foraged

Hunted edible plants

Foraged is the past tense of forage, meaning to search for food or provisions.

Animals forage in the wild; humans forage for edible plants, mushrooms, or berries: We foraged for blackberries along the trail.

The word has gained currency with renewed interest in wild foods: foraged ingredients, a foraged salad.
