Foraging with Tama Matsuoka Wong

Foraging for a meal isn’t just a relic of our paleolithic past – it’s a growing trend in the local food movement. Guided by professional forager and author, Tama Matsuoka Wong, Science Friday toured western New Jersey’s meadows and forested trails to discover the native plants and invasive weeds that are used as culinary delicacies.
