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.KindnessIsPunk@lemmy.ca 8 hours ago
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.

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

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!

Wasn’t there an old Reddit thread about eating a door over the course of a year?

Found this Spanish language article about it. Sounds like a single company has developed the process to make it edible in 1999.

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.

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.

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