Absolutely identify plants before using them as food. Poison hemlock has killed people who mistook it for its relatives, wild carrots and wild parsnips.
At times you may find yourself in a situation for which you could not plan. In this instance you may not have had the chance to learn the plant life of the region in which you must survive. In this case you can use the Universal Edibility Test to determine which plants you can eat and those to avoid.
Centrally located in the US, Sigma 3 does a plant walk 3 times a year. This way the plants can be observed in all stages of growth (they often look different at different times of the year). They cover appx 60 plants with each walk. Hemlock, wild carrots, and parsnips mentioned here are covered each time.
