but nowadays many of those customs have died out.
One custom which is easy to keep going is to collect a few blackberries or bilberries from a walk in Dartmoor’s woods and open moorland. You only need a few to give a delicious twist to an apple pie or crumble. Collect them in a small tub on your walk, give them a good wash when you get home and then add them to your pie with sliced and cored apple. You’ll probably find your helpers eat a few before you even get home!
