The following is a technique that should only be attempted in the event that you’re lost and trying to survive in the wilderness.

]]> 82561 13804 0 Step Separate components Take the plant you want to eat and break it down into its basic components: leaves, stems, roots, buds, and flowers.

]]> 82562 13805 0 Tip Test only one part of the plant at a time.

]]> 82563 13806 0 Step Smell the plant Smell the plant for strong or acid odors, which often indicate inedibility.

]]> 82564 13807 0 Step Test for contact poisoning Test for contact poisoning by placing a piece of the plant on the inside of your elbow or wrist. Usually 15 minutes is enough to induce a reaction.

]]> 82565 13808 0 Step Check reaction to lips Touch a small portion of the plant to the outer surface of your lips and hold it there for three minutes. If burning or itching occurs, the plant is unsafe to eat.

]]> 82566 13809 0 Step Try effect on tongue Place the small portion on your tongue and hold it there for 15 minutes. If any adverse reaction occurs, throw it out.

]]> 82567 13810 0 Step Chew sample If it passed the tongue test, thoroughly chew the sample, but don’t swallow it yet – hold it in your mouth for 15 minutes.

]]> 82568 13811 0 Step Swallow If no burning, itching, numbing, stinging, vomiting, or other reaction occurs after 15 minutes, swallow the food.

]]> 82569 13812 0 Step Digest sample Wait eight hours. If any ill effects occur, induce vomiting and drink a lot of water.

]]> 82570 13813 0 Step Repeat test with larger amount If no ill effects occur, eat a half-cup of the same plant part, and wait another eight hours. If no ill effects occur, the plant part is safe for eating.

]]> 82571 13814 0 Fact Potatoes and tomatoes are the only edible parts of the plants they grow on—the rest is poisonous.
