Here’s a chill step-by-step to test out those potentially edible plants. 1️⃣Pick a Plant: Find one kind of plant that looks abundant. 2️⃣Separate the Parts: Break down the plant into its parts. Some parts might be safe while others aren’t. 3️⃣The Skin Test: Start with a simple skin test. Crush a part of the plant and rub it on your skin . Wait for about an hour. If there’s no reaction, it’s onto the next step. 4️⃣Lip Test: Next, place the plant part on your lip. Tingling, burning, or any irritation? Not a good sign. 5️⃣Tongue Test: Now, touch it to your tongue. Any weird feels, spit it out and rinse well. 6️⃣Chew but Don’t Swallow: If your tongue’s all clear, chew a bit but don’t swallow yet. 7️⃣Tiny Taste: Finally, if there’s still no reaction, you can swallow a small bit. Wait several hours. 8️⃣Cook It: Some plants are only edible when cooked, so if you can, try boiling it to break down any toxins. 9️⃣Gradual Introduction: Even if it seems safe, start with small amounts.
