Wild food is everywhere, once you know what you're looking at. Sproute turns your phone into a pocket field guide. Point your camera at a plant and it tells you what it is, whether it's edible, and what to watch out for. No guesswork, no lugging a heavy book down the trail. WHAT YOU CAN DO β’ Identify plants fast β snap a photo and get a match in seconds, powered by PlantNet. β’ Know what's edible β see which parts you can actually eat (leaves, flowers, roots) and how they're used. β’ Stay safe β Sproute flags poisonous plants and warns you about toxic look-alikes that fool even seasoned foragers. β’ Keep a journal β save every find and build your own foraging log to look back on. β’ Forage in season β see when each plant is at its best so you head out at the right time. MADE FOR REAL FORAGING We stick to the wild edibles you'll actually run into β 130+ species and growing β with clear, no-nonsense info you can trust in the field. Wild garlic, elderflower, blackberries, nettles, and plenty more. A WORD ON SAFETY Sproute is a guide, not a guarantee. Plant ID is never 100%, and some look-alikes are genuinely dangerous. Always confirm with a trusted source and never eat anything you're not completely sure of. We help you make a smarter call β the final one is yours. SPROUTE PREMIUM Go further with Premium: β’ Unlimited identifications β’ Every feature unlocked Sproute Premium is a weekly or yearly auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID, and it renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings.
