This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the wood badge in Foraging.

For this BB, you will spend 10 days eating 90% foraged food!


(source: Pinterest.com)

To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
- 10 days eating 90% foraged food
    o 90% by calories
    o More than 6 foraged food types per day
    o Can include preserved foraged foods
    o Don’t have to be consecutive days
    o Minimum 1200 calories per day

To document your completion of the BB, provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 mins):
- make a permies thread documenting you eating 90% foraged food for 10 days (must meet above stated requirements)

Clarifications:
- Apples from a neighbor don’t count here.  
- Apples from a homestead that has been abandoned for at least five years does count.  
- Apples oddly growing in a place where there has never been any cultivation counts too (probably a discarded apple core led to the tree).  
- Apples that are the result of guerilla gardening do count.

How would you check the calories for foraged foods wbich often are difficult to find nutritional information on? Is “this looks like 1200 calories” enough evidence?

Also what is meant by “foraged food type”? Is this species, genus? Or is it more like root vegetable, shoots, greens, berries, seeds, etc?
 
Chris has 3 apples and Monika has 4 apples. With this tiny ad they can finally make a pie!
