edible plants

Greens you eat

Plants or parts of plants safe for human consumption.

The term encompasses vegetables, fruits, herbs, nuts, and foraged species like dandelion greens or wild mushrooms.

Foraging guides distinguish edible plants from toxic lookalikes: Make sure you can identify edible plants before eating anything from the wild.
