Hero Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Can I eat grass and leaves? like the grass on the ground and the leaves on trees. I am starving. I know they would probably taste bad, but can we, as humans, digest these, or will I get sick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odidnetne Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 You can't digest grass. You can digest leaves, they don't actually taste that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I eat leaves sometimes. I found a few good tasting ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizWorld Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 I do eat my surroundings every once in a while and I enjoy it very much. However, a few leaves and plants are poisonous so bring a flora with you And stay away from the red mushrooms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 I bet you you can get some nutrients out of grass...at least some of the chlorophyll. As for leaves I wouldn't say you can simply eat leaves because I'm sure some are deadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humans can't really digest grass though, so sticking with common leaves like maple and birch would probably be the better choice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 I'm just thinking its like swallowing gum. The parts you can't digest won't really do any damage but some of it is good. So I figure it won't hurt anything...you may just fart a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Maybe but thats pretty general. There are way too many types of leaves to say that and I can imagine some taste great while lots taste like paste(due to lots of sap in the veins), some may be really bitter, and some may taste like poo(just guessing). Then you have to count the leaves that are hairy...I don't wanna eat anything hairy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rawenergychic Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 In Australia we have Birch juice. It excretes body of accumulated water especially in cellulite areas. Also the leaves are used with almond oil to make a cellulite massaging oil. I dont know if the leaves have to go through a process but they do extract the leaves for its potent substances.
