Soil does have some nutritional value, but I do not recommend it for human consumption. It can contain many different things, some of which are potentially nutritious, and some of which are potentially harmful. Plants derive minerals from soil. Earthworms find soil to be nutritious as well. But people are not adapted to digesting soil. I would suggest eating food, instead.
