Come spring time, the fields and hills of Higher Shouf and the West Bekaa villages burst with green abundance after months of being submerged in snow.
This is the time to experience how generous Mother Earth is, and to hit the fields collecting wild edible plants and learn all about their health and medicinal benefits from the traditional knowledge of women and shepherds living in those villages.
In Ein Zebde, West Bekaa, and in Mresti Al Shouf, Nabila Azzam, May Kanaan and Bassima Zeidan, hosts on darb el karam – food trail, will take you on trips around the villages to collect these plants and will host you at their tables d’hôte to taste local specialties made of Akkoub, Dardar, Wild Chicory, Meshe and others.
