    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.

    The wood of the yacaratiá tree is served as a delicacy in Argentinian restaurants. The wood is soaked in honey or syrup and is also available in chocolate bonbons or in flavored jams with sawdust. The wood is soft and fibrous and the taste has been compared to chestnuts.

    Reminds me of that YouTuber that keeps turning wood into ice cream.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    Just chewing on a twig of oak or fir isn’t gonna kill you.

    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.

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