Plants to Use as Fresh Food BEWARE
Always take great care when considering a plant for eating purposes. I'm not talking of the well known fruits and vegetables in this instance of course. Many plants are classed as edible and if you think about it it is probably true to say that the vast majority will not poison you (take a look at all the cows, sheep and other herbivores) they would not be considered palatable. I cannot vouch for the safety of any plant in terms of eating and that's why I say BEWARE. The list below suggest that the plants can be used in their fresh form.
