The amount of available plants (or foods that are derrived from plants, like seeds) that can be eaten by humans is vast. To begin with, you can have fruits and vegetables. Grains (like oats, wheat, and flour - all which make bread and pastas) come from a plant. Nuts (peanuts, almonds, pecans, pine nuts, brazillian nuts, hazelnuts, chesnuts, and so on) and seeds (sunflower seeds tase really good!) all are from plants. Tea leaves and coffe beens are plants. Almost every herb and many spices come from plants, and a lot of oils (canola, corn, vegetable, sunflower, ect.) are derrived from plants. Though it may seem a bit exotic, trees can be eaten in the form banana leaves. Cactus can also be eaten (the fleshy meat is actually nice and tangy as a marinade!).
It depends entirely on the plant, but almost all plant parts are edible across the range of plant species in the world. One main exception is wood. Wood as defined by secondary xylem and/or plant stems hardened by lignin is not digestible. Young shoots of bamboo are edible, however. Although bamboo is thought of as wood, it is not true wood, but rather a member of the grass family.
All major plant parts are edible, depending. These include roots, other underground storage organs (tubers, bulbs, runners...), stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds.
Examples:
Root - carrots, sugar beet, turnip
Other underground storage organs - potato, ginger, onion, garlic
Stem - celery, lemon grass, rhubarb, asparagus
Leaf - spinach, brussels sprouts, lettuce
Flower - violet, rose, squash blossom, broccoli buds
Fruits - melon, cucumber, tomato, you know these ones
Seeds - wheat and other grains, sunflower seeds, pine nuts, peanut
Not all of these parts are edible on all plants. Some are tough, bitter, difficult to digest, or otherwise unpalatable. Others are poisonous.
There are some intersting plants in which several parts are edible. One example (I think) is celery. You can buy celery stalks (with edible leaves attached), celery root, and celery seed in the supermarket.
It depends on the plant. Some plants we just eat the fruits (apples, Oranges, watermelon). Others we eat the roots (potatoes, carrots, rutabaga), others we eat the leaves (spinach, dandelion, kale).
you can eat the stems leafs fruit seeds and roots
someday,people eat fruit,seed,stem,leaf,root and flower on the plant
Usually it is safe to eat leaves of Most plants
it depends what kind of plant
Fruit
what name of plants that all parts can be eaten
Thorns are pointed and sharp parts of plants that protect them from being eaten or touch by their enemies
The leaves, where photosynthesis takes place.
What parts of the plant are invovled with pollination?
Plant parts containing storage tissue are productive
what name of plants that all parts can be eaten
In my research the roots,seeds,fruits,flowers,leaves,flower bud and stems are the plant parts that can be eaten
Thorns are pointed and sharp parts of plants that protect them from being eaten or touch by their enemies
this is my question in you... what stem that can be eaten?
No. Honeysuckle is not eaten .
No
The green parts of a tomato plant contain solanine, which when eaten by a dog in HUGE quantities might sometimes be toxic.
Yes, the part of the cactus that's eaten dies. But no, what's left of the cactus plant doesn't die necessarily. It depends upon the size of the piece that's eaten, the manner in which the piece is removed, and the condition of the remaining body parts.
The upper parts.
All parts of the cabbage plant are edible. Generally only the leaves are eaten and the buds of broccoli. Collard is in the same plant family and the flowers of collards are put in salads.
I do not think so.More informationNo. All parts of the Mandrake plant are poisonous, although it does appear to have some medicinal uses. It should not be consumed as food.
