The world is a huge place, and there are many plants and animals in it. Humans use some of these to survive, but there are a few that we don’t eat that we probably could. Here are some of them.
Cockscomb
Cockscomb is the jagged top of a rooster’s head. You may have seen it before. It can actually be found in lots of Chinese, Italian, and French food. In some places, it is also candied and served as a dessert. It tastes very nice, and is soft when you eat it.
Dandelions
Dandelions don’t seem like the type of flower you can eat, but you actually can. Lots of people use the flower to make wine, and they are high in antioxidants and help to clean toxins out of your body.
Cigarettes
As a whole, we have all agreed that smoking is not good for you or your body. However, cigarettes themselves contain natural antiseptic and anti-parasitic properties from the tobacco used to make them. If you are sick, you probably should just go to the doctor, but it is interesting information to know.
Tree Bark
Tree bark seems like something else you probably couldn’t eat due to its texture, but it is actually edible. You can’t actually eat the surface though. You will have to scrape off the rough layer far enough to get to the cambium layer, which is the edible part that lays right underneath it.
