Most plants contain toxins or are inedible, but common foods like white rice, carrots, and avocados are safe and nutritious. The video breaks down which plants you can actually eat without getting sick.
So it's not like all plants are the same. If you went out to the park and you just pick up some plants and eat them, you're probably going to end up in the hospital. Most plants are inedible, right? So the plants we do eat, are they all just amazing sources of nutrition? No. Some of them are barely edible, but they're better than starving. Some of them are reasonably edible, but they have a downside over time if you eat too much. And some of them, generally they don't have a lot of toxins and they're good for you. So what are some that you would say are okay? White rice, carrots, sweet potatoes. And there can be some oxalate in sweet potatoes. But generally the upside is higher than the downside. Things like broccoli and cauliflower are reasonably safe. I'm so glad everything you listed is something I like. Yeah, celery is good. Avocados are good. And all of them can have a downside. No plant is innocent. No animal protein is entirely innocent either. They just have less toxins on average.
