Edible plants are those that can be safely consumed by humans and provide nutritional value. They include a wide variety of species, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and herbs. Common examples are tomatoes, spinach, and apples, which are rich in vitamins and minerals essential for health. Many cultures around the world rely on edible plants for their diets. These plants can be cultivated in gardens or harvested from the wild. Understanding which plants are edible is important for foraging and sustainable eating practices, as some plants can be toxic if consumed.
