The fruit of this tree are edible raw or cooked. Although if eaten raw, the skin must be scored for some time in order to release a copious latex.

Isn’t that another? I remember a Youtuber who made living rat neurons play DOOM. He also made meat leaves, btw.

The next paragraph adds the explanation, why its wood is edible:
Although most wood is indigestible to humans due to the high lignin content, the yacaratiá tree is only around 10% cellulose while the rest is mostly water with very little lignin content. Unlike most plants, cells of this tree contain large spaces within their walls which store water.
It is in the Caricaceae (Papaya family) and apparently a pioneer species just like Papaya. No wonder it is mostly water and hardly any lignin!

Not a chance they can make a restaurant like this in Argentina. They are one of the most reluctant people to try different foods.
Also I’m double sceptical since the same article says it grows in tropical forests in Nicaragua etc, and Argentina has a single smallish area that could be called tropical forest, and that would be a stretch.
LordTE7R1S@lemmy.sdf.org 11 months ago
I totally agree, you can’t get most Argentines to eat anything different from milanesas, pasta and asado. Drinks too, you get hundreds if not thousands of different soft drinks and juices in other countries, here its just cola, fanta and sprite kind of beverages.

Really? I’m surprised.

Persimmons are like 40% lignin by weight. They are the largest cause of phytobezoars.

Related: videos about how much sawdust you can put into rice Krispies before it's noticeable.
Spoiler: it's like 30% by volume. Pretty wild.FosterMolasses@leminal.space 11 months ago

I used to eat the shells on sun flower seeds. That’s basically wood and it was indeed edible.

I still eat the shells on sunflower seeds. I would just buy them de-shelled if I didn’t want to eat them.
SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I mean all wood is edible for the most part. It’s also in a lot food!
Cellulose! It’s used to keep your shredded cheese from sticking together.

Edible, Non-Toxic, and Food form a Venn diagram.

Be careful with that advice. Yew is highly toxic.

Unamerican Fake wood, only the democrats could like it. An Oak tree came to me, big oak, strong oak, tears rolling down its eyes thanking me for finally ending the madness of the fake oak

That’s an extremely fast-growing monocot though without the ability of secondary growth and therefore with a much lower lignin content.
YerbaYerba@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
Found this Spanish language article about it. Sounds like a single company has developed the process to make it edible in 1999.

I watched a video from a guy who just goes into the forest to find ways to eat the trees. He really passionate about it.

Anything that can be eaten without causing harm is edible. The question is if it’s also digestible.
