Bali, Indonesia
Eat from the
Balinese Jungle
Walk with a local Balinese teacher through the private jungle. Learn which wild plants you can eat, gather what the kitchen needs, then cook and eat it together.
The Day
What grows after rain
The day starts by walking slowly. Your teacher shows you which wild plants can be eaten and which ones should be left alone. Paku after rain. Kecombrang at the edge of the path. Kelor, cassava leaves, turmeric, young jackfruit.
You gather what the kitchen will use. Then you cook it with coconut, chili, and the plants you just learned to see. Lunch is not separate from the walk. It is where the walk ends.
Forage Bali is connected to ForageSF, which has led wild food walks and classes in San Francisco since 2008.
Half of your payment goes directly to the person teaching that day.
Here the jungle ends up in the kitchen. Kelor in the pot, turmeric on hands, young jackfruit cut down for lunch.
Why It Matters
Kecombrang grows at the edge of the path, a torch ginger flower most people walk straight past. Cut and pounded into sambal, it turns a plate of greens into a meal.
Forage Bali exists to keep that kind of knowing visible.
