What about wild berries?

Almost all the result of human breeding. And the few truly native ones are often small and bitter.

We have saskatoons that grow wild everywhere. The aboriginal people used to use them to flavour pemmican.
​
They are being cultivated now (and so are the buffalo), but the wild berries are - as far as I know - still wild.

Lots of bugs, worms, termites, ants, slugs....
​
"Lots" would seem to be the keyword there. Wouldn't it take a lot of sweat of our brow to forage for enough nourishment?
​
Or could worm-farming and ant-ranching be done without modifying them?

Re: Building a list
Don't most studies show foraging is actually less labor intensive than farming?
​
Now that you mention it, I remember reading somewhere that the bushmen of the Kalihari only spend about four hours a day "making a living".
